La gamme techno pouvoir surtout pour des personnes aimant un téléphone qui ne nécessite pas constamment d'etre entrain de charger le téléphone q tout moment est bonne mais le problème est un peu au niveau de son stockage car au niveau du processeur un téléphone de cette gamme doit avoir un processeur 8 coeurs cadence à 1.3 ou 1.5ghz et au niveau du stockage la mémoire doit être élargi à 32gb contrairement à son prédécesseur le pouvoir 2 pro que l'on disait 16gb mais au fond ce n'est que 10gb et en plus le pouvoir 3 doit venir en deux version vie son prédécesseur en simple 32gb de rom 3 Gb ram et 1.3ghz*8 et la deuxième version la pro 32/64gb rom et 4gb RAM processeur 1.5/2ghz ….toute fois sans n'exclut en rien son autonomie qui est déjà excellente et vraiment continuer comme ça techno…. Merci d'avance je vous aime
I love the battery Capacity and the fact that it support 4G.
The specs for the phone are quite relatively good, throw it on the market please as soon as possible..
When is it coming to the market?
I have the pouvoir 2air its a wonderful phone with strong battery capacity and the 3 can't be less especially with the 4g netwk. Please its a must use for business men in Nigeria.
When is it going to be in the market?
Great product
But I wish it was 3gb Ram
It would have been perfectly off the hook
My pouvoure 2 is better than 3. It has 3gb ram, camera 13mp both primary and secondary. Rom 32 ba3 5000mah so wats d difference?
I think the two phones are the same
yeah actually, but am certain that users wont even know the effects of the Ram
I think my pouvoir 2 pro is still better in all angles than the newly released pouvoir 3
Jus upgraded from 2 pro to pouvoir 3 & l am satisfied. Kudos to Tecno
Same here.. Pouvoir 3 is OK.

this is a new good phone and kudos to tecno for producing good phones with long lasting battery.
when should we be expecting it in the market?
The two difference I can see from 3 and 2pro is the internal memory and the screen size. Aside that. They are both the same. Tecno should give something that will make someone want to spend.

I love the phone,how I wish that it's charging very fast?!
I use pouvour 2pro and with all Av seen from this new 3,the 2pro still remains the best in all the pouvours for now. Imagine 3gb ram, 32 GB internal memory, and pics, while the 3 has nothing up-to this. instead is lower. 2pro still remains the best
Please the pouvoir 3 as far as I know is 32 gb internal storage while the pouvoir 2 pro in the other hand has 16gb and the screen size of the pouvoir 3 is 6.2 while the other is 6.0 and I think that’s the major difference in the two
Demm the phone is nice ohhh
I like this phone and I will like to buy it but I want to understand some few things about the pouvoir 3, what version is it? Secondly how many GB lnternal storage does it have? I was made to understand that the Ram remains the same as the pouvoir 2pro, that is 2gb ram, pls is that equally true? Pls I need candid answers from those that have used or are using the phone.
My own is povoui 2with 3gb ram it better than 3.with smart chaging capacity.

Can the RAM size be upgraded?
Please am using tecno pouvoir 3air but the USB connectivity is not working any help for that
Just got my Pouvoir 3 and feel happy with “her” … OH! The 5k Amp battery! Plus the FM radio working without the earphones. Only limitation is the transfer of certain files directly from my laptop: obligé d’utiliser une clé USB comme taxi par câble OTG.
But the camera isn’t good enough
Did anybody has idea of the phone price of the pouvior 3?
