[ 02 · June 2021 · ARCHIVE ]

Seven thousand. The number that stuck.

POVA 2 lifted the cell to seven thousand mAh and pushed the screen to 1080p — moves the segment chased for two years after.

[ 02 / Lineage ]

Where this sat in the line.

POVA 2 shipped in June 2021 — eight months after the first. The 7000 mAh figure became the line's calling-card spec for two years; the move from 720p to 1080p was the first time POVA shipped a screen the segment had been asking for. The chipset (Helio G85) was the same family, the chassis still polycarbonate, the colour Energy Blue.

[ 03 / Where the line went next ]

What it set up.

The seven-thousand number anchored the line through 2022. The 1080p panel became standard from this point forward. POVA 3 carried both decisions; POVA 4 was skipped in India; the line picked up again at POVA 5 with the move to a properly-finished chassis.
