Tecno has announced its intention to release the Pova 6 5G, marking the fifth device in the Pova series, specifically in Colombia. This model is aimed at users who are budget-minded but still want decent specifications. The phone, which has been hinted at through social media, highlights its impressive camera capabilities featuring a main 108MP lens (with 3x zoom) and three rear cameras, although details about the other sensors are still unclear. Notable features also include a 120Hz display with Dynamic Port 2.0, a customizable notification system, and fast charging at 33W.
Hardware and Features
The device boasts 8GB of RAM, which can be expanded virtually by an additional 8GB, and offers 256GB of internal storage. It is powered by a robust 5,000mAh battery, as confirmed by FCC documents. Leaked certification details have also shown that it includes NFC support, which is a rarity in budget phones, and is compatible with Android 14 as per the Google Play Console. The design and basic specifications, including a MediaTek Dimensity processor (though exact details are not yet verified), are similar to those of the Spark 20 Pro 5G, leading to speculation that the Pova 6 5G might simply be a renamed version for local markets.
Color Options and Pricing
Tecno plans to release the Pova 6 5G in both Black and White color choices; however, they have not yet revealed the pricing or the launch date. The competitiveness of this new model will likely depend on its price point. The previous model, the Pova 5 Pro 5G, was sold for under $250, which suggests the new device may be positioned similarly in terms of cost.
Upcoming Devices
In related news, Tecno is also hinting at the launch of another smartphone within the Pova series, likely belonging to the Pova 7 lineup. This upcoming device is expected to feature a triangular camera setup with LED lighting and a square frame that has rounded edges. While specific specifications are yet to be disclosed, it is anticipated that it will include a triple-camera configuration.
