Tecno has launched new smartphones under Pova series called Pova 5 Pro 5G. It comes with interesting design and new features in which some of them are first for a sub 15k price range. I have got opportunity to spend some time with the latest Tecno Pova 5 Pro 5G and here is my review on the same.
Tecno Pova 5 Pro 5G Review
Design
Tecno Pova 5 Pro stand out of the crowd due to its unique design with Arc Interface with a 3D-textured design, supporting RGB light gamut at the back for notifications, calls and music. The device is available in two color variants. Dark Illusion and Silver Fantasy. The back has transparent glass like finish with RGB lights. When you get notifications, calls or playing games, these light will glow. It can be customisable as per your taste. It is a unique design which I haven’t seen on other smartphone till date.
Display
It sports 6.78 inch massive 120Hz full-HD+ LCD display with 240Hz Touch Sampling rate. It provides good colors and quite sharp. Brightness is good for indoor use. In outdoor conditions it is legible in most of the situation except under bright sunlight.
Performance
The new Pova 5 Pro is powered by MediaTek Dimensity 6080 6nm Processor with 8GB RAM and 128GB or 256GB of UMCP internal storage. There is a dedicated microSD card slot which you can use if you want more storage. In the Antutu benchmark scores, it returns around 390k. It handles most of the tasks effortlessly and gaming experience is just fine. As far as connectivity, it supports 10 bands of 5G. It runs on HiOS 13.1 based on Android 13. There are very few bloatwares in which some are uninstallable. Dual Stereo Speakers with DTS are welcome addition.
Battery
Under the hood, Pova 5 Pro has 5000 mAh battery which does provide good battery life. Best part is phone comes bundled with 68W fast charger. It is capable of charging 50% of its 5000 mAh the battery in just 15 minutes. In a era where, charging adapters becoming rare in the phone retail box, bundling fast charger is highly appreciable. This phone does support reverse charging.
Bypass charging technology
A notable feature considering the price point is by-pass charging technology. It ensures that power is efficiently directed straight to the mobile phone’s motherboard even while gaming during charging sessions. Not only does this accelerate the charging process, but it also prevents overheating, safeguarding the phone’s performance and longevity.
Camera
Tecno Pova 5 Pro 5G houses dual camera setup with 50MP primary sensor and a AI sensor. In well lit conditions it takes pretty good images and can record upto 2K 30fps and 1080p 60fps. The camera app has many modes such as Film, AI Cam, Beauty, Portrait and Super Night. There is also a 16MP AI camera with (F2.0 Aperture). Overall for the price segment, camera performance is satisfactory.
The Arc Interface
The main highlight of the Pova 5 Pro 5G is its LEDs located under back panel. It lights up while you are charging the phone, playing music from streaming apps, boot it up and receive notifications. They are clearly visible in indoor conditions. They can customised or set the time period to enable or disable it. Though it depends on personal preferences, I personally found helpful.
Summary
Tecno Pova 5 Pro 5G is a good phone considering its price. The bundled 68W fast charger and Arc interface are distinguished features. If you have a budget of around Rs.15,000, then Tecno Pova 5 Pro 5G is worth considering.
