Innovation can surprise you, and the pace of it can also knock you down, 5 years back, did any of us imagine that one day you would be driving a car running on electricity like this BMW iX1 and could be ok with putting your luxury car on a charge like your smartphone every night. Similarly, a smartphone whose back panel could light up could be a designer piece with heavyweight specs, yet inexpensive like the Tecno Pova 6 Pro – another name for innovation. Tesla had started the EV bandwagon long back, but when the German luxury trio of Mercedes, BMW & Audi released their EV tanks, it got world attention.
Looks are deceptive, but a camera takes the right picture
Let’s start with the single front camera setup for selfies and video recording, which features a 32-MP Camera. Just like the BMW iX1, it has the EV boost, producing 313 hp and almost 500 Nm of Torque, making it a fast SUV with a silent cabin. Seats are comfortable with a panoramic sunroof, giving you a feeling of 2X the size. Just like the silhouettes of the Tecno Pova 6 Pro make it look like a costly gadget.
Then we have the imposing Grill of the BMW, and the best part is from the front and far; it can be mistaken for X5 or X3. When zooming in from the 108 MP primary camera shooter, which can pick up the car’s details from far away to read the finer print, you can spot the iX1 from its ICE counterparts. The Tecno Pova 6 Pro has not only 108MP but also 2MP +AI, 3X in-sensor Zoom, 10x total zoom, 2K Time Lapse, Slow Motion, Dual Video, Portrait Mode, Super Night Mode, Film Mode, AR Shot, Pro Mode, Panorama, Documents, Dual Flash,32MP AI Selfie Camera (ƒ/2.2), Dual Tone Flash.
Range Anxiety Vs No Charge Anxiety
A battery pack is the most important thing for an EV, whether it’s a luxury or mass-market model. The BMW iX1 gets a 66.4 kWh battery, giving you a real-world driving range of around 375 km, depending on your driving style. The Tecno Pova 6 Pro has a battery capacity of 6000 mAh and can last you a day or a half, depending on your social media consumption. Let’s compare Range Anxiety with No Charge Anxiety, which happens when smartphones are on the last bar; today, if your smartphone is without juice for even an hour, the feeling is that the world war has broken, and you are unaware of it.
Just like that, when driving an EV, you must constantly keep your eye on the charging indicator; unlike the smartphone, you could be stuck for hours until another EV with V2V charging capabilities or a towing truck comes to your help. The Pova 6 Pro comes with the slimmest Li-Polymer 6000 mAh Battery, 70W Flash Charger, and can juice up to 50% charge in just 19 Minutes. It comes with a 5-year healthy battery warranty. It’s also India’s first 6000 mAh with a 70W flash charger and one of the lightest phones with a 6000 mAh battery.
The tech can come up with a low price tag!
The BMW iX1 gets adaptive headlamps, Level 2 ADAS tech, powered front seats with massage functions, drive modes, adaptive dampers, single pedal driving, dual-zone climate control, 10.25-inch digital cluster, handsfree parking, handsfree tailgate operations and a 10.7-inch touchscreen with inbuilt voice assistant and navigation. Here is the best part: How many of us use built-in navigation? Unless you drive in the Sahara desert with no network, you connect your smartphone and use Google or Apple Maps via Apple CarPlay or Android Auto. The Tecno Pova 6 Pro, with its Mediatek Dimensity 60805G processor, 6nm architecture, Octa-core, 400k+ AnTuTu score, and a weight of only 195g, is very fast to operate on the go.
With IP53 Rating – Water and Dust Resistance, and just like the iX1, even if you drive in icy conditions sub -20°C, the Pova 6 pro can be a smooth taskmaster even at such extreme temperatures. Having Dolby Atmos sound, dual speakers, an Infrared remote control, a Highboost gaming engine, and ample VC cooling enhances the overall performance. Now, the best part, despite having 24GB RAM + 256GB storage, 120Hz AMOLED Display with 20.3:9 screen aspect ratio and ~87.2% screen-to-body ratio, 360Hz Touch Sampling rate along with 1300nits brightness, it can be snatched for less than 20k from Amazon. In the case of the BMW iX1, Amazon won’t be able to swipe your card for around ₹65 Lakhs. To do so, you must step into the nearest BMW store. Now the question remains: if BMW had to launch a smartphone like Tecno Pova 6 pro, would you know what the price for its brand logo on the back of the phone is? Just 3X of it is now around ₹65k mark.
