Tecno Pova 3 is the latest release from Tecno Mobile.

This is the successor of last year’s Tecno Pova 2 which was one of the smartphones to watch for less than Rs 25,000 as the phone offered a mammoth 7,000 mAh battery, a huge 6.9-inch display and a 48MP quad-camera setup. The newly launched Tecno Pova 3 offers similar specifications but in a better way. In particular, it has a new design, a faster-charging feature, better camera performance and also has a reverse charging mode too that might fare well in the Nepali market once the phone arrives here.
