TECNO POVA Neo inclusions

We have a slim box here and as we open it up, there's the phone right away. Then let’s remove the plastic. What we have here is in the Obsidian Black color but there’s also a Geek Blue and Powehi (Po-Veh-Hee) color available. 

Oh, by the way, it also has a pre-installed screen protector which is a plus.

Meanwhile, for other things in the box, there's the FREE clear case, the manuals and warranty, the SIM ejector tool, earphones, power adapter, and the micro USB cable.

That's everything.

As of the moment

The screen of POVA Neo

For now, we enjoyed that the device has a large 6.8-inch HD+ display paired with a big 6,000mAh battery that allowed us to enjoy viewing things on a bigger screen for a long number of hours.

According to TECNO, this is the smartphone for "everyday heroes" like delivery riders, teachers, nurses, and more, among others. It is said to be a device that is full of power making it a reliable partner.

As for the price, the unit that we have is the 4GB + 64GB variant and it’s priced at PHP 5,999. Meanwhile, the 6GB + 128GB version is available for PHP 6,999.

We will find out soon in our full review if what they are saying is correct and if it is worth your hard-earned cash.

Of course, we will also check its other capabilities including the cameras, displays, and many more.

And that’s it for now. We’ll be using this more so stay tuned for our full review.
