An uncommon twist for the Pova 6 Pro 5G is that it is a mid-range phone with a host of entertainment features, including mobile gaming optimizations, Dolby Atmos, and support for HiRes Audio, including wireless high-resolution audio playback.
The phone has a 6.78-inch FHD+ AMOLED screen with 2,436 x 1,080-pixel resolution, 100% DCI-P3 wide color gamut, and a fast 120Hz refresh rate suitable for gaming. I found the screen’s colors looked vibrant, with deep blacks and crisp edges.
For gaming, the Pova 6 Pro 5G has several optimizations. It can deliver in-game “4D vibrations” thanks to its Z-axis linear motor and gyroscope. The “4D Vibration Sense” feature is jointly certified by “PUBG” and Tencent Lab. And it has six control modes for use with e-sports gaming.
The handset has a new cooling system designed with gaming in mind. Dubbed the “Pova SuperCooled System 1.0,” the phone uses a phase-change thermal gel, a heatsink, and graphite material that supports conducting 1,700 watts. I never experienced the phone overheating during gaming, but once, on a warm day, my camera use caused the phone to overheat.
Finally, Tecno includes its own Game Space 4.0 gaming control panel for scheduling GPU usage, touch control, and switching among three power modes depending on the type you’re playing. Once you’re in the game, the panel monitors the phone’s RAM, ROM, GPU, CPU, network, power, and temperature conditions and sends alerts if usage exceeds safety parameters. You can unlock higher-frame-rate graphics if available for a specific game.
