A few days ago, a new and very hot phone debuted in the Indian market: the Tecno Pova 3. A device from a non-widespread brand if we consider the whole global market, but with great specifications when it comes to the budget segment. With the release of this new low cost handset, a lot of people are wondering whether or not it is a good upgrade compared to its predecessor Tecno Pova 2. To be honest, there are no huge differences between these two devices which make it worth upgrading from one to another. But if you are evaluating both of these devices for a new purchase, then you have to know the difference between them in order to choose the best for your needs and pay the most appropriate price. Here is a comparison between the specifications of the Tecno Pova 3 and its predecessor Tecno Pova 2.

Tecno Pova 2 vs Tecno Pova 3

Design

One of the most important upgrades of the Tecno Pova 3 if compared to its predecessor is definitely the design. The handset which officially debuted at the end of last month comes with a cleaner design: there is no camera module and the sensors are placed directly on the back cover. The new phone seems to have narrower bezels around the display and it is thinner than its predecessor, even though it has the same battery capacity. The Electric Blue color option of the Tecno Pova 3 comes with a special RGB notification light stripe on the back, a very interesting feature that is not easy to find on non-gaming phones. So, as you already understood, the newly-announced budget phone wins the design comparison.

Display

The Tecno Pova 3 and its predecessor have the same screen diagonal: 6.9 inches. We are talking about huge displays among the biggest out there, almost like the smallest tablets. It is hard to find 6.9-inch phones in the actual market and this is another reason why a lot of people appreciate these devices, even though they are harder to use with one hand and to keep in a pocket. Both are IPS LCD displays with a Full HD+ resolution, but there is an important difference between these two panels: the refresh rate. The Tecno Pova 3 has a higher 90 Hz refresh rate, so it provides a smoother viewing experience, while the Pova 2 stops at 60 Hz. The fingerprint readers are side-mounted and both the phones feature stereo speakers for a rich audio experience, as well as a 3.5 mm audio jack.

Specs & Software

The Tecno Pova 3 is powered by the MediaTek Helio G88 mobile platform: it is a chipset built at 12 nm and running at a max frequency of 2 GHz, without the 5G connectivity. On this phone, it is paired with up to 6 GB of RAM and up to 128 GB of internal storage that you can furtherly expand by using a micro SD slot. The Tecno Pova 2 has the same hardware department but with a lower-end chipset: we are talking about the Mediatek Helio G85 built at 12 nm and running at a max frequency of 2 GHz. The Helio G88 is an upgrade of the Helio G85 with the same GPU but better CPU performance. Even though there is almost a year of difference between the launch dates of these two devices, they both run Android 11, customized by HiOS.

Camera

The Tecno Pova 3 brings a better camera department to the shelves thanks to a superior main camera. While its predecessor Tecno Pova 2 offered a 48 MP main sensor, the new device is equipped with a 50 MP main camera providing higher detail and better overall photo quality. The older model has one more camera on the rear side, but it is a useless 2 MP snapper, that is why it is better to have a superior main camera. In both cases, we are talking about low-end camera phones, but it is worth mentioning the difference between the camera setups. Both the handsets are able to record 1440p videos and feature 8 MP front cameras.

Battery

The battery is maybe the strongest point of these devices for a lot of people. They come with a huge battery capacity of 7000 mAh and, in 2022, the amount of phones with a so big battery is very low. Thanks to this battery, they are able to last several days on a single charge. Given that the components are similar and the processors are built with the same production process, the battery life between these two phones should not change too much. But you should note that the Tecno Pova 3 has faster charging speeds thanks to 25W fast charging (instead of just 18W).

Price

You need at least $180 to purchase the Tecno Pova 3 and at least Rs. 11,999 or $154 to buy the Pova 2 (we are talking about listing prices and not street prices). Which one would you pick?

