Tecno Pova Curve 5G is official – 7.5mm slim, 5,500mAh battery, AI for days

It’s official – the Tecno Pova Curve 5G is here and it’s India’s slimmest (7.5mm) curved phone with a 5,500mAh battery! The curvature? It’s 55°, which Tecno says makes the in-hand feel futuristic.

The Tecno Pova Curve comes in three colors – Magic Silver, Neon Cyan, and Geek Black. Unlike Povas of old, we don’t see any light-up LEDs on the back, sadly.

Upfront sits a 6.78-inch 1080p AMOLED with a 144Hz refresh rate and 1,300 nits of peak brightness. Tecno has achieved a 93.8% screen-to-body ratio.

Inside ticks a 4nm Dimensity 7300 Ultimate, paired with either 6 GB or 8 GB of RAM and 128 GB storage.

The battery is 5,500mAh, as we said, and it takes 45W wired charging. Tecno says its pack has TÜV Rheinland Long Range Certification for over 1,800 charging cycles. The phone claims 50% in just 15 minutes and 100% in 45 minutes.

Camera-wise, the Pova Curve 5G has a 64MP 1/1.73-inch Sony IMX682 wide-angle camera (and a 2MP depth sensor).

A final word on the hardware – Tecno has focused on the connectivity of the Pova Curve, ensuring a strong signal, wherever you may find yourself. The Pova Curve 5G has a solid all-around 86.5% antenna coverage, VoWiFi Dual Pass, and real-time signal optimization.

Tecno has equipped the Pova Curve 5G with Ella AI and claims it’s the segment’s first AI with Indian language support. Users get AI Voiceprint Suppression – aka voice calls noise reduction – AI Auto Call Answering, AI Call Assistant with live translations and post-call summaries (including WhatsApp calls), and No Network Communication for connectivity in low or no signal areas (Tecno hasn’t clarified how this works).
