The Tecno POVA gaming smartphone is now official, launching first in Nigeria as a mid-range device built around gaming. Tecno designed the phone with a large 6000mAh battery and thermal management aimed at sustained play. Here is what the company confirmed about its specifications.
Tecno POVA gaming smartphone design and display
The phone carries a 6.8-inch punch-hole display, with the selfie camera set into the cutout. It weighs 185 grams and measures 171.2x77.57x9.4mm.
The rear panel uses a Multilayer Graphite Plus Thermal Conductive Gel layer, which the company says reduces heat and keeps temperatures from climbing during charging. The glossy finish comes in three colours.

On the back is a quad camera setup positioned in the top-left corner of the rear panel. The arrangement is led by a 13-megapixel main sensor with an F/1.85 aperture and is supported by additional lenses for depth and detail.

Powering the device is a 6000mAh battery, sized to match the gaming focus of the phone. Tecno had been teasing the handset since October, when renders and specifications first surfaced ahead of the official reveal.