The Redmi 10 went official and it is going to hit the Indian market under the Redmi 10 Prime moniker. Is it the right phone to conquer the budget segment? How many good rivals does it have? We believe that one of the best ways to answer these questions is by comparing the handset with the other best devices sold at similar prices. In the Indian market, among the best handsets which can compete with the Redmi 10 Prime, there are Motorola Moto G30 and Tecno Pova 2. Let’s find out which one offers the highest value for money and which is the best phone of the trio.

Xiaomi Redmi 10 Prime vs Motorola Moto G30 vs Tecno Pova 2

Design

The Redmi 10 Prime is attractive because it has a similar design to the Xiaomi Mi 10 Ultra, so it is aesthetically similar to a flagship. However, the materials are obviously not the same as the phone is made of polycarbonate. The Redmi 10 Prime is the thinnest and most lightweight phone of this trio and it also offers a slightly higher screen to body ratio. With the Motorola Moto G30, you get a water repellent design which may turn useful if you want to use the phone in the rain. The Tecno Pova 2 is elegant but too big for an average user.

Display

The most advanced display belongs to the Redmi 10 Prime: it has a 6.5-inch diagonal, a Full HD+ resolution, and a 90 Hz refresh rate. It is not an advanced panel as it is a traditional LCD display like the ones you can find on most budget phones, but it is better than the HD+ display of the Motorola Moto G30 due to its higher resolution. The Tecno Pova 2 has a Full HD+ display just like the Redmi 10 Prime, but it comes with a standard refresh rate.

Hardware/Software

If you are looking for the best hardware department, you should go for the Redmi 10 Prime without thinking twice. It offers the powerful Mediatek Helio G88 mobile platform which is good for gaming and advanced usage patterns, paired with up to 6 GB of RAM and up to 128 GB of native storage. You can get the same memory configuration with the Moto G30 and the Tecno Pova 2, but with weaker chipsets. The phones run Android 11 out of the box with different customizations: the MIUI found on the Redmi 10 Prime is the best one, imho.

Camera

On the paper, the 64 MP quad camera of the Motorola Moto G30 looks like the most interesting one. It has a brighter focal aperture which should allow better performance in low light conditions, and there is also a better 13 MP front camera allowing to capture better selfies. Right after, we got the 50 MP quad camera of the Redmi 10 Prime. The Tecno Pova 2 has an inferior 48 MP main sensor and it lacks an ultrawide camera, unlike Redmi 10 Prime and Motorola Moto G30.

Battery

The Tecno Pova 2 has a mammoth battery and it is the best battery phone of this trio with a capacity of 7000 mAh. However, the Redmi 10 Prime and the Motorola Moto G30 are still great battery phones with a capacity of 5000 mAh.

Xiaomi Redmi 10 Prime vs Motorola Moto G30 vs Tecno Pova 2: Price

We still do not know the price of the Redmi 10 Prime in India, but we suppose it will cost around Rs. 12,000 ($163). Moto G30 costs Rs. 11,000 ($150), while Tecno Pova 2 starts from Rs. 10,500 ($143). The Redmi 10 Prime is the most advanced device due to its better display, chipset, good cameras. Moto G30 has a very advanced camera, while Tecno Pova 2 has a wider display and a bigger battery.

Battery phones are an amazing resource for those who spend a lot of time outside. If you live in India and you want to forget your charger at least for two days, you currently have a lot of choices. Among the best and most recent ones, there are Tecno Pova 2 and Redmi 9 Power. They come with huge batteries, but they also feature great specifications if compared to the money asked. Which of these devices should you opt for? Did Transsion do a better job than Xiaomi in their price range? This comparison between Tecno Pova 2 and Redmi 9 Power will highlight the differences between their specifications.

Tecno Pova 2 vs Xiaomi Redmi 9 Power

Design

Do not expect premium materials from these handsets. They are lower-midrange phones and they are both built with a polycarbonate body. I personally prefer the Redmi 9 Power because it has a more compact body and it is easier to use with one hand and to keep in a pocket. Further, it has a pretty good look and its front glass is protected by Corning’s Gorilla Glass 3. These phones come with side-mounted fingerprint readers thanks to which you can authenticate in a comfortable way.

