TECNO Mobile Philippines has officially teased the arrival of its latest midrange powerhouse, the TECNO POVA 7 Ultra 70. Announced via Facebook 73, the post used the device’s photo with the hashtag POVA7Series.

For optics, it has a 108MP main paired with an 8MP ultrawide. The camera island stands out, surrounded by LED lighting and a geometric pattern. At the front users will get a 13MP selfie shooter.
Other features include its stereo speakers with Dolby Atmos, 30W wireless charging, and 10W reverse charging support. It will ship with HiOS based on Android 15, which includes TECNO’s AI Suite. This includes AI Writing, AI Studio Tools, and more.

I dont know what Tecno Mobile is doing with their marketing strategy
with regards to POVA 7 models but it seems they are trying to compete
with mid to hi end models from other brands but in a “not so competitive”
price and does not fit the majority of low class and low-to-middle class
Filipinos that POVA 7 was designed for. Its kinda weird releasing an ultra
version, why not release the BASE 5G MODEL (no ULTRA, no PRO
LABEL) just the Pova 7 5G? It would give them much better appreciation
(possibility of buying) to majority of Pinoys as compared to ultra and pro
models.
Based on topics and responses in different social media i came across
with many are waiting for the base spec POVA 7 5G. One persistent
reason why is because majority of pinoys are after for the 5G capability,
given the price of the POVA’s previous models, pinoys are now aware of
its quality to price ratio including its camera and other features and now
they’ve made it more pricier with the extra features of AI, etc. IMO,
many pinoys under that class aren’t interested of using that new features
or utilizing it to the extent that it will be apart of their daily fone usage.
Camera yes, gaming yes, aside from that two im not sure, I hope Tecno
Mobile PH can read this and would reconsider releasing the base Pova 7
5G (no ULTRA, no PRO) just Pova 7 5G, ive seen its specs in GSM Arena
and the unboxing video, honestly the screen is much better than the
PRO ultra (more sharper corners) not iphone like, much larger and most
of al fast enough for gaming and reliable for 5G connectivity as far as
internet is concerned.
Hey Tecno Mobile PH, take it from those people from social media who
are commenting and waiting for the base 5G version of Pova 7.
Release it asap, it will yield you better profits and sales. Dont capitalize
on the “AI bandwagon”. POVA model targets those class of Pinoys
mentioned above and they dont fit the “narrative” you are doing with the
Pova 7 lineup now.

I think it’s 6.67 Amoled. Not 6.78.
