Tecno announces Pova 5 with 6,000mAh battery, Free Fire special edition tags along

Today Tecno unveiled the Pova 5 - the first phone in the new Pova 5 series, which will also feature the Pova 5 Pro and Pova Neo 3. There's also a limited Free Fire Special Edition of the Pova 5, in collaboration with the Garena-hosted battle royale game.

The Pova 5 features a futuristic design that Tecno calls Turbo Mecha. The lines resemble the giant robot mecha of popular sci-fi.

The Tecno Pova 5 draws power from a 6,000mAh battery with 45W charging support. The included brick can take the phone to 50% in 21 minutes and to full in 60 minutes. And, if you have some extra battery left, the Pova 5 can reverse-charge other devices via cable up to 10W.

The battery is also backed by Battery Lab 3.0 software for endurance and STS Secure Battery Technology for longevity and peace of mind.

MediaTek's 6nm Helio G99 is at the helm and it comes packaged with 8GB of RAM. The phone features a total of 10,749mm2 heat dissipation area comprised of a 1399.65mm2 vapor chamber, and a 9349.39mm2 graphene heat sink.

The display of the Tecno Pova 5 is a 6.78-inch 1080x24460px IPS LCD of 120Hz refresh rate and 240Hz touch sampling rate.

The Tecno Pova 5 has a 50MP camera on the back, accompanied by a depth sensor, and an 8MP selfie on the front.

There are also niceties like a z-axis linear vibration motor and dual speakers with DTS Sound.

Tecno will offer the Pova 5 in select countries in Hurricane Blue, Amber Gold, and Mecha Black. The price isn't officially announced yet.
