TECNO Pouvoir smartphones are a relatively new line-up from TECNO which focuses mainly on battery without also cutting down on other aspects of the device. The TECNO Pouvoir line of smartphones which has only been around for just about 1 year plus comes with great battery backup and is very inexpensive.
Given the electricity situation in the country, this line of TECNO smartphone is obviously the best choice for those who want a hefty battery that can last them through the weekend on moderate use. So far, we’ve only seen 4 TECNO Pouvoir smartphones with all of them packing the signature 5,000mAh battery. Without further ado, let’s right down to the devices.
TECNO Pouvoir 1
Pouvoir 1 as you may or may not have already known is the first Installment in the Pouvoir line. It has a moderate 5.5-inch display which uses the old 16:9 aspect ratio. Both the front-facing 8MP and rear-facing 5MP camera are equipped with an LED flash. No 4G LTE, fingerprint sensor or FaceID here.
It has Mediatek MT6580W Chipset, 1GB of RAM, 16GB of expandable storage and runs Android 7.0 Nougat out of the box. The 5,000mAh battery on the inside of this device is perhaps it’s selling and given that it weighs just 164grams is nothing short of impressive. Colour options available for this device are Dark Black, Spruce Green, Ice Blue and Amber Gold.
