Under the hood, it shares the same chipset, the MediaTek Helio G99 coupled with 8GB RAM and 256GB storage.
It also draws power from a 6000mAh battery with support for 45W fast charging and 10W reverse charging. This is supported by Battery Lab 3.0 software for endurance and STS Secure Battery technology to aid with longevity.

TECNO Mobile has yet to reveal the pricing for the TECNO Pova 5 but it has confirmed that it will be coming to Southeast Asia, the Middle East, and Latin America.
The Pova 5 may likely arrive in the Philippines as its predecessors were also introduced here. If it does make it here, we expect it to maintain a sub-PHP 10,000 price tag.
The company also revealed the Pova Neo 3 which brings a 6.82-inch IPS LCD panel with a HD+ panel and a MediaTek Helio G85 coupled with 4/8GB RAM and 128GB storage. Additionally, it has a 16MP main rear camera and an 8MP front sensor. But the main highlight of the device is the massive 7000mAh battery.
Ram found his love and appreciation for writing in 2015 having started in the gaming and esports sphere for GG Network. He would then transition to focus more on the world of tech which has also began his journey into learning more about this world. That said though, he still has the mentality of "as long as it works" for his personal gadgets.
