UD Why: TECNO POVA 6 Pro 5G, a reliable gaming phone for PHP 12K?

Play your favorite action games nonstop with the enduring stamina of the TECNO POVA 6 Pro 5G.

The TECNO POVA 6 Pro 5G is one of the affordable gaming phones in the market today. At 12K SRP, you can surely enjoy your favorite titles for hours on end. But can every gaming title on this device? Let’s find out!

Tucked under the cyber mecha exterior design is the MediaTek Dimensity 6080, responsible for the smartphone’s overall performance and 5G experience. Multitasking is handled by the hefty onboard 12 GB RAM while files are stored in the 256 GB ROM. Did the CPU remind you of another POVA?

The TECNO POVA 6 Pro 5G sports a big 6.78-inch AMOLED panel with 1080p resolution and 120 Hz refresh rate. Blacks and color accuracy are guaranteed but is 1080p enough for the screen size?

Helping you capture every moment scenes are three rear cameras in a 108 + 2 + 0.08 MP configuration and a 32 MP lens at the front. While shooting at 4K isn’t possible, you can record at 2K with 30 FPS. Does the front and back dual-LED flash make up for it?

All-day performance is possible with the tanky 6,000 mAh battery and 70 W rapid charging. You can even charge other devices with the TECNO POVA 6 Pro 5G via 10 W reverse wired charging. But is the lack of wireless charging a major downside?

So, is the TECNO POVA 6 Pro 5G a reliable gaming phone at 12K? It depends on the user. The price is arguable because it justifies the AMOLED panel but not the processor, making it a tradeoff.

The Dimensity 6080 can only dish out around 430K points on AnTuTu and it’s the same processor as the predecessor, TECNO POVA 5 Pro 5G

The Unisoc T820, older than D6080, can still score over 500K points and it’s powering the TECNO SPARK 20 Pro 5G and nubia Neo 2 5G, both under 10K.
