Tecno Pova Neo 2

OhoPrice editorial review

Our Take: The Tecno Pova Neo 2 at 34,999 PKR has one standout feature that no other phone in this price range can match: a massive 7,000 mAh battery. For context, this is 2,000 mAh more than most competitors and can realistically deliver two to three days of moderate use between charges. The Helio G85 processor with 4 GB of RAM handles everyday tasks adequately, and the 6.82-inch HD+ display is large enough for comfortable video viewing, though the 263 PPI resolution means text is not particularly sharp. The dual 16 MP + 2 MP rear camera is serviceable in daylight, but the lack of a dedicated ultrawide or telephoto lens limits creative photography. At 9.63 mm thick, this is one of the bulkier phones in this segment, which is the physical trade-off for that enormous battery. This phone is ideal for buyers who need extreme battery endurance, such as frequent travellers, outdoor workers, or anyone tired of nightly charging. The Sego S25 at 29,999 PKR offers a more conventional design with a slimmer body and a 50 MP main camera that captures more detail than the Pova Neo 2's 16 MP unit. However, the Sego's 5,000 mAh battery is 2,000 mAh smaller, which is a significant difference for users who prioritise endurance. The Sego's Helio G91 is slightly newer than the G85, but performance differences are marginal in real-world use. Both phones offer 4 GB of RAM and 128 GB of storage. The Pova Neo 2's bulk is its main drawback: at 9.63 mm thick, it feels substantially larger in a pocket than the Sego. For buyers who need multi-day battery life above all else, the Tecno Pova Neo 2 is unmatched; for those who prefer a slimmer phone with better camera hardware, the Sego S25 is the lighter, more photography-friendly alternative. PTA Note: Tecno Pova series phones are popular in Pakistan and are usually PTA-approved, but always verify the IMEI on the PTA website.
