Overview
- TECNO launched the Pova 8 in India on Thursday and priced it at ₹29,999 for 6GB/128GB and ₹31,999 for 8GB/128GB, with sales planned through Flipkart.
- The handset packs an 8,000mAh cell with 45W wired fast charging and 10W reverse charging, and TECNO removed the previous model’s 30W wireless charging.
- Independent TÜV SÜD testing reported at launch found the battery can provide about two days of use on a single charge and retain at least 80% capacity after more than 2,000 cycles.
- The Pova 8 adds a customisable Alive Matrix rear dot‑matrix display (104 LEDs) for notifications and animations, and ships with a clear case, 45W charger, and HiOS 16 on Android 16.
- Under the hood is a MediaTek Dimensity 7100 (6nm) paired with LPDDR5X RAM and UFS 2.2 storage, plus a large graphite/vapor cooling area tuned to sustain high-frame gameplay, reflecting deliberate trade‑offs that favor battery endurance over higher-end process nodes or wireless charging.
