The POVA 6 PRO 5G, TECNO’s newest product, is one of the most distinctive and striking smartphone looks I’ve seen in a while.
When it comes to design, cameras, performance, display, and battery life, budget smartphones have improved to the point that you can expect a respectable smartphone experience no matter how much you spend.
The unique design of the POVA 6 PRO 5G makes it stand out right away. The rear panel, which TECNO refers to as the photolithography technique, has a distinct texture.
Furthermore, the gadget has a stylish touch thanks to the integration of more than 200 LEDs with customizable illumination, known as the Dynamic illumination Effect. This lighting can be adjusted for calls, alerts, and music playing. The POVA 6 PRO 5G has a large 6000mAh battery, but it still has a compact design. The device’s smooth and immersive 120Hz AMOLED display improves the visual experience even further for both daily usage and gaming.
The enormous 6.8-inch AMOLED screen creates vivid images, and the Dolby Atmos speakers are really superb. This year’s Mobile World Congress was held in Barcelona, and Javier Foncillas, Vice President of Product Partnerships at Dolby, made some encouraging remarks about the company’s collaboration with TECNO. And the first result of that collaboration is the POVA 6 PRO 5G. The audio on the smartphone is excellent, with sharp treble and thumping bass without sacrificing any mids. The sound system optimizes the auditory experience by adjusting to the material.
With up to 24GB of RAM and 256GB of storage, the POVA 6 PRO 5G has powerful internal specs that provide enough of room for multitasking and media storage. The inclusion of a 70W charger and a sturdy 6000mAh battery efficiently allays worries over charging speeds and battery life. This combination is especially desirable for those who use their cellphones a lot during the day.
With a 3x sensor zoom, the gadget has a 108MP back camera and a 2MP portrait/depth camera. Images captured in both natural and artificial lighting display consistency and vibrant hues. Some graininess may be seen in low light, but considering the device’s price point, this is to be expected. Notably, TECNO adds a fascinating function to the front camera that lets users customize the brightness and color temperature for optimal outcomes. The camera is outfitted with a dedicated dual-tone flash.
