Tecno has entered the 5G segment with the launch of Pova 5G, its first smartphone featuring 5G network technology, in order to compete with other smartphone behemoths. It's also the company's first MediaTek Dimensity-powered device, with a six nanometer Dimensity 900 5G chipset, 120hz high refresh rate display, 8GB LPDDR5+3GB virtual RAM, and a few other notable features.
It is Tecno Mobile's first 5G device, as well as the first to employ the MediaTek Dimensity chipset, and that too the Dimensity 900, which is a more powerful mid-range chipset than the Dimensity 810u that powers the Poco M4 Pro and Redmi's China-only Note 11. But, what exactly does this bring to Tecno's Pova series? I used the smartphone for a while and here's how it performed.
What's in the box?
When it comes to packing, Tecno doesn't waste any time. It comes in a quite long box that doesn't really contain anything additional save the usual accessories - the Tecno Pova 5G handset, USB Cable, Charger, User Guide, SIM Ejector pin, Warranty Card and Plastic Case. Now, the protective casing that comes in the box isn't your typical one; it's beautifully crafted. However, it is made of plastic and is rather light. It does not appear to provide much protection, but that is not a concern because the Pova 5G has a plastic back and should be robust. In case you're curious, it also comes with a pre-installed screen protector right out of the box.
Design
On the design front, the Tecno Pova 5G has a familiar look, with the camera module positioned to the left of the back in a modest bump. The rear, as previously stated, is made of plastic and has a reflective shiny surface. The proud insignia of premier football club Manchester City FC (Man City) is prominently shown in the bottom right corner of the dual pattern design with slanted stripes.
