Tecno has entered the spotlight again with its new Pova Curve 5G, a stylish and feature-packed smartphone designed for budget-conscious users who don’t want to compromise on gaming and performance.
Eye-Catching Curved Display
The phone sports a sleek and immersive 6.78-inch curved AMOLED display with a 144Hz refresh rate, 1300 nits brightness, and Gorilla Glass 5 protection. With a thickness of just 7.45mm, the device looks and feels premium, although the sharp curves might not be comfortable for prolonged gaming sessions.
Built for Power Users
Under the hood, the Pova Curve 5G is powered by MediaTek’s Dimensity 7300 Ultimate chipset built on a 4nm process. Coupled with 6GB/8GB RAM and 128GB UFS 2.2 storage, it delivers smooth multitasking and gaming. However, there’s no microSD card slot, so users will be limited to internal storage.
In real-world performance, the phone scored nearly 675,000 on AnTuTu, making it capable of handling demanding games like BGMI at Smooth + Extreme settings (around 87fps) and Call of Duty Mobile with stable performance and good thermal control.
Long Battery Life & Fast Charging
With a 5,500mAh battery, the device offers solid all-day usage. It supports 45W fast charging, taking the battery from 0 to 100% in approximately 45 minutes—perfect for users on the go.
AI Cameras & Dolby Sound
- Rear camera: 64MP main + 2MP depth
- Front camera: 13MP selfie shooter with 4K video support
- Audio: Dual stereo speakers enhanced with Dolby Atmos deliver a richer sound experience.
Smart Software Experience
Running on Android 15 with HiOS 15, the interface is smoother and visually cleaner. It still comes with some pre-installed apps, but the major highlight is the inclusion of Ella AI Assistant. This assistant supports several Indian languages and offers features like:
- AI voice commands
- Real-time call translation
- Background noise suppression
- AI image tools (eraser, enhancer, and wallpaper generator)
Key Limitations
- No expandable storage
- Only one major Android update and two years of security patches
- Sharp screen edges may affect long-term hand comfort
Final Thoughts
For under ₹17,000 (~$190), the Tecno Pova Curve 5G offers a rare combination of style and performance. Whether you’re a gamer, content consumer, or just need an everyday 5G phone with AI smarts and fast charging, this device delivers excellent value—despite its limited software update support.
