Design of the phone
When it comes to the design of the Pouvoir 2, it doesn’t come with anything outside of what you will get with most other Tecno phones. However, when you consider its price, the phone is one that stands out from the crowd entirely.
Not only does it look appealing, but it is also designed to last a long time as a result of the polycarbonate material used in its build. Behind the phone, you will find your rear camera as well as a little flashlight and a fingerprint which are all at the center-top of the phone. At the front, you will find the selfie camera and a flashlight as well.
Considering the size of the display, it is quite large, even though it is not as broad as some may prefer.
Memory and Storage
To the memory of the phone, it gets interesting to realize that for a piece that is this affordable, the Pouvoir 2 comes with a RAM of 3GB, which is something that many others that are more expensive do not even come close to. With that said, you can count on the phone to be very excellent in terms of multitasking since it offers that much in terms of RAM.
For the storage, it offers the 16GB ROM that you get with most other phones today. While that is quite good, the only issue that we have is that it give expandability of only 32GB. For a phone with all the specs of this, one would expect to get much more than that.
To the processor of the phone, the Quad-core 1.3 GHz, MediaTek chipset that it features may not necessarily change your world, but there is no reason for one to believe it will not function effectively and give a good processing speed.
Camera Performance
To the camera performance of the Pouvoir 2, while we will not give it any additional points, nothing will also be taken. This is because it has a 13 MP rear camera and an 8 MP camera at the front, something that has now become the norm with most phones, even those that are slightly cheaper.
However, you will definitely give it some points because of the dual flashlight it affords both at the front and rear so that whether you want to snap pictures in the dark or you want to take selfies, you can achieve that. More so, the images are always great even when in a low light situation.
Connectivity and Security
The Pouvoir 2 is a dual-SIM phone that offers a 4G LTE Connectivity while it also has a v4.2 with A2DP Bluetooth. Of course, it also has Wi-Fi Hotspot and WLAN.
In terms of security features, there is no denying the fact that Tecno has done a great job with the Pouvoir 2 considering the fact that it has multiple security features including the normal screen lock pattern. Others it features are the fingerprint that allows you to setup up to five fingerprints, face unlock, and then the smart lock. What this means is that you have multi-layered security for your phone.
Battery Life
One of the main strengths of the Tecno LA7 apart from its affordability is its battery life. If you consider phones such as the Tecno Camon X, Tecno Camon X Pro, and even the Tecno Camon 11 Pro which are all more expensive and with better specs, you will find out that none of them is able to offer a battery with up to 4000 mAh as they all only stop at 3,750mAh.

Giving as much as 5000 mAh, this does not only beat it, but it also gives you what many others cannot give. According to Tecno, the phone will be able to take you for up to six days or 72 hours between charges. That, however, is only possible when you do not put it to heavy use. That said, even when you use it that much, you will find out that the battery is still able to stand its ground for a long time.
Pros
- Excellent battery performance
- The security features you get are very useful.
- Another very important thing with the phone is that it is very affordable even with all it offers.
Cons
- It doesn’t have the best of storage.
Verdict
This is the one we are recommending for someone who is looking to have a phone that is very affordable and at the same time with very good features such as a great memory and processor. More so, the best thing about this is that the phone is that the battery is very strong, so if you need a good battery, this will be the one for you.
