Just a week after teasing their arrival, TECNO has officially revealed pricing for the POVA 6 and POVA 6 NEO in the Philippines. Following the trend set by the Dimensity 6080-based TECNO POVA 6 Pro 5G, both phones arrive at competitive prices and boast MediaTek processors under the hood.

The TECNO POVA 6 comes in at a discounted price of P7,990 (roughly $136 converted) on Lazada, while the even more budget-conscious TECNO POVA 6 NEO snags an introductory price of P6,479 (around $110) on Shopee. Early adopters of the NEO model will even score a free selfie stick valued at P300 ($5) for the first 900 purchases. Both devices have 8GB of RAM and a generous 256GB of built-in storage.

While the two smartphones share a similar 6.78-inch FHD+ display with a smooth 120Hz refresh rate, there are key differences in the camera department and battery capacity. The POVA 6 NEO packs a mammoth 7,000mAh battery — ideal for marathon gaming sessions, long commutes, or road trips.

However, if mobile photography is your game, the POVA 6 boasts a more impressive camera setup, featuring a 108-megapixel main image sensor and a 32-megapixel front-facing camera for selfies. The POVA 6 NEO scales back on megapixels with a 50-megapixel rear shooter and an 8-megapixel selfie shooter.

Ultimately, the choice boils down to priorities. Gamers and power users will likely gravitate towards the NEO version’s seemingly endless battery life. Content creators and photography enthusiasts, on the other hand, might find the POVA 6’s superior cameras more appealing.

Rounding out the specs, both handsets are powered by a 6nm MediaTek Helio G99 4G chipset and run the brand’s HIOS 14 custom skin based on Android 14. They also boast dual speakers with Dolby Atmos tuning for an immersive audio experience. You can follow TECNO Philippines’ Facebook page for updates.
