Transsion Electronics’ Tecno has officially launched the all-new Tecno Pova Neo smartphone in the Indian market. The smartphone has the same specs as the previously launched Nigerian model, but on top of that, it comes at a cheaper price in the Indian region.

The Tecno Pova Neo costs Rs 12,999(~$174) for the sole 6GB RAM and 128GB storage variant in India. This is slightly cheaper than the ~$177 price tag of the phone in Nigeria.

The phone comes in Obsidian Black, Geek Blue, and Power Black color variants. The device will go on sale from January 22 via authorized retail stores in India. Interestingly, those who buy the phone in the initial sale will get a free pair of the Tecno Free earbuds worth Rs 1,499.

Inside, it is powered by the MediaTek Helio G25 SoC paired with 6GB of LPDDR4x RAM and 128GB of eMMC 5.1 internal storage.

Chinese phone maker TECNO has scheduled to launch the TECNO POVA Neo smartphone on January 20 in India. But, now, ahead of its launch, the smartphone is already available for purchase on Mahesh Telecom at a budget price.

Mahesh Telecom is a retail store in India and it is offering the device for a price of Rs 12,999(~$174). Interestingly, this isn’t any unauthentic listing, rather the teaser poster tweeted by the retail store’s Twitter handle seems to be a legit one. It also reveals some of its features. We also get to know its color variants – Black and Blue.

The poster reveals the phone’s configuration – 6GB RAM and 128GB storage, which we expect to be the sole variant in the country. The smartphone also has RAM expansion support of up to 11GB. It basically has 5GB of virtual RAM support on top of the 6GB original RAM making it a total of 11GB. This is something similar to the Realme 9i, which arrived in India today.

In terms of its specs, the phone was already launched in Nigeria, and we can expect the same model to arrive in India. The smartphone has a 6.8-inch IPS LCD display with an HD+(1640 x 720 pixels) resolution and 120Hz refresh rate.

At the helm, it is powered by the MediaTek Helio G25 SoC and has a big 6,000mAh battery. The battery has an 18W fast charging support via the USB Type-C port. The device features a 13MP primary camera and an 8MP selfie lens. It has a side-facing fingerprint scanner and boots on HiOS 7.6 based on Android 11 out of the box.
