Overview
- Tecno has launched the Pova 8 in India as the successor to the Pova 7, introducing a dot-matrix Alive Matrix rear panel for notifications and animations.
- The phone packs an 8,000 mAh battery with 45W wired fast charging and 10W reverse charging, and TÜV SÜD testing reportedly showed it can run for two days on a single charge.
- Tecno rates the battery for more than 2,000 cycles at 80% retained capacity, a manufacturer longevity claim supported by the independent lab results.
- Hardware targets gamers with a 6.76-inch 1080p+ IPS panel at 144Hz, expanded cooling graphite, and software tuning for stable high-frame-rate play, while the device uses a MediaTek Dimensity 7100 built on a 6nm process.
- Pricing and retail plans place the phone in the value midrange: a 6GB/128GB model at Rs 29,999 and an 8GB/128GB model at Rs 31,999 with sales through Flipkart, a strategy that could pressure rivals in India that compete on battery life and gaming features.
