Gaming and battery champion in a single body? That’s what TECNO POVA 6 Neo represents.
At 7K, you can find smartphone models marketed as “gaming phones” but we all know that real gaming phones are far more expensive than that. So, why does TECNO POVA 6 Neo aim at gaming all-day at 7K? Let’s find out!
The gaming experience is provided by the MediaTek Helio G99 Ultimate, one of the few chipsets with acceptable performance among 4G models. The chipset alone still scores over 410K AnTuTu points.
You can do light to moderate gaming with the correct in-game graphics tweaks. Most MOBAs and FPS titles will run on the TECNO POVA 6 Neo.
To enjoy these games, the handset comes with a large 6.78-inch IPS LCD screen. That supports 1080p and 120 Hz refresh rate, a combination still uncommon among affordable devices.
Augmenting those specs with stereo speakers and a 3.5 mm headphone jack, your senses will surely be entertained during gaming. But not obvious to many, the phone’s battery plays a major role in its everyday usage.
It’s rare to find a model with a 7,000 mAh battery at this price point. Not to mention, it supports 33 W of fast charging. TECNO may have limited the device to 4G but the brand certainly considered its battery life.
So, is the all-day gaming on the TECNO POVA 6 Neo really worth 7K? At 7,000 mAh capacity, you can get almost half a day of mobile gaming in one full charge. Your hands and eyes will be sore before you know it.
Despite the lack of bypass charging out of the box, the handset is too tanky for you to endure in a single sitting. Even if you manage to consume that battery level, the 33 W fast charging will juice it up in no time.
