TECNO Pouvoir 4 (3GB/32GB)
For roughly the same price as the Galaxy A20 costs, TECNO Pouvoir 4 brings the same RAM and storage configuration – 3GB and 32GB respectively. But it adds a much bigger 7-inch display and a much bigger 6000mAh battery to the fight. You will have to be patient topping up that battery though, as it lacks any form of fast charging.
The processor is a Mediatek Helio A22 (12 nm) job. At the rear is a 13-MP quad camera with quad-LED flash, while in front is an 8MP selfie camera. When it comes to software, it is up-to-date with Android 10 and TECNO’s own HiOS. You can pick up this Samsung Galaxy A20 alternative from stores for ₦52,000.
