Mediatek Helio G99 (6nm)Chipset 8GB RAM, 256GB ROMRAM & Storage 50 MP, (wide), PDAFRear Camera Li-Po 6000 mAh, non-removable batteryBattery

Battery life is the headline here. A 6000mAh cell backed by 45W wired charging means you can get to 50% in about 21 minutes, useful if you're the type who forgets to charge overnight. That capacity comes with some weight, though, at 219.4g. The Helio G99 chipset paired with 8GB RAM and 256GB storage handles everyday multitasking fine, and the 6.78-inch IPS LCD runs at 120Hz for smoother scrolling than you'd expect at this price.

TECNO POVA 5 price in Malaysia starts from RM659, which puts it squarely in budget territory. The 50MP main camera with PDAF covers standard daylight shots, though the 0.08MP auxiliary lens is more of a depth-sensing add-on than a real second camera. An 8MP front camera handles selfies and video calls.

NFC, a side-mounted fingerprint sensor, stereo speakers and a 3.5mm jack with 24-bit/192kHz audio round out the package. It's running Android 13 with HIOS 13 on top, and comes in Mecha Black, Amber Gold or Hurricane Blue.
