TECNO just dropped the POVA Curve 5G in the Philippines, and for once, “curve” isn’t just hype, it’s real, sleek, and seriously thin at 7.45 mm, with a curved display and back that make it feel even slimmer in the hand.
The POVA Curve brings a 6.78‑inch FHD+ AMOLED display with 144 Hz refresh, 1,300 nits peak brightness, and curved “starship” design vibes, not your usual entry‑level handset.
Under the hood is a MediaTek Dimensity 7300 Ultimate, matched with 8 GB RAM and 256 GB storage, backed by a 5,500 mAh battery plus 45 W fast charging.
Local SRP stands at ₱13,999, but early birds get it as low as ₱8,999 during the August 7–8 Shopee pre‑order window, bonus? A free Unli‑PUBG SIM included.
The POVA Curve isn’t just another budget phone, it’s a design and performance flex that dares to stand out.
