TECNO, one of the main dictators in Africa’s smartphone ecosystem, is here with another smartphone called the TECNO Pouvoir 2 Air. It comes as another iteration of the successful TECNO Pouvoir 2.
Asides the Pouvoir 2, there are also the TECNO Pouvoir 2 Pro and TECNO Pouvoir 2 Gold. And like its predecessors, it houses Oreo OS, 5,000mAh battery and a 6-inch IPS screen. However, there are little differences between this Air edition and the other three devices.
For now, let’s find out more about the smartphone.
TECNO Pouvoir 2 Air Quick Review
The TECNO Pouvoir series is built on the backbone of extreme power availability. Pouvoir 2 Air follows that same direction with its 5,000mAh battery. While there are a few power banks out there with 3,500mAh, 4,500mAh and all, this phone delivers more capacity. To this end, the phone can be used to charge other devices using the USB OTG.
Truly, the battery segment isn’t an issue, so also is the display department. At least, to an extent. A six-inch IPS screen with 18:9 aspect ratio is the chief cornerstone of the phone’s display. Then, resolution of 720 x 1440 inches sorts out the crispness and sharpness of its output.
MediaTek MT6580 chipset powers the phone from the core. It does that with support from Quad-core 1.3GHz CPU and 1GB RAM. About the RAM size, that will discussed later on. Also on the SoC, the Mali-400 GPU -graphics handler- is present.
Concerning the RAM size, the Android Oreo Go Edition makes it very much efficient. In this light, there are a few instances of the phone lagging. Go Apps such as Gmail Go, YouTube Go, Google Go and more reduce the amount of app data consumed by the RAM.
A 16GB internal memory sees to the storage of files on the device. It can be aggrandised to 32GB if a MicroSD card is employed. Sadly, no 4G LTE network standard is on board. For photo freaks, 13MP rear and 5ML front cameras are available to capture interesting images. There’s a LED flash attached to the smartphone camera on both sides.
