Summary

  • Tecno’s new Pova 8 centers on an 8,000mAh battery rated for two-day use, 2,000-plus charge cycles and 10W reverse charging.
  • 45W wired charging takes the phone from 1% to 50% in 35 minutes, but the Pova 7’s 30W wireless charging support has been dropped.
  • Dimensity 7100 powers the device with 8GB LPDDR5X RAM and 256GB UFS 2.2 storage; Tecno says it can sustain 90fps gameplay in titles such as Honor of Kings.
  • A 50MP Sony Lytia 600 rear camera shares the triangular module with the new Alive Matrix Display, while the 6.76-inch 144Hz 1080p+ IPS screen replaces the prior model’s panel.
  • The Android 16-based phone keeps IP64 protection and will ship in four colors, extending Tecno’s performance-focused Pova lineup after its India debut report a day earlier.
