Tecno Mobile is busy rolling out smartphones after smartphones after smartphones these days. The latest to go official comes from its POVA series.
(Update, December 15: The Tecno POVA Neo is now available in the Philippines!)
The Tecno POVA Neo has debuted in Nigeria with a suggested retail price of ₦72,500 (around P8,944 or $177) for the 4GB/64GB model. And an official listing we at Revü have seen on Lazada Philippines indicates that the new handset — with 6GB of RAM and 128GB of storage, though — will become available in Geek Blue and Powehi Black here soon. The price shown on the e-commerce platform is just a placeholder, so we’d have to wait for that to be updated. We’ll keep you posted, of course.

The Tecno POVA Neo is an entry-level phone, as can be gleaned from the MediaTek Helio P22 chip it’s using. And if you’re just after a starter phone that has a massive battery and a big screen, then this POVA might be for you. It boasts a 6,000mAh cell that supports 18 watts of fast charging, which Tecno claims lets you play a game up to 17 hours, for one. It also features a display that spans 6.8 inches.
You can check out the rest of its specs below. Now, if only we have news about the Tecno POVA 5G, said to be the brand’s first 5G phone.
