Launch Timeline and Availability
Tecno Pova Slim 5G will go on sale in India on September 4, 2025, at 2 pm IST. The company’s pricing has not yet been revealed, but a microsite on Flipkart is already live, which is hinting at some of its features and specifications. This suggests that the phone will go on sale through the online shopping website when released.
Design and Display: Slimmest in Its Class
Perhaps the most striking aspect of the Pova Slim 5G is its svelte build. The phone is reportedly only 5.93mm thick and 156g light, the thinnest curved-display 5G smartphone in the world. The phone is also reported to have a curved AMOLED display with a 144Hz screen refresh rate and a whopping 4,500 nits peak brightness, providing silky smooth images and unrivaled clarity even under direct sunlight.
Performance and Software
Internally, the Tecno Pova Slim 5G will be driven by the MediaTek Dimensity 6400 chipset and Android 15-based HiOS. The smartphone will also have Ella AI, the onboard voice assistant of Tecno, which supports several Indian languages such as Hindi, Marathi, and Tamil. This onboard of a local AI may increase the popularity of the phone among Indian users.
Connectivity Features
Besides its thin profile, the phone also focuses on connectivity. Tecno states the phone will be working even where there is little or no network because it has included features such as No Network Communication, VoWi-Fi, 5G carrier aggregation with 5G++, and 5G high-bandwidth optimization. The features are designed to enable users to enjoy a seamless experience where they are moving or residing in areas with unsteady coverage.
Camera and Lighting Enhancements
Although Tecno has not yet announced the full camera specifications, the Pova Slim 5G will come with a dual-camera arrangement at the rear. What is unique about it is that it contains the Dynamic Mood Light that goes around the lenses. It is a lighting system that is designed to light up when making calls, when receiving notifications, among other things, hence making the phone beautiful and usable.
Battery and Longevity
The phone will be authenticated by a 5,160mAh battery that also supports 45W fast charging and 10W reverse wired charging. In essence, consumers can also charge other devices via the Pova Slim 5G. The phone will also support an IP54-rated build, which implies it will be dust- and splash-resistant, a feature similar to that for the durability of the phone under actual usage conditions.
Verdict: A Stylish and Specification-Loaded Midrange Phone
With its pencil-thin form factor, bright AMOLED screen, intelligent AI assistant, and day-long battery life, the Tecno Pova Slim 5G seems poised to make its mark in India’s crowded smartphone ecosystem. Whether or not its proposed price tag makes it as appealing to buyers remains to be seen, but on paper at least, this phone has a lot to offer consumers in the way of looks, functionality, and overall usability.
