When it comes to battery, many of us prefer something big and massive. In Nigeria, power is one of the major problems facing everyone. So buying a phone with up to 7000 mA battery capacity is the dream of everyone.

When it comes to Tecno, we have some devices from the brand that bring in a massive battery capacity under the hood. Below, we will be looking at Tecno Pova 3 that comes with a whole 7000 mAh battery underneath it.

Tecno Pova 3 Review: Massive Battery For Long Gaming Sessions

Gaming on a smartphone can be quite draining on the battery, forcing users to juggle between charging and playing. Tecno aims to solve this problem with the Pova 3, packing in a massive 7000mAh cell. But is this all the phone has to offer gamers in Nigeria? Let’s take a deeper look.

Design

The Pova 3 features a stylish design with a matte-finished back and gently curved edges for a comfortable hold. It’s available in Electrifying Blue and Midnight Black colors. Build quality is good for a mid-ranger with the phone feeling sturdy. At 221g, it’s on the heavier side though, a tradeoff of the bigger battery. The side-mounted fingerprint sensor and triple slot make for a clutter-free look.

Display

Upfront is a 6.9-inch FHD+ IPS LCD screen with a 90Hz refresh rate. The large real estate is ideal for gaming or media consumption. Colors appear vibrant and the high refresh rate makes animations buttery smooth. Maximum brightness is adequate outdoors. There’s Corning Gorilla Glass protection against scratches too.

Performance

Powering the device is MediaTek’s G88 processor paired with 6GB RAM. In gaming benchmarks, it managed decent scores, enough for flawless gameplay in popular titles. The RAM can also be expanded up to 7GB using Memory Fusion tech to multi-task between games and apps easily. Storage is 128GB which is expandable.

Massive Battery

The true star of the show is undoubtedly the 7000mAh battery. Tecno claims it can deliver up to 3 full days of power on a single charge even with heavy gaming. In our tests playing graphic-intensive games for hours continuously drained it to only around 60% indicating excellent longevity. It also supports 33W fast charging to fully charge in under 2 hours.

Extreme Gaming

To enhance the gaming experience, the Pova 3 comes with features like a Z-Axis linear motor for feedback, dual speakers with DTS tuning, and a Panther Game 2.0 engine. The 90Hz screen and powerful processor work together delivering buttery smooth graphics. Gamers can track performance stats using the Game Space tool and optimize settings.

Cameras

For photography duties, there’s a triple rear camera setup of 50MP main, 2MP depth, and an AI lens. Images came out with good details and colors in ample lighting. Portrait shots had a nice bokeh effect. It can also record crisp 4K videos at 30fps. For selfies, an 8MP front camera is present.

OS & Features

The phone runs HiOS 8.6 based on Android 12 right out of the box. It’s clutter-free with added customizations. Other notable features include 4G connectivity, face unlock, OTG support, and a micro SD slot for storage expansion up to 1TB. WiFi, Bluetooth, and GPS connectivity worked well.

Verdict

Priced around ₦100,000, the Tecno Pova 3 provides incredible value for your money. Its huge 7000mAh battery, 90Hz display, and gaming optimizations make it an absolute beast meant for long gaming marathons. Add to that 33W charging and good overall specs, the phone delivers seamlessly without any lags or heating issues during gameplay. Definitely recommended for mobile gamers looking for performance at an affordable price point in Nigeria.
