I just put it at max and it's okay, still i hope the next gen pova 4 would have a better brightness. As for the audio, the dual speakers work fine for me, i actually like it.

... moreThe brutal honesty i'd take! Cheers! Though i cannot comment yet about sd card since i can't even reach occupying atleast 20gb of my storage so idk if i'll be able to use such one day :) and btw, launcher does its job, but honestly, it isn't the good looking one imho, no! Just no! Nova however, solved my eyesore on the launcher. Thanks man!
P.s. you go to every phone pages with similar or close to pova 3's price, you'll see how complaints are everywhere, lol!

sorry to say, but both sides are too extremes here i think, there are valid points on both sides. So I'll attempt to make an impartial review, fwiw.
Firstly i think the harsh critic from the dude you all latch upon is that, too harsh. TP3 isn't garbage but definitely is not without its flaws. And merits too. Secondly imo you guys wear pink tinted glasses, no offense.
The good: impressive construction for the price. The unit feels solid, above its price point, and doesnt feel cheap in hand, far from it. Button and rocker feel sturdy too, no complains here. Of course then the impossibly long battery life, which is nothing but a winner. Ive had experience with 13 pro max, and honestly, it's close. Seriously. They did a very impressive job here. Another good point: android 12! dunno if there'll be frequent updates and all, but it's already that. One feels safer having the latest os version. Good stuff. Charger in the box! TECNO thankfully avoids the scam perpetrated by the bigshot companies. Environment my ass. The case included is a nice touch too. While its not a lightning fast phone, it does its job at everyday stuff well enough. It does get warm quickly enough, but nothing beyond that unless you push it. Nothing major. And while software side has its downside (see below), it hasnt crashed on me. Thing seems solid in that area too. So definitely far from a piece of garbage, Im test driving it day to day, and so far its close to being a joy to use. Not my daily driver yet, but getting there eventually I think. Calls are clear, though the ear speaker could be louder. Launcher is ok, nothing exceptional, but it does the job well and i dont intend to change it. All in all, well worth its price and more.
The bad: sorry for you guys defending the unit at all costs, but it does have its fair share of problems, the sd card failures first indeed. I experienced it myself, and apparently nothing can cure that. Im talking large storage here, like the guy said equal or above 512. They will get corrupt if you put lots of stuff on them. That, I verified, and I asked carlcare support if the unit supports 512 cards, they said yes. So its definitely a bug. The screen, now. While it's large and comfy, it veers toward blue big time. Everything kind of has a blue tint to it. Which leads me to, software. While android 12 is good news, TECNO's take on it is very lacking in parts. No options in the settings for color temperature etc. Hello? 2022? Hello, TECNO? Same, no more settings for apps that should go full screen, and those that don't. Very lame. Why?
Another thing, Im a huge music lstener. If you intend to listen to music with that, do disable the music, ahem, "enhencements" options. You'll be glad you did, they all suck. A shame the DTS stuff cannot be disabled as well. But if you fiddle a bit with the equalizer, its resonably competent. Not great, but not horrible either. A thing of note is that regularly enough (thru bluetooth) the sound volume will get quite lower for half a second or so, then get back to what it was. Never found why so far.
Also on the software side: no matter what settings you apply, unrestricted etc., the damn thing WILL kill background apps in due time. GSAM comes to mind. This is silly. Even Huawei does better, lol.
Another thing: Im a huge netflix eater too, and from time to time, when you go to the app and want to launch the streaming, it just hangs. As if it couldn't communicate with the servers anymore. Weird. Only a reboot will cure it. Im not experiencing that on any other machine I use. I guess some streaming background service stops working, cause it also blocks Disney+ etc from resuming. Annoying. Could be fixed with sw updates but not holding my breath.
Lastly, carlcare support. OMG. The less said the better. Ive known bots that were smarter, lol.
So there you have it fwiw. So dude, relax and breath, it ain't a turd or garbage. But it ain't the best thing since sliced bread either. And yeah it does some things bad that it's supposed to do well, sorry. Saying so doesn't mean one expects a S22U ;)))) One would like the thing to work as advertised, no more no less, I guess. Its just a couple of things that can be showstoppers, but annoying enough, in particular the sd card stuff.
Flame at will, lolllll

Ok let me share my honest take on this phone coz i just feel like other people are so biased on how they hate it.
Pros:
-good rear camera( not flagship quality but clear enough details)
-good processor(social media, light gaming)
-outstanding battery life! The main reason i bought this!
-the price, it's cheaper than my a21s when i bought it so yes! It's a value already.
Cons:
-brightness is lacking, not so super bright but not that dark either. I just noticed it isn't as bright like my samsung a21s.
-front camera is just average, but enough that your selfies and video calls aren't that pixelated like other webcams.
Tecno though advertised it like it's something else but every brand does that so do some research, watch youtube and website reviews before buying a device. For me? This phone is a great buy already! And that's for me. I don't expect too much from it coz i know the limitations of my phones.

Ok guys! So anyone thinking this is a good buy to heavy users, think again! This isn't an rog phone ffs! Look at its price! Be wise enough! You've seen opinions here that the phone performs enough for a casual user. They aren't being fanboys but being honest as to how you treat and expect from this phone. Don't expect your budget to feed your expectations! All good performing phones don't come at a cheap price!!! Come on!! If you see one, then go buy it and forget this! Don't be stupid enough to buy this and regret because it did not meet your standards. Others are satisfied, others are not just contented. That's it.

Anonymous, 18 Jul 2022Shall i buy this or not???Backread to the users' experience and think if you're a would-be user like us that doesn't demand too much from the device. It isn't that bright and front cam is average. The rest, from light gaming, social media, rear camera and battery life, it is superb! For its price, it's already a value for money except that one guy named zarof who thinks he bought a s22 ultra at a super bargain price, lol!
