Questions people ask
What model number is the Pova?
A real Tecno Pova reports TECNO LD7 or TECNO LD7J. In Chrome, Phone Checker reads it from the phone itself, so a copy can't hide behind Settings.
How much RAM does the Pova have?
At least 4 GB in the smallest version sold. A copy often has less, whatever its Settings say.
Which Android versions does the Pova run?
It came with Android 10. A version older than 10 means a different phone.
How do I know if my Pova is original?
Open ogphonechecker.com on the phone itself and tap Check this phone. In about 20 seconds it compares the model code, graphics chip, RAM and screen with a real Pova, for free.
