TECNO Pouvoir 4 & Pouvoir 4 Pro

TECNO Pouvoir 4 series succeeds the Pouvoir 3 series from last year, and this time, instead of 3 devices, there are two – TECNO Pouvoir 4 Pro and the regular TECNO Pouvoir 4 (referred to from here as the non Pro version). And surprisingly, there is a huge world of a difference between them. The TECNO Pouvoir 4 Pro has a more powerful processor and chipset, larger storage and RAM, and higher specified cameras. The Pouvoir 4 is also a part of the TECNO Android 11 Developer Preview Program.
