If this seems surprising then it shouldn&#8217;t as both brands are owned by the same parent company, Transsion Holdings.<\/p>\n<p>Having said that, this isn&#8217;t just a straight copy-paste effort like we sometimes see from other brands with a shared parentage. The Pova Curve comes in at a lower price point than the Zero 40, so it makes several changes to the spec sheet, including to the chipset and the cameras but manages to gain a bigger battery while somehow being thinner and lighter.<\/p>\n<p>Tecno Pova Curve 5G specs at a glance:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"article-blurb article-blurb-findings\">&#13;<\/p>\n<li><b>Body:<\/b> 164.3&#215;74.6&#215;7.5mm, 189g; Gorilla Glass 5 front, plastic frame, plastic back; IP64 dust tight and water resistant (water splashes).<\/li>\n<p>&#13;<\/p>\n<li><b>Display:<\/b> 6.78&#8243; AMOLED, 144Hz, 2304Hz PWM, 1300 nits (peak), 1080x2436px resolution, 20.3:9 aspect ratio, 393ppi.<\/li>\n<p>&#13;<\/p>\n<li><b>Chipset:<\/b> Mediatek Dimensity 7300 Ultimate (4 nm): Octa-core (4&#215;2.5 GHz Cortex-A78 &amp; 4&#215;2.0 GHz Cortex-A55); Mali-G615 MC2.<\/li>\n<p>&#13;<\/p>\n<li><b>Memory:<\/b> 128GB 6GB RAM, 128GB 8GB RAM; UFS 2.2.<\/li>\n<p>&#13;<\/p>\n<li><b>OS\/Software:<\/b> Android 15, planned upgrade to Android 16, HIOS 15.<\/li>\n<p>&#13;<\/p>\n<li><b>Rear camera:<\/b> Wide (main): 64 MP, f\/1.8, 1\/1.73&#8243;, 0.8\u00b5m, PDAF; Depth: 2 MP, f\/2.4.<\/li>\n<p>&#13;<\/p>\n<li><b>Front camera:<\/b> 13 MP.<\/li>\n<p>&#13;<\/p>\n<li><b>Video capture:<\/b> Rear camera: 4K@30fps, 1080p@30fps; Front camera: 4K@30fps, 1080p@30fps.<\/li>\n<p>&#13;<\/p>\n<li><b>Battery:<\/b> 5500mAh; 45W wired, 50% in 15 min, 100% in 45 min.<\/li>\n<p>&#13;<\/p>\n<li><b>Connectivity:<\/b> 5G; Wi-Fi 6; BT 5.4; NFC; FM radio; Infrared port.<\/li>\n<p>&#13;<\/p>\n<li><b>Misc:<\/b> Fingerprint reader (under display, optical); stereo speakers (with Dolby Atmos); Circle to Search.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>At a starting price of INR 15,999, the Tecno Pova Curve is priced much more aggressively. Let&#8217;s see if it manages to impress us like its older cousin.<\/p>\n<p>Unboxing<\/p>\n<p>The Tecno Pova Curve comes in iridescent packaging which contains the phone, a charger, and a USB cable. Tecno also throws in a clear silicon case but it&#8217;s not great and the curved sides of the display mean it does not offer great protection in that area.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"inline-image\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/1750539738_666_gsmarena_002.jpg\" width=\"1200\" height=\"802\" alt=\"Tecno Pova Curve hands-on review\"\/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Introduction The Pova Curve is yet another value-oriented option from Tecno.
