The last time we saw a Pova series phone was the Tecno Pova 2, which was launched in June 2021. However, this Tecno phone is not a replacement or upgrade for the Pova 2 as it is more of an entry level phone. If you are looking for an upgrade, you go for the Pova 5G, at least it adds 5G connectivity with some improvement in performance.
