Tecno Opens Pova 8 Pre-Orders on Flipkart From ₹30,000 Ahead of June 18 Sales

Summary

  • Flipkart has opened Tecno Pova 8 pre-orders in India at ₹30,000 for 6GB/128GB and ₹32,000 for 8GB/128GB, with open sales starting June 18.
  • The phone’s headline hardware includes an 8,000mAh battery rated for two-day use, 45W charging, a 6.76-inch 144Hz LCD and a 50MP Sony Lytia 600 rear camera.
  • Tecno also adds its Alive Matrix Display inside a dummy rear-lens slot, turning the camera island into a notification and animation panel rather than a purely cosmetic element.
  • The launch pairs those upgrades with trade-offs: the Pova 8 uses a Dimensity 7100 instead of the prior model’s Dimensity 7300 and drops 30W wireless charging.
