Tecno has done that with Pova 6 Neo. Tecno Pova 6 Neo 5G has an attractive design. We had the Midnight Shadow variant for this review and it looks great. The phone has a boxy body with round corners. The edges are neither too sharp nor curved, which makes the phone easy to hold. It is also extremely lightweight and has a slim form. All things that eventually add to the comfort you would feel using the phone for long hours. The almost glittery matt finish of the plastic back panel is attractive. It doesn’t attract fingerprints, which is great. We used it the entire time without any back cover, and was as good as new. The camera module with a glass cover adds an interesting touch to the overall design. Tecno Pova 6 Neo 5G - Display Tecno Pova 6 Neo 5G - Display Size 16.94 cms (6.67”) Refresh Rate 120Hz Display Screen-to-Body Ratio 90% Touch Sampling Rate 240 Hz Pixel Density 263 Brightness 480 Nits Screen Aspect Ratio 20:09 Resolution 720x1600 HD+ The Tecno Pova 6 Neo 5G comes with decent that supports everyday tasks smoothly. The 6.67-inch punch-hole screen feels large enough. While the resolution isn’t the sharpest around, it still delivers decent clarity, especially for everyday use. The high refresh rate is an advantage. It makes everything smooth – from casual browsing to intense gaming sessions. We responsiveness of the display is noticeable. While it comes with a decent screen-to-body ratio, we noticed that the bezels seem a lot wider than expected, especially at the bottom of the screen. Anyhow, the display is good for watching videos or casual streaming. As for brightness, the phone holds up well in almost every surrounding condition. Not under direct sunlight though, you can expect decent performance outdoors otherwise. Overall, it’s a pretty solid display for a phone in this price range. Tecno Pova 6 Neo 5G - Performance Tecno Pova 6 Neo 5G - Performance Processor MediaTek Dimensity 6300 RAM Up to 16GB (8+8GB) LPDDR4x Storage Up to 256GB Software Version HiOS 14.5, based on Android 14 Powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 6300 5G chip, the Pova 6 Neo is a pretty good smartphone for everyday tasks. We didn’t experience any slowing down or lags in regular tasks. Even when multitasking between apps, it can handle the load well. However, you can’t expect too much heavy lifting from this phone. You can play games but do not expect a smooth experience in graphic-heavy games. It’s not a flagship chip, but the phone can handle casual gaming with ease and without stuttering too much. We tried playing BGMI and while it was smooth initially for a few minutes, the phone started heating up soon after. Frame drops were also noticeable too while the sharpness in visuals was missing. So, we suggest that you stick to casual gaming when it comes to this phone. We tested the phone on multiple benchmarks and it did perform decently well. The AnTuTu score of the phone came close to 463K and the rest of the benchmark results are below for your reference. The brand claims this is the first in its segment to offer 16GB of RAM (8GB + 8GB virtual), paired with 256GB of storage. The phone is truly more than enough for most people, whether you’re a casual gamer, a multitasker, or someone who likes to hoard photos and videos. Tecno Pova 6 Neo 5G - Camera Performance Tecno Pova 6 Neo 5G - Camera Performance Rear Camera 108-megapixel AI camera Front Camera 8-megapixel selfie camera Video Recording Up to 2K at 30fps The camera setup on the Tecno Pova 6 Neo 5G is the highlight of the phone. We not saying this only for the hardware but also for the whole packing of the camera setup with a bunch of in-built AI tools. Tecno has tried to give users something interesting, but we’ll talk about the AI features in our next segment. Let’s focus on the camera. On the back, you’ve got a 108MP AI camera, which is pretty impressive for a phone in this segment. The 3X lossless in-sensor zoom lets you zoom in without losing much detail, and the Super Night mode does a decent job in low-light conditions. Whether you’re shooting portraits, vlogs, or time-lapse videos, the camera handles it all well. And it comes with a variety of shooting modes, like Pro, Panorama, and even AR Shot. Tecno Pova 6 Neo 5G Day Samples Tecno Pova 6 Neo 5G Night Samples Tecno Pova 6 Neo 5G Day Video Tecno Pova 6 Neo 5G Night Video Up front, there’s an 8MP selfie camera with dual colour temperature flash. It’s nothing groundbreaking, but it works well enough for casual selfies, and the AI Cam adds some nice enhancements. You’ve also got features like portrait mode, 2K video recording, and even a vlog mode, which is perfect for content creators who want to record quick clips on the go. Overall, the camera performance is quite versatile and delivers solid results, especially with the 108MP sensor leading the charge. Tecno Pova 6 Neo 5G - AI Feature AIGC Portrait What Does It Do? Create unique avatars of your photo and find something unique to your liking Performance We tried creating portraits and while it is interesting to have, the results could have been better. The portraits hardly resemble the real person behind the lens, which defeats the purpose. It is fun to experiment with though. AIGC Portrait Example - AI Magic Eraser What Does It Do? Remove unwanted objects or people from your photos. Performance It is a useful feature. And it works on minor objects in a photo pretty well. However, you can’t expect smooth results when the object is a little big. AI Magic Eraser Example - AI Magic Eraser - Example 1 AI Magic Eraser - Example 2 AI Magic Eraser - Example 3 AI Cut Out What Does It Do? Simply long press on an image and Voila! Create clean cut-outs effortlessly Performance It does a decent job. Doesn’t cut the exact shape but still a useful feature to have. AI Wallpaper 2.0 What Does It Do? Generate wallpapers from text or images with multiple templates to choose from. Performance We tried multiple times both Text and Image-based AI wallpapers, and the results were disappointing. The main command was mostly missed. This was a thumbs-down. AI Artboard What Does It Do? Turn random strokes into detailed images, helpful for designers and professionals. Performance It is a decent tool. Detects and work on commands well. ASK AI What Does It Do? Text generator, text optimizer, grammar checker, and more. Performance Probably the most useful of all AI features. As we tested, it was close to accurate on most of the occasions. However, it can’t be relied on blindly. A human review of the text will be required. Tecno Pova 6 Neo 5G - Battery life Tecno Pova 6 Neo 5G - Battery life The Tecno Pova 6 Neo 5G packs a 5000mAh battery.
