TECNO POVA 5 PRO: Much More Than A Light Show; Fast Processor, Big Screen & Strong Battery Make It A Good Midranger
5G is the latest mobile network and most of the mobile phones released today support this technology. If you are looking for a handy phone that allows you to use all the main features without too much hassle, Tecno Pova 5 Pro might be a good choice. It has a fast processor, large screen, powerful battery and powerful cameras. The build quality is pretty good and the smooth and fast performance is highly recommended for the price. The smartphone is available in two color options: Dark Illusion (our test sample) and Silver Fantasy. Prices start at Rs 14,999. Let's take a look at some of the main features.
Design & Display: Pova 5 Pro features an immersive backlit arc interface, a visually appealing design with 3D texture and innovative lighting effects on the back; The latter can be configured for calls, notifications and music playback. The LED lights are visible in a well lit room and this is definitely a big draw. The phone features a sleek and bright 6.78-inch high pixel density FHD+ display with a 120Hz refresh rate and an impressive 240Hz touch sampling rate, making the phone a better gaming device than the competition. I tested the phone outdoors in direct sunlight with high brightness and we were able to see it perfectly.
Performance: Tecno equips the Pova 5 Pro with a MediaTek Dimensity 6080 processor that handles most tasks with ease, including some graphics-intensive games. The phone runs HiOS 13.1, which is based on Android 13. It is available in two configurations: 128GB or 256GB of storage, both with the same 8GB of RAM. As for the real experience, I have no complaints. Everything works fine on the device. We made calls, texted, played games and more with ease.
Battery life is another impressive feature of this phone. It is equipped with a 5000 mAh battery, which lasts a whole day without recharging. It also comes with the industry's first 68W ultra-fast charger, which power users are sure to find useful. You can charge up to 50% in 15 minutes. The phone also features bypass charging technology, which ensures that power is efficiently routed directly to the mobile phone's motherboard during charging sessions, even while gaming.
Cameras: The phone is equipped with 50MP + AI dual camera, F1.6 aperture and dual LED flashlight. The imaging system is capable of capturing beautiful shots in both daylight and less-than-ideal lighting conditions. It can record videos up to 2K 30fps and 1080p 60fps, which is not bad for a smartphone in this segment. There's also an AI secondary camera here, but no ultra-wide-angle camera. On the front is an impressive 16MP AI selfie camera (F2.0 aperture) with flash. I tested the cameras in different lighting conditions and was pleased with the results. Images look sharp and clear both in direct sunlight and in the dark.
Pros: Tecno's Pova 5 Pro combines high performance and a powerful battery in an attractive design, making it a good choice for mid-range Android in the Rs 15,000 price range.
