I bought the $100 "FUFFI" POVO 5 PRO from AliExpress - An Honest WELCOME Device? (iWish)

Timestamps are integrated into the video for each segment.
I filmed way too much footage for this device so if you need to skip through the video then that's completely understandable!
======================================================
Greetings and welcome to another installment in the iWish series, a series in which I purchase various questionable products to see if they are any good...most of the time they are not but I buy this stuff so you don't have to!
I was on a live stream not too long ago and we found this while I was browsing AliExpress and you folks donated towards seeing this so I thank you all so much for that. I hope it was worth it!
I've seen this "FUFFI" brand all over AliExpress recently...but are FUFFI any good though?
Well we have a knockoff Tecno Pova 5 Pro called the "POVO 5 PRO" for only $105 AUD that claims to have 4GB and 64GB with a MediaTek 8 Core Processor...for $105 AUD I was not expecting this to have what it had inside of it.
As always, stick with reputable manufacturers and not these generic things off AliExpress!
Get relaxed, have a drink by your side and a bowl of snacks and let us look at this FUFFI phone and add the brand to the list of brands that are funny.

[@russotusso1695]

It's not surprising tho, they are trying to fool people who already know Tecno phones are cheap. They are hoping they will see "oh a cheap phone, looks like Tecno, I know they are cheap so must be legit"

the mention of "freeme" in the set fake data page is interesting, since freeme os is basically the generic "other" rom for cheap no name phones in china, global users get basically aosp but the china freeme experience is cursed, ads everywhere, hijacked browser and app stores, and in general, a very cursed os.

[@hyperturbotechnomike]

To be a true "Fuffi", it's price must be 50€, otherwise the name is a lie. At 100€ it's a "Hunni". At least, i hope it doesn't lie about the "tecno" part, otherwise i won't start raving about.

ahh yes... a "WELCOME" device also tecno, infinix and itel is also popular in the Philippines and maybe Indonesia due to Mobile Legends: Bang Bang

I'm a bit gobsmacked. The camera has some good point but that jelly video had me thinking if my meds were spiked. Lol. As soon as you see go versions of apps you know it has 2gb of ram or less. Lol Did like the screen. And has a decent sperker lol 😂 Fun but I'm wondering what we are going to get in a few years when left over stuff gets rebranded. 🤔

[@rchltmedia]

Mito is a indonesian brand. in the past, they produce a lot of telecommunications stuff. now they moved to home appliances. i have one mito-branded electric oven.

16:24 I have that same OTG, but it's made in China and can not recognize External USB Storage. It can only detect Mouse/Keyboard, which it's really cheap for a reason. You can find products that higher cost and kinda like shape little longer/bigger

[@tigersusyt]

the swipe from side is copying huawei (the animation thingy at least)

[@SugnessBaw]

19:14 actually C to C chargers do work with it but it seems like if your cables too fast or has any voltage difference it will not work I have a Bluetooth speaker with a USB type like this and if I use a cable that's any higher than 5 volt 2.5 amps it will not charge this is to protect the device from overcharging or charging too fast with a cheap battery

[@retsamyar]

thought maybe a video idea for ya is to grab one or two of the main tablets that the US gov is paying like 130 usd for as part of the ACP program for people and see what these phone companies are claiming is a value of 130 or something.. i think most offer Vortex CMG101 for the low low price of 135usd.

[@Davidelium]

One thing you should do is go out and use the Welcome GPS. You will have a lot to say about their phones. I used one for a year so I know from experience . It should be added to your reviews

[@Mizu14.]

15:12 as someone who uses a tecno phone, it IS looking really like HiOS.

[@user-yn2dl2zh2z]

on 30:44 Mito is actually an Indonesian brand if i remember (pls comment if im right or wrong)... back then they making cheap/budget android but now they gone for a while now... i presume if this "Povo 5 Pro" is only a recycled older phone with newer hardware (probably) and new design...

The legit Tecno also has another brand in the family, it is "Infinix". They share similar OS, and they are good phones with reasonable price (aim to market in budget phone branches). And they are quite popular in Southeast Asia market. The info might not be 100% correct, but it is what I've known.

[@lancergt1000]

Yep, what you said is 100% true, but they also have a 3rd brand called *iTel* who sells at an even lower price bracket than Tecno & Infinix (Even if Itel sounds like a rude word in Java, the most populated island in SEA)

Sound is very weak, even with besloudness on, battery life is so-so, it can sometimes go for 2 days in standby. But shuts off randomly, battery is horrible, cameras? Ahm, 1. Washed out, low-res. About 1.3mpx actually, both front and back. led flash is barely working. It runs android 8.1 says its running 9. Really bad choice of a phone. The redmi 13c is way better for nearly the same price.

wow i can't believe it have 3gb of ram, good job welcome, good job! even tho the performance were quite shitty tbh. i like the back (well copied back) and the decent screen (kind of) they put on it. still, get a low end samsung or a oppo/realme/motorola or reputable brand instead of this, since it's way better (and with real cameras). 5/10 for the effort at least.
