They are designed to deliver immersive gaming experiences and all-day entertainment.

The POVA 7 Series features 3 devices: POVA 7 Ultra 5G, POVA Curve 5G and POVA 7. Topping the lineup, the interstellar-inspired POVA 7 Ultra 5G brings flagship power with a durable 6000mAh battery, 70W Ultra Charge, and 30W Wireless Fast Charge, powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 8350 Ultimate AI Processor for top-tier gaming performance and multi- tasking efficiency.

Notably, the POVA 7 Ultra 5G achieves series-first integration of 30W Wireless Fast Charge - leading their segment in performance while redefining smartphone aesthetics with a bold, minimalist design philosophy. In addition, the POVA Curve 5G marks the POVA Series’ debut curved screen, combining a futuristic edge-to-edge display with bold performance and elevated style, expanding the POVA family’s appeal to gaming fans and trendsetters.

A Futuristic Statement of Style, Built for the Bold

Introducing an all-new design language for the POVA lineup — bold yet refined, futuristic yet elegantly minimalist — the POVA 7 Series makes a confident visual statement for the next generation. Inspired by “Interstellar Spaceship Design,” the POVA 7 Series stands out with bold, sleek lines and a minimalist, pure style designed to capture the imagination of a new generation of users. Its signature triangular geometry emblem punctuates purity with personality. An upgraded Mini-LED Status Light delivers customizable lighting effects for calls, notifications, and gaming, adding instant feedback for daily use. For immersive viewing, the 6.78" 1.5K Smooth AMOLED Display brings content to life with a 144Hz refresh rate and 4500 nits peak brightness, making it perfect for gaming, scrolling, and streaming under any lighting condition.

The technological progress also seamlessly converges with software revolutions in HiOS 15 Special for POVA 7 Series - marking the most significant OS evolution in POVA's history. For the first time, TECNO introduces system-wide customization with user-defined icons, fonts, and dynamic wallpapers, alongside a clean, bloat-free experience. This major update delivers a uniquely expressive and distraction-free interface, brought to life by neumorphism- inspired design and POVA’s exclusive typeface, setting a new standard for personalization and purity across the TECNO ecosystem.

Completing the vision are custom-designed accessories made to match: a power bank, protective case, and wireless magnetic card, letting users extend their style beyond the screen. Every detail is crafted to complement both form and function, allowing users to express their personal aesthetic while staying powered and protected.

Power Without Limits: Next-Level Gaming and Off-Grid Connectivity

POVA 7 Ultra 5G empowers users to play hard, stream fast, and stay connected — without compromise. Powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 8350 Ultimate 5G processor, the device delivers flagship-level performance with an AnTuTu score surpassing 1.53 million, and easily handles 120 FPS gameplay in titles like PUBG.

Whether in the middle of an intense match or on a remote road trip, the Hyper Cooling System uses 12-layer Cooling Architecture and a 5,300mm² vapor chamber to keep the device cool under pressure, reducing device temperature by up to 3°C for sustained peak performance. A 6000 mAh Durable Battery supported by 70W Ultra Charge, 30 W Wireless Fast Charge, and 10W Reverse Charge banishes “low battery anxiety,” even during long travel days or marathon gaming sessions.

For off-grid adventures and emergencies, the debuting FreeLink feature enables peer-to- peer communication — calls and messages — across a range of up to 1km in signal-free environments. Whether coordinating on a hike, camping in the wild, users stay connected without relying on mobile networks.

Designed for full immersion, POVA 7 Ultra 5G delivers a 4D Gaming Vibration, Dual Speakers with Dolby Atmos, and a suite of customized gaming features, creating an audio-visual experience built for the next generation of mobile gamers and explorers.
