Tecno is now selling the Pova 3 - a midranger with a huge battery and some gaming-oriented features. The phone is powered by a Helio G88 chipset and brings expandable RAM for both memory options. It is already up for sale on Amazon with a starting price of INR 11,499.
The front panel of the Pova 3 is a 6.9”
LCD with Full HD+ resolution and 90 Hz refresh rate in some scenarios. There is
a single punch hole for an 8 MP selfie camera. There is also a thin dual LED
flash in the top bezel for better pictures in a dark environment. The trio on
the back has a 50 MP main camera, but Tecno remains silent on what are the
other two shooters. At least we can see there is a quad-LED flash next to the
cameras.
The Transsion brand calls the Pova 3
“India’s first 7,000 mAh phone with 33W fast charger”, which is technically
correct, and yes, it sounds extremely cherry-picked. The Galaxy M51 was the
first phone in the country with such capacity back in August 2020, while the
Huawei Mate 20 Pro introduced such fast-charging rates even earlier - October
2018.
Thankfully, the phone supports reverse
charging at 10W, and Tecno applied a Graphene Film Cooling, which is a
hair-slim sheet of graphite, for better cooling. The Pova 3 has HiOS 8.6 user
interface, and Amazon claims it is based on Android 12. Tecno Pova 3 is
available in three colors - Black, Blue, and Silver. The INR 11,499 (US$ 145) price
is for a 4/64 GB variant but there is a more powerful option that costs
INR 12,999 (US$ 165).
