Why does this story matter?
TECNO is aggressively expanding in the Indian market and the POVA 3 smartphone seems like a perfect device for it. It offers good looks, exciting features, and a long-lasting battery. However, the two-year-old MediaTek processor may turn off customers. The handset is likely to be priced competitively here and will take on affordable offerings from Samsung, Motorola, and OPPO.

It will be up for grabs in Electric Blue, Tech Silver, and Eco Black color options.
