Tecno has finally launched the Pova 8 Pro 5G in India. The smartphone focuses on practical hardware additions, specifically a larger-than-average battery, high water resistance ratings, and a secondary screen on the back panel.
Tecno Pova 8 Pro 5G Specifications
The device has a 6.78-inch 1.5K AMOLED screen with a 144Hz refresh rate. It uses 2592Hz PWM dimming, which is intended to reduce screen flicker in low-light environments, and is protected by Corning Gorilla Glass 7i. The phone also carries IP68, IP69, and IP69K ratings, meaning it is tested to withstand dust, standard water submersion, and high-pressure water jets.
Inside, the phone runs on a 4nm MediaTek Dimensity 7400 Ultimate processor. Tecno has also included a secondary graphics chip to help maintain frame rates in supported mobile games. The device uses LPDDR5X RAM and UFS 2.2 storage, and is available in two configurations: a base model with 8GB of RAM and 256GB of storage, and a higher-tier version with 12GB of RAM and 512GB of storage.
The battery is a 6,500mAh cell, which offers more capacity than the 5,000mAh standard found in most current smartphones. It supports 45W wired charging and 10W wired reverse charging. It also includes bypass charging, a feature that allows the phone to draw power directly from the charging cable during heavy use, bypassing the battery to reduce heat generation.
For cameras, the main shooter uses a 50-megapixel Sony LYTIA 700C sensor with OIS. This is paired with an 8-megapixel ultra-wide camera on the back and a 13-megapixel camera on the front. Both the front and rear cameras support 4K video recording at 30fps.
The phone ships with Android 16. It includes a few built-in software tools, such as an AI call assistant capable of recording and transcribing both standard cellular calls and WhatsApp calls. The assistant supports English, Hindi, Bengali, and Marathi. It can generate text summaries of conversations, extract action items, and categorize contacts based on the context of the call.
The back of the phone features a triangular camera layout and what Tecno calls the Alive Matrix Display. This is a small dot-matrix screen made of 177 Mini LEDs. It is designed to show basic information like battery status, timers, and caller ID. It can also function as a desk clock when the phone is placed face down on a table.
