Tecno POVA 6 NEO 5G design review is excellent. I have a Speed Black phone that is very beautiful. I felt pretty premium while using this phone because it has a perfect look. Its back is made entirely of plastic, and the camera module behind it is also plastic.

This camera module has two lens; a third is a flash, and I don’t know what the fourth thing is. The rest is a flat design, and the in-hand feel is quite good.

By the way, this phone is lightweight at 192.3 grams; even here, you also get a 5000mAh battery. If I talk about its overview, then there is a 108-megapixel camera at the back, the second is the depth sensor, and the branding of Tecno is below.

If you look at the right side, there is a power button along with a fingerprint scanner and a volume rocker. On the left side is a SIM tray in which you can put two SIMs and one SD card.

Its overall dimensions are 165.4 mm in height, 76.8 mm in width, and 7.8 mm in thickness. It has an IP54 rating for water resistance.

The rest of the phone has a headphone jack, microphone, and USB-C port at the bottom. Also, there is a speaker grill here, and the speaker grill can be seen on the top as well, which means you get stereo speakers in it, so this is also correct.

Overall, the Tecno POVA 6 NEO 5G review in the design segment is excellent.

The Tecno POVA 6 NEO 5G has a 108-megapixel rear camera. This camera does not have OIS; instead, it has electronic image stabilization. The second camera is a 2-megapixel depth camera. The performance of the main camera’s photos is very good. There is no problem indoors or outdoors. Where there is good light outdoors, the colours are quite vibrant.

I would say that its colour output is sound here. Even here, the skin tones also look a bit vibrant and have a yellow side, but in some places, they are outstanding. Its dynamic range is good, like the background, etc. It captures exquisite detail, etc.

Edge detection is excellent in portraits, so in my opinion, its primary camera, which has 108 megapixels, is perfect. It performs pretty well even in low light, so according to the price, its primary camera is decent because I found it suitable.

The selfie camera of Tecno POVA 6 NEO 5G is only 8 megapixels. If you take photos during the day, then some detail comes out well, but as soon as you take pictures in low light, the result is not that good. Despite all this, it has an LED light in the front, so you can use the front camera to take selfies or videos at night. LED lights in the front are usually less on the phone. This phone has 3x zoom.

Regarding the videos, the main camera has 108 megapixels and can take 2k at 30fps and 60fps at 1080p. Based on this price, I am saying that the video performance is decent. So, the Tecno POVA 6 NEO 5G camera review is almost okay.

Tecno POVA 6 NEO 5G has a 5000mAh battery, which can last the whole day very well. Here, you have an HD screen, so the battery can last even longer. I used it and played a lot of games, like BGMI, COC, Asphalt 9, etc., so the battery is quite good.

An 18-watt charger is included in the box, so it will take about one and a half hours to charge fully, which is a lot of time. I think it would have been better if it had taken an hour to charge.

Overall, Tecno POVA 6 NEO 5G battery review is excellent because you will not get this type of battery performance in this price range.

Tecno POVA 6 NEO 5G has a 6.67 inch LCD display. Its refresh rate is 120Hz, so the display is quite smooth. There is no feeling of lag, etc. It still has an LCD display; I think it should have been an AMOLED display.

But the quality of the display is good here. Obviously, there is no AMOLED display, but there is still a lot of punchy colours here, and sharpness is also good. So you can stream in HD on whatever OTT platform is available. This phone has an HD screen, so the viewing experience is good.

The rest are stereo speakers whose performance is good.

This phone has a maximum brightness of 480nits, but there is no problem with visibility indoors or outdoors. Yes, if there is a lot of sunlight, etc., then the visibility may seem a little less.

It does not have HDR10, so that is a bit of a bad point, but what I liked the most about its 120Hz refresh rate is that Apple iPhone 16 still has a 60Hz refresh rate.

Tecno POVA 6 NEO 5G has a MediaTek Dimensity 6300 for fast processing. I received 8GB RAM and 256GB storage variants for review, which offer smooth processing. It has another variant with 6GB RAM and a 128GB storage variant.

Moreover, it has a UFS 2.2 type storage, which is almost good. You can also insert memory card to expand internal storage.

I ran several performance tests on the Tecno POVA 6 NEO 5G to review it. Its Geekbench scores are 724 in single-core and 1818 in multi-core. The maximum in the CPU throttling test is 62.6 per cent. Moreover, its Antutu score is 434003. The 3D Mark Sling Shot Extreme Stress Test score is 2728.

It warmed during the Antutu benchmark and CPU throttling test. I also played games like BGMI, COC, and Asphalt, but this phone will be warm during long play sessions.

The Tecno POVA 6 NEO 5G overall performance review is decent in this price range.

The Tecno POVA 6 NEO 5G has Android 14 and HiOS UI 14.5.

This gives you two years of security updates, which I think is a bit less.

It has a lot of bloatware, such as Snapchat, Meet, Facebook and more. So you will not get a very clean experience, but you can remove it as per your requirement. Bloatware can slow down your phone.

It will also have many AI features, such as an AI Cam, AI wallpaper, AI artboard, AI magic eraser, AI-powered precise cutout, etc.

You will also get a dynamic island-like iPhone, which will make your calls, music, and other tasks easier. So, the Tecno POVA 6 NEO 5G UI review is also excellent.
