Tecno Pova Slim 5G Review : The Tecno Pova Slim 5G is named so because it is very slim and light. When it sat in my hand, it felt like a credit card, but it effectively served as a Phone. Now it is available for around INR 19,999, which raises one big question in one’s mind: Is it worth buying simply because of the elegance that the slimness purveys?
Design and Build Slim and Lightweight
The most striking feature about the device has to be its slimness and weight. The phone can easily be slid into one’s pocket, and the wearer barely feels the load. The phone is made with soft polycarbonate at the back, which may seem inadequate beside such a slim device. The favorite part of the rear panel for customers is the dynamic mood light. It changes according to the energy level and battery consumption. Little things that amuse you, life is worth a try. Tecno did justice in providing military-grade strength to a device so lightweight. Less worrying about bending the bodies, etc.
Display Bright and colorful
The AMOLED display of 6.78 inches on a mobile phone is commendable. In some cases, the scrolling was a bit choppy even at a 144 Hz refresh rate. Nevertheless, the high-pitched brightness of the phone (4500 nits) is welcoming in outdoor use. The colours are really nice looking, and the touch responsiveness is really good. It offers a smooth experience for gaming and everyday use.
Performance is Good for everyday work
The phone comes with a MediaTek Dimensity 6400 chipset, 8GB of RAM, and 128GB of storage. The mobile is convenient for everyday use. Apps load within no time, and multitasking is easy.”Lesser performance in playing games on this phone, however. Light games run fine on it, but heavy games can not run well.

Battery Big battery fast charging
Even being so super sleek, the phone has a battery of 5160mAh that lasts more than sufficient for a day. Even some days of charge may last long the following morning-thanks to its 45W fast charging. One less worrisome issue to think about while manoeuvring batteries in the arena-capacity behind an Achilles heel of many skinny phones.
The camera is Good during the day weak at night
The camera setup can be said to be basic. It has a 50MP main camera, a 2MP depth sensor, and a 13MP front camera. Images during daylight look great, bright, and colorful., But the deeper the dusk, the louder the noise, with a lack of detail. Selfies do good enough on social media but are otherwise not for professional photography.

Software A bit cloudy
The HiOS 15 of Tecno brings many fun elements to the fore, including themes, dynamic wallpapers, and mood lights. It comes pre-loaded with several miscellaneous applications that could be uninstalled. In sum, the software experience is tolerable, but definitely less than perfect.
