TECNO Pouvoir 2 First Impressions

The Pouvoir 2 shares similar chocolate-like look as seen in the PhonePad 3, it runs on Android 8.1 Oreo based on TECNO’s HIOS v3.3.0 custom UI.

There are two ways to view its list of apps menu, a single launcher and a Standard launcher. The single launcher shows apps from A-Z as seen in the Camon X and X Pro, while switching to the standard launcher shows applications in the regular Android way we are all familiar with. To switch, tap and hold down on a blank space on the home screen and select Desktop setting, among the sub-menu you find the launcher option.

TECNO Pouvoir 2 retails for N46,000 and you can buy from Jumia here.
