This time Tecno is going to bring its Pova series to the Indian market and most interestingly it could be a powerful gaming mobile. The Pova 8 Pro 5G model has now been spotted on the IMEI database recently. This usually happens very close to the launch, so it seems that the phone is not long in coming.
PassionateGeekz has reported in their exclusive report that the model number of Tecno Pova 8 Pro 5G LK7 has been listed on the IMEI database. Such listings usually happen when the phone goes into the final stage of production.
Certification and Database Listings
Not only IMEI, the standard model (LK6) of the Pova 8 series has already been seen in the Bluetooth SIG certification. Apart from this, some information has also been leaked on Geekbench where the Dimensity 7100 chipset and Android 16 have been mentioned. All these listings suggest that Tecno has now fully prepared the Pova 8 series for launch.
Tecno Pova 8 Pro 5G Specifications (Rumours)
The Pova series has always come with a large battery and gaming focus. So the Pova 8 Pro 5G is also very likely to have a 6000mAh battery. The processor may be MediaTek Dimensity 7100 or a chipset close to it, which may be good for gaming.
Based on early listings, the Pova 8 Pro 5G could focus heavily on gaming performance. Likely featuring a Dimensity 7100 series chipset paired with a high refresh rate AMOLED display. The camera section may have a 50MP or above main sensor. The cooling system is also expected according to the previous specifications of the Pova series. However, everything has not been officially confirmed yet, so these are still at the stage of possibility.
Expected India Launch Timeline
There has been no official announcement about the launch in India yet. However, Tecno’s Pova series usually comes to India within 1-2 months after the MWC or China launch. So late April or first week of May we can see the Pova 8 Pro 5G.
Expected Price Range
In terms of price, the Pova series is usually in the mid-range. The price of the Pova 8 Pro 5G in India is estimated to be between ₹25,000 to ₹30,000. However, until the phone is officially announced, it is a bit difficult to get accurate information about it.
Overall, the Tecno Pova 8 Pro 5G looks like another gaming-focused smartphone in the making. If Tecno gets the pricing right and delivers solid performance, it could attract a lot of budget gamers in India. However, it’s best to wait for official confirmation in the coming weeks.
