TECNO has pulled back the curtain on its new POVA 7 Series. While the lineup features five distinct devices — the POVA 7 Ultra 5G, POVA 7 Pro 5G, POVA 7 5G, POVA Curve 5G, and the standard POVA 7 — it’s the flagship TECNO POVA 7 Ultra 5G that seizes the spotlight.
The Ultra model makes a grand entrance with its “Interstellar Spaceship Design.” Its sleek lines and stark, minimalist purity are punctuated by a signature triangular geometry emblem and an upgraded Mini-LED Status Light that practically dances with customizable visual cues for notifications and calls. But peel back that striking exterior, and you’re met with an expansive 6.78-inch 1.5K AMOLED display. We’re talking a 144Hz refresh rate and 4,500 nits peak brightness — this is a visual playground, engineered for immersive gaming and content consumption, ensuring every pixel pops, even under the harshest Philippine sun.
At its core, the POVA 7 Ultra 5G flexes serious muscle, powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 8350 Ultimate. TECNO’s bold claim of an Antutu benchmark score exceeding 1.53 million is a promise that this phone can comfortably command 120 FPS gameplay in demanding titles like PUBG. Keeping this unit in check is a 12-layer Hyper Cooling System, featuring a substantial 5,300mm² vapor chamber. Translation? Your marathon gaming sessions just got a lot cooler, literally, with device temperatures dropping by up to 3 degrees Celsius.

And then there’s the battery. That persistent, nagging dread of a “low battery” notification? Seemingly eradicated with the Ultra. It packs a large 6,000mAh battery, complemented by 70-watt Ultra Charge tech for fast wired top-ups. But here’s the kicker: It also boasts a segment-leading 30-watt Wireless Fast Charge, cutting the cord on convenience. Plus, with 10-watt Reverse Charge, your smartphone transforms into a portable lifeline, ready to juice up other gadgets in a pinch.
The TECNO POVA 7 Ultra 5G also introduces FreeLink peer-to-peer communication. Imagine this: you’re out on an adventure, completely off-grid, yet you can still make calls and send messages within a 1km range to fellow FreeLink users. For outdoor enthusiasts or in emergency scenarios where cellular signals vanish, this is a genuine game-changer. For an even deeper dive into the gaming experience, the device features 4D Gaming Vibration and dual speakers with Dolby Atmos.

The software, too, has undergone a significant transformation with HiOS 15 Special for the POVA 7 Series. It’s said to be the most substantial OS evolution in POVA’s history, delivering system-wide customization, user-defined icons, fonts, dynamic wallpapers, and a clean, bloat-free interface inspired by neumorphism. It’s about making the phone truly yours, without the unnecessary clutter.
Crucially, the POVA 7 Ultra 5G, along with its siblings in the lineup, fully embraces comprehensive AI integration. The AI Anywhere Portal is your intuitive command center for a suite of AI tools and daily shortcuts. Ask Ella, the dynamic smart assistant, is your new best friend for scheduling tasks, summarizing content, or even identifying unfamiliar landmarks from a quick photo. The AI Full-Link Call Assistant offers AI Call Translation, noise cancellation, auto answer, and call summaries for crystal-clear, multilingual conversations on the fly. Need to whip up some text or proofread an email? AI Writing provides built-in tools. And for visual explorers, Circle to Search lets you simply draw a circle around any on-screen element for instant, relevant results. Finally, AI Studio offers creators with image-editing tools like AIGC Portrait 2.0, AI Eraser, and AI Image Extender.
The TECNO POVA 7 Series is now making its global debut, rolling out across key markets this June. While the POVA Curve 5G has already landed in India, expect the full force of the lineup, including the TECNO POVA 7 Ultra 5G, to hit the Middle East, Southeast Asia, South Asia, and Latin America soon. Locally, TECNO has begun teasing the POVA 7 in the Philippines, with June 22 being the date to circle for its official reveal. We’ll be keeping a close ear to the ground for official pricing and local availability from TECNO Mobile Philippines, so stay tuned.