Display

These phones come with similar display specifications. They have an IPS panel with a Full HD+ resolution of 1080p, a standard refresh rate, and no particular certifications to improve the image quality. They are the usual panels you can find on a lower-midrange phone, but they are all but disappointing. They offer a great level of detail and a sufficient image quality for everyone. With the Tecno Pova 2, you get one of the widest displays out there with a diagonal of 6.9 inches: that is why the phone is particularly recommended for those who work or play games. The Redmi 9 Power is more compact thanks to its 6.53-inch screen. Note that Redmi 9 Power features stereo speakers providing better audio quality, while Tecno Pova 2 has a mono speaker.

Specs & Software

The Qualcomm Snapdragon 662 chipset found on the Redmi 9 Power and the MediaTek Helio G85 found on the Tecno Pova 2 are very close in terms of performance. Overall, the Helio G85 is slightly more powerful, but the Snapdragon 662 is built with a better production process (11 nm vs 12 nm) and it should provide a lower energy consumption on the Redmi 9 Power. Further, the Redmi 9 Power has a faster UFS 2.2 native storage in the high-end configuration with 6 GB of RAM and 128 GB of storage. This is also the maxed-out configuration of the Tecno Pova 2, but without the UFS 2.2 technology. While Redmi 9 Power is slightly more interesting in terms of hardware, it still runs Android 10 out of the box, while Tecno Pova 2 is based on Android 11. However, the MIUI 12 is a more advanced Android customization than the HiOS by Tecno.

Camera

Both Redmi 9 Power and Tecno Pova 2 can not be considered camera phones. They have an average 48 MP main camera which provides good quality but it is nothing so special. The Quad-LED flash found on the Tecno Pova 2 allows shooting more visible photos in the dark (especially indoor) and videos can be recorded with resolutions up to 1440p. But for the rest, Redmi 9 Power is more interesting as it features an 8 MP ultrawide camera and a brighter focal aperture for the main sensor.

Battery

Tecno Pova 2 has one of the biggest batteries out there with a capacity of 7000 mAh. But Redmi 9 Power remains an outstanding battery phone with its 6000 mAh battery. Both the handsets support 18W fast charging, but the Redmi 9 Power also supports reverse charging to charge other devices (wired).

Price

Redmi 9 Power and Tecno Pova 2 carry a starting price tag of Rs. 10,999 / $126 in the Indian market. Despite Tecno Pova 2 packs a slightly more powerful chipset, a wider display, and a bigger battery, the Redmi 9 Power looks more interesting due to its stereo speakers, reverse charging, and ultrawide camera. But this might not be everyone’s opinion. Which one would you pick?

Tecno is a brand which is releasing amazing budget phones in the last period. Despite it is not among the main smartphone manufacturer, the brand part of the Transsion group comes up with unique devices providing an incredible quality price ratio. The names of these phones are strange as much as their specifications are awesome. This is a comparison between the specifications of two of the latest budget phones released by the company: Tecno Pova 2 and Tecno Phantom X. The first is one of the best battery phones in the market, while the latter is one of the best affordable camera phones. Through this comparison, you will discover the main differences between these handsets.

Tecno Pova 2 vs Tecno Phantom X

Design

While the Tecno Pova 2 has a cheap design, Tecno Phantom X comes with a premium design which reminds me a lot of the most expensive flagships. It has a curved edge to edge display making the phone very elegant, as well as a glass back protected by Corning’s Gorilla Glass 5. The centrally-placed and rectangle-shaped camera module you can find on the rear side is not exactly the most elegant thing you can get on a phone in 2021, but overall, we can say that this device has a premium and beautiful design. This is helped by the screen to body ratio which is actually very high. The Tecno Pova 2 is made of polycarbonate and it has pretty high dimensions, so it is definitely not the perfect phone for those who love beautiful designs.

