Tecno has just dropped its latest 5G offering in India, the Pova Curve 5G, and it’s bringing both style and stamina to the budget segment. Priced from ₹15,999, the phone features a bold, Starship-inspired design, a massive 5,500mAh battery with 45W fast charging, and a smooth 144Hz curved AMOLED display, all packed into a surprisingly slim 7.45mm frame.
The phone arrives in two storage options and three eye-catching colours, built to offer solid performance while turning heads, that too without burning a hole in your wallet.
Unboxing the Tecno Pova Curve 5G: What’s in the box?
The Pova Curve 5G keeps things neat and practical when it comes to the unboxing. Inside, you get the essentials: the handset, a transparent protective case, a USB-C to USB-A charging cable, a 45W charger, SIM ejector pin, and some paperwork to get you started.
We got our hands on the Magic Silver variant, and it looks like something out of a sci-fi film. With its glossy curved back and unique Starship design elements, this one doesn’t blend in but rather stands out. At 7.45mm thin, it also takes the crown as India’s slimmest curved smartphone to pack a 5,500mAh battery.
Curved AMOLED display and futuristic finish
The phone flaunts a 6.78-inch FHD+ curved AMOLED screen with a 144Hz refresh rate, up to 1,300 nits peak brightness, and Gorilla Glass 5 on top. Its 55° curve enhances the premium feel, while the 93.8% screen-to-body ratio offers an immersive viewing experience. Plus, it supports touch input even with wet fingers, which is a handy feature that’s often overlooked.
Performance, cameras, and AI features
Under the hood is the MediaTek Dimensity 7300 Ultimate chip, paired with up to 8GB of RAM and 128GB of storage. Users can expand RAM virtually up to 16GB. It also comes with Tecno’s AI assistant Ella, offering voice controls and smart call-handling features.
Photography is handled by a 64MP Sony IMX682 primary camera, with a 13MP front-facing shooter for selfies and video calls.
The 5,500mAh battery supports 45W fast charging, filling up 50% in 15 minutes and fully charging in 45. It’s TÜV Rheinland certified for 1,800+ charge cycles, which means it’s built to last.
Colour options and price in India
You can pick the Tecno Pova Curve 5G in Magic Silver, Neon Cyan, or Geek Black. The 6GB+128GB model is priced at ₹15,999 and will be available via Flipkart. The 8GB+128GB variant comes in at ₹16,999 and hits offline stores starting June 5.
