      They should release the Tecno Pova 5 Pro with Mediatek Dimensity 5G SoC. Raise the price, yes. They should. Because the G9X Series of Chips needs to retire. Mediatek needs to release something like, the G100 series, a high performance 4G SoC because most 5G infrastructure is pretty much hardy exists in South and Southeast Asia.

        I think gaming phone should at least be able to handle FORTNITE type games at 30, 60, 120 FPS smoothly.
        Otherwise any gaming phone is just marketing stunt.
        If anyone want to play PUBG or FREE FIRE type games then don't need to buy gaming phone untill you are playing for large prize poo,l full with real world money.

The fact that I can run a heavier game like Genshin on this G99 smoothly makes me think you can actually call this "a budget gaming phone".

                  Gaming phone would be when it has something like SD778 or 870 and then cameras with low end to get the cost down to that point this is now.

                    Tecno pova 3 were when I really interested on tecno phones, this pova 5 looks awesome on the design especially the black variant!

I am the one who live in where infinix and tecno's market are, but not too interested to their collaboration with that particular game. Yet, it's worth mentioning that their device is usually being tuned to perform well for that particular game they have collaboration with, so perhaps it's perfect for people who wants to buy a gaming phone on a budget.

                            Nice overall improvement from Tecno Pova 4 and this isn't even the Pro version.

                              Hmm.. POVA 5 looks like a more affordable version of the Infinix NOTE 30 4G (X6833B), just uses their almost the same chassis but with a big battery capacity and some improvements over the POVA 4 series.

                              How wondering how Helio G99s should we take, and that cost is a bit lower, and it will take much lower cost until 2025.

                                Tecno with Free Fire, Infinix with MLBB, does collab with popular mobile games in Asia actually work to increase their sales? I'm curious.

                                  If this doesn't have a gyro, how can this be called a battle royale phone that really needs it.

                                      I mean, if you're not interested in the design, or the screen size, simply just don't buy it!

                                      Also, the big design allow the device to bring such gigantic battery which is something desirable for few people.

                                        this price slightly better than realme 10 4G if they offer under $200
