Camon 19 Pro 5G vs Pova 5G; which is the best 5G phone from Tecno
Tecno announced her first 5G smartphone, the POVA 5G back in December of 2021. Fast forward to the mid of May 2022, the company introduced her second 5G smartphone; the Camon 19 Pro 5G. For now, if you are looking for a 5G Tecno smartphone , your choice is limited to these two. But which should you choose?
Well, before you start reading through the specs table, let me help make some things clear. If you are looking for raw power, both CPU and battery wise, the POVA 5G takes the win. But if you are looking for class, modern design and camera prowess, the Camon 19 Pro 5G is the winner, plus it has the latest OS too.
