Tecno Pova Curve 2 5G

The curved AMOLED panel combines a fluid 144 Hz refresh rate with 4500-nit peak brightness, keeping motion smooth and outdoor visibility strong. Its 1080x2364 resolution is less sharp than the 1.5K panels many rivals offer.

The 8000 mAh battery is exceptionally large and lasts about 15 hours 13 minutes in testing. It comfortably handles a long day of intensive use and can stretch further with lighter workloads.

Stereo speakers complement the large 6.78-inch screen for videos and games. An infrared blaster also provides convenient control of compatible home appliances.

The 50 MP f/1.7 main camera lacks optical stabilisation, while the secondary 2 MP camera adds little practical versatility. There is no ultrawide or optical zoom camera, and video stops below 4K.

About 740,000 on AnTuTu is below what many similarly priced phones manage. The 8 GB of RAM is adequate for everyday multitasking, but demanding games will require reduced settings.

UFS 2.2 storage is slower than rivals use at this price, affecting large app installations and file transfers. The 45 W charging takes about 65 minutes from 20% to full, which feels lengthy for such a large battery.

Wireless charging and NFC are both missing, so charging remains cable-only and tap-to-pay support is restricted. The IP64 protection handles dust and splashes but falls short of full water resistance.
