Affordable Tecno Pova 6 Neo 5G features 108MP camera and AI smarts


This April, Tecno unveiled the Pova 6 Neo, a 4G phone with a large battery. Now, the company is launching a 5G model that may bear the same name, but has several notable differences.

The Tecno Pova 6 Neo 5G is powered by the Dimensity 6300. It is paired with 6GB or 8GB of RAM and 128GB or 256GB storage (UFS 2.2). You can double the RAM (up to 16GB) with the virtual RAM option. More importantly, the 5G model has a microSD slot for expanding the storage (the 4G model didn’t have this option).

Another major upgrade – one that Tecno claims is a first for this price segment – is the 108MP camera. The company didn’t reveal which sensor it used, but it says that it offers 3x in-sensor zoom.

Speaking of price segment, the 6/128GB model goes for ₹12,000 ($145/€130), while the 8/256GB one is only slightly more at ₹13,000 ($155/€140). These prices are with a discount of ₹1,000 and you can get an extra ₹1,000 off with an exchange deal. The 4G Neo isn’t available in India, so we can’t do a direct price comparison.

Anyway, the 4G and 5G models can’t be compared directly since there are even more differences. The new 5G model has a smaller 6.67” IPS LCD (120Hz) with only HD+ resolution, compared to the 6.78” 120Hz IPS LCD with FHD+ resolution. The 4G model also has a 50MP camera.

The large 7,000mAh battery that defines the 4G model is gone, as is its 33W charging. Instead, the Pova 6 Neo 5G has a regular 5,000mAh battery with 18W charging. On the plus side, there is now some dust and water resistance with an IP54 rating.

This is fairly rare on cheap phones in India, but this Neo sports “all directional” NFC. The 4G model also has NFC. Both phones have stereo speakers too.

You’d think that the 5G connectivity will be the main talking point about this phone, but no – this is “your new AI BFF”. It has all the AI features that we’ve come to expect, from removing unwanted people and objects from photos to generating images from scratch.
