Which should you buy, the Tecno Pova or Huawei Mate 20 Pro? We offer a thorough comparison of the differences in functions, specifications and performance between the two

Your device's size has a huge influence on how easy it is to hold or to operate with one hand. The smaller your device's width, the easier it will be to hold, but you'll also need to take device thickness into account. And when the length and width are both smaller, you'll find that it's much easier for you to operate it one-handed, since your fingers will find it much easier to reach where you want them to. On the other hand, longer lengths and wider widths might lead to devices that are hard to carry in your pocket, bulky even when you keep them in your bag, and all around less portable.

The Tecno Pova is 3.1 inches (77.6 mm) wide, 6.7 inches (171.2 mm) tall, and 0.4 inches (9.4 mm) thick. The Huawei Mate 20 Pro is 2.8 inches (72.3 mm) tall, 6.2 inches (157.8 mm) wide, and 0.3 inches (8.6 mm) thick.

The Huawei Mate 20 Pro is also more compact than the Tecno Pova in terms of the thickness of the devices. The Huawei Mate 20 Pro is easier than the Tecno Pova to hold with one hand, and you are less likely to accidentally drop it. If you're looking for a smartphone that fits nicely in your hand and can be gripped firmly, we recommend buying the Huawei Mate 20 Pro rather than the Tecno Pova.

Comparing the width and height of the main unit, the Huawei Mate 20 Pro is smaller and more compact than the Tecno Pova. As a result, the Huawei Mate 20 Pro is easier to operate with one hand and it is more portable without getting in your way than the Tecno Pova. Therefore, the Huawei Mate 20 Pro is recommended.

Comparing the overall size of the main unit, the Huawei Mate 20 Pro is smaller than the Tecno Pova. As a result, it is easier to use the Huawei Mate 20 Pro with one hand compared to the Tecno Pova, and its size makes it more comfortable to carry around. For this reason, the Huawei Mate 20 Pro is recommended.

The device weight will effect how quickly you tire from holding it, and how much stress is put on your wrist. The lighter it is, the longer you can hold it without feeling tired. Also, less stress on your wrist will make using it easier and more pleasant. Unless the weight is right for you, it might put too much strain on your body and make using it more stressful.

Screen size influences how well you can control your device, as well as how clear the display is. With a large screen, the text and buttons in apps will display large enough so you'll be less likely to accidentally tap the button next to the one you were aiming for. Plus, you'll be able to enjoy more high-impact visuals for games and movies.

The screen size on the Tecno Pova is 6.8 inch, and 6.39 inch on the Huawei Mate 20 Pro. The screens of the Tecno Pova and Huawei Mate 20 Pro are roughly the same size, and so the ease of pressing app buttons are the same on both devices. Because of this, it is better to compare them based on other aspects of performance and function.

Pixel density influences how nice your device's screen looks, with high pixel densities making screens look more beautiful, and letting you get more out of your games and movies. Plus, the nicer you screen looks, the less strain you'll be putting on your eyes, so you'll tend to be able to use your device for longer before your eyes get tired.

The screen on the Tecno Pova has a 720 x 1640 resolution and a pixel density of 263 ppi. The Huawei Mate 20 Pro, on the other hand, has a screen resolution of 1440 x 3120 and a pixel density of 537 ppi. Comparing the screen definition, the Huawei Mate 20 Pro has a much higher pixel density than the Tecno Pova, with a difference of about 274 ppi. The screen on the Huawei Mate 20 Pro is clear and crisp, and puts less strain on the eyes than that of the Tecno Pova. If you want to choose a smartphone that is gentle on your eyes with a display that shows text and images clearly, we recommend that you buy the Huawei Mate 20 Pro rather than the Tecno Pova.

Battery performance has a big effect on the battery life of your device. However, a high battery capacity doesn't necessarily mean a long battery life. Rather, the rate of power consumption needs to be taken into consideration as well. The larger the screen and the higher the CPU performance, the higher the rate of power consumption on your battery.

Your CPU's speed will influence the processing power of the applications you run, and together with the number of cores in the CPU, as well as its clock frequency, will determine the processing power available for apps. The higher these performance factors, the smoother your games and apps will run. Conversely, if these factors are too low, your apps and games will be sluggish and struggle to run.

The Tecno Pova is equipped with a Mediatek Helio G80 processor, and its performance speed is 2.0GHz+1.8GHz×8(OctaCore). The Huawei Mate 20 Pro uses an HiSilicon Kirin 980 CPU that performs at a speed of 2.6GHz+1.92GHz+1.8GHz×8(OctaCore). There is also no real discrepancy between the CPU performances of the Tecno Pova and Huawei Mate 20 Pro. Because of this, both phones will feel practically identical in terms of smoothness when running apps and ease of game play. This is why it is better to compare them based on other aspects of performance and function.

Your device's multimedia performance and app stability are both influenced by the amount of memory it has available. The more memory, the more apps you can use simultaneously, while keeping everything stable and smooth. Plus, there'll be less chance of animations lagging or apps crashing. You also need to keep in mind that some games won't run at all if there's not enough memory available.

The Tecno Pova has 6GB of memory. The Huawei Mate 20 Pro, on the other hand, has 8GB. Memory performance is roughly the same for both the Tecno Pova and Huawei Mate 20 Pro; as a result, multitasking, playing 3D games, and using VR feels the same on both devices. Because of this, it is better to compare them based on other aspects of performance and function.

Storage capacity determines the amount of data you'll be able to save on your device. The more storage you have, the more photos you can take and the more apps you can install. Plus, if your smartphone is compatible with SD cards, then you can increase the amount of available storage. However, SD cards have a slower writespeed, making them less desirable in terms of performance, and users should be aware that it won't be possible to transfer all kinds of data to the card.

The Tecno Pova has 128GB of storage, while the Huawei Mate 20 Pro has 256GB. There is no real difference between the Tecno PovaandHuawei Mate 20 Pro's ROMs and storage capacities, so both can store roughly the same amount of photographs and apps. Because of this, it is better to compare them based on other aspects of performance and function.

One factor in how well your rear camera (the camera on the back of your device) performs is its megapixel count. With a higher megapixel count, you'll be able to take photos with sharper detail, photos that stay clear and sharp even when printed.

The main camera on the Tecno Pova has 13 MP. The Huawei Mate 20 Pro has 40 MP. The rear-facing camera of the Huawei Mate 20 Pro also has a higher pixel count than the Tecno Pova, with a difference of about 27 MP. The Huawei Mate 20 Pro is more capable than the Tecno Pova of taking high-definition photos and videos, and produces better results when printing out the photos you have taken. If you want a smartphone that is designed for video and photography, we recommend buying the Huawei Mate 20 Pro rather than the Tecno Pova.

One indication of how well your forward facing camera (the camera on the same side as your device's screen) performs is how many megapixels it has. More megapixels means you'll be able to take photos with sharper detail, that still look amazing printed out.

The forward-facing camera on the Tecno Pova has a resolution of 8 MP. The Huawei Mate 20 Pro's has 24 MP. The front-facing camera of the Huawei Mate 20 Pro has a significantly higher number of pixels than the Tecno Pova, with a difference of about 16 MP. Therefore, the Huawei Mate 20 Pro is more suitable for taking photos and videos than the Tecno Pova. If you want to take and print high-quality selfies, we recommend buying the Huawei Mate 20 Pro rather than the Tecno Pova.
