Tecno Pova 6 and Tecno Pova 6 Neo Detailed Description
Here’s a more detailed comparison of the Tecno Pova 6 and Tecno Pova 6 Neo to help you in making your decision:
Display:
- Tecno Pova 6: Compared to the IPS LCD display of the Neo model, the AMOLED display has higher viewing angles, richer colors, and deeper blacks. Additionally, AMOLED screens are typically thought to be more energy-efficient when watching videos or in dark mode.
- Tecno Pova 6 Neo: The IPS LCD panel still has good brightness levels and is suitable for daily use. Viewing angles and color reproduction, however, could not be as good as with the AMOLED choice.
Storage:
- Tecno Pova 6: In addition to the 256GB model, this device also comes with a 128GB storage option, giving users more options. This serves customers who might not require additional storage but value the cheaper price.
- Tecno Pova 6 Neo: Only 256GB of storage, which may be too much for people who don’t keep a lot of media on their phones.
Other Considerations:
- Battery: The Pova 6 comes with a 6000 mAh, non-removable battery, while the Pova 6 Neo features a 7000 mAh battery.
- Charging: Both models support fast charging. The Pova 6 supports 70W wired charging which achieves 50% in 20 min and 100% in 50 min (advertised). The Pova 6 Neo on the other hand features a 33W wired capability.
- Software: Both phones come with Android 14 with Tecno’s HIOS 14 on top. The software features and functionalities should be identical.
- Cameras: Both models have a triple-camera system on the back with a 50MP main sensor and two unspecified secondary sensors. The front-facing camera is also the same at 8MP. Without detailed camera reviews, it’s difficult to say which model performs better in photography.