Display

The Tecno Phantom X has a very good display for a midrange phone. It is a Super AMOLED panel showing vibrant colors and deep blacks. The display has a Full HD+ resolution of 1080 x 2340 pixels, a diagonal of 6.7 inches, and a 90 Hz refresh rate. Last but not least, it has an in-display fingerprint reader. It is a way better panel than the one found on the Tecno Pova 2, but this device remains very interesting because it has one of the widest displays in the whole smartphone market. Tecno Pova 2 has a diagonal of 6.9 inches: not the dimensions of a tablet but we are not so far from it. Unfortunately, we are talking about an IPS LCD panel with a standard refresh rate, but it is enough for the price. The fingerprint reader of the Tecno Pova 2 is side-mounted.

Specs & Software

If you choose Tecno Phantom X, you also get a better hardware department. The phone is powered by the Helio G95 chipset paired with 8 GB of RAM and a whopping 256 GB of internal storage which you can furtherly expand with a micro SD dedicated slot. Tecno Phantom X is one of the affordable phones with the highest amount of internal storage. Tecno Pova 2 has the lower-end Helio G85 platform, up to 6 GB of RAM and up to 128 GB of internal storage. Unfortunately, none of these phones supports the 5G connectivity. The handsets run Android 11 out of the box, with the HiOS custom skin on top.

Camera

Despite it is just a midrange 4G phone, the camera department of the Tecno Phantom X is very close to the ones of high-end camera phones. On the rear side, it has a 50 MP main sensor with dual pixel and laser autofocus, a 13 MP telephoto sensor with 2x optical zoom, and an 8 MP ultrawide camera. Further, it sports a dual front camera including a 48 MP main sensor and an 8 MP ultrawide camera: this means that Tecno Phantom X is one of the best phones to shoot selfies with. With a 48 MP main camera and three sensors with a 2 MP resolution, Tecno Pova 2 is just a low-end camera phone and it can not compete with its internal rival in any way.

Battery

Tecno Pova 2 has one of the biggest batteries in the whole Android panorama. With a capacity of 7000 mAh, it is able to provide outstanding battery life and it supports fast charging with a power of 18W. Tecno Phantom X still comes with a good 4700 mAh which charges faster with a power of 33W.

Price

Tecno Phantom X will hit the Indian market soon with a starting price tag of around Rs. 18,999, while Tecno Pova 2 is priced at Rs. 13,499. Tecno Phantom X wins this comparison if we only judge the phones by their specs sheets, but Tecno Pova 2 has a very high value for money and it offers a way longer battery life.

• Very wide display
• Huge battery

Under the hood, it is powered by the MediaTek Helio G85 chipset paired with up to 6GB of LPDDR4x RAM and 128GB of onboard storage. It comes with a dedicated microSD card slot for additional storage.

Earlier this week, a TECNO official teased the arrival of the POVA 2 smartphone. This is the successor to the Pova that was launched last year and will arrive with a whopping 7,000mAh battery pack.

On his official Twitter handle, Arijeet Talapatra, the CEO of Transsion Holding‘s India branch (Transsion is also the parent company of TECNO) shared a teaser for the upcoming POVA 2. In an images poster, the executive revealed that the device will be powered by a massive 7,000mAh battery pack, which is likely one of its highlighting features. The teaser also offered us a look at the upcoming smartphone.

At the moment, the POVA 2 is already available in the Philippines and was sold in a single 6GB RAM + 128GB storage variant. It was launched in the region for a price of 7,990 Philippine Peso (roughly 11,820 INR), so we can expect pricing around the same range for the Indian market. Although, it is currently unknown if the device will be launched in India in multiple configurations or with specifications different from its previous Philippine launch.

Although, we have an idea of its specs thanks to the previous launch. On the front, the device sports a 6.9 inch FHD+ LCD display with a punch hole selfie camera. Under the hood, it houses a MediaTek Helio G85 SoC paired with Mali G52 GPU. The rear sports a quad camera, with a 48 megapixel primary camera, 2 megapixel macro shooter, 2 megapixel depth sensor, and another 2 megapixel AI lens.
