The Tecno Pova 5 Pro emerges with a revamped Mecha design, taking inspiration from Nothing Phone’s glowing LEDs, but with a distinctive gaming aesthetic. Emphasizing gaming performance, the Pro model is an upgraded version of its vanilla counterpart.
A Visual Delight for Gamers
The device features a 6.78-inch IPS LCD with a 1080p resolution and an impressive 120Hz refresh rate. This display is a gamer’s dream, offering the potential for 120 fps in games like Free Fire and PUBG. However, achieving such high frame rates might require tweaking the settings. To ensure optimal cooling during intense gaming sessions, the phone integrates a spacious 2,820mm² vapor chamber and a 12,979mm² heat dissipation area.
Illuminating Back Design
One of the standout features is the LED strips on the back that can light up in various colors to convey notifications, incoming calls, low battery warnings, and even in-game actions. This unique visual aspect adds a touch of flair to the gaming experience.
Powerful Performance and Software
Under the hood, the Pova 5 Pro boasts an upgraded Dimensity 6080 chip, manufactured using TSMC’s 6nm process. This chipset replaces the Helio G99 found in the regular Pova 5, providing enhanced computing power, especially with its Mali-G52 MC2 GPU. The phone comes with 8 GB of RAM, expandable by an additional 8 GB of virtual RAM, resulting in an impressive total of 16 GB of memory. Moreover, the device offers substantial storage space with 256 GB.
Capture Memories and Moments
The camera setup on the Pova 5 Pro resembles that of the Tecno Pova 5, featuring a 50MP main sensor paired with a secondary depth camera. This powerful combination allows for capturing 1080p and 2K videos at 30 FPS. For selfies, the phone sports an 8MP lens, delivering clear 1080p video clips.
Battery and Fast Charging
Although the battery capacity has been reduced to 5,000 mAh from 6,000 mAh, the Tecno Pova 5 Pro compensates with rapid 68W wired charging. In just 15 minutes, the phone can charge up to 50%. Additionally, Tecno has implemented Bypass Charge, enabling direct power supply from an outlet while gaming. This smart feature reduces heat and battery wear during extended gaming sessions.
Price and Availability
As for pricing and availability, specific details are yet to be disclosed. However, like its standard variant, the Pova 5 Pro will also be offered in a limited Free Fire edition, catering to gaming enthusiasts.
