TECNO POVA 3 previewed on Amazon India: Check expected price
What's the story
TECNO is gearing up to introduce POVA 3 as its latest smartphone in India. In the latest development, Amazon has activated a microsite for the handset, revealing its design and key specifications. The India-specific model will seemingly have a similar set of specifications and features as the model that had debuted last month in the Philippines.

Why does this story matter?
TECNO is aggressively expanding its presence in the Indian as well as the global smartphone market. The POVA 3 is an interesting package. It comes with a massive 7,000mAh battery, virtual RAM, a high refresh rate screen, and triple rear cameras. However, the two-year-old MediaTek chipset may turn off buyers. In India, the POVA 3 will rival budget offerings from Samsung, OPPO, and Motorola.
