With the Powa 7, Tecno took a page out of Nothing’s book with the Delta Light interface, which is a triangular strip of light with 104 LEDs. Now the company is going to the next level with Alive Matrix Display. This is a small dot-matrix display in the third “lens” of the camera island (despite appearances, there is only one actual camera there).
New techno pova 8 It is an upgrade from Powa 7 in some respects, but a downgrade in other respects. It has a larger 8,000mAh battery (up from 6,000mAh). TÜV SÜD tested the phone and found that it lasts for 2 days on a single charge. That’s not all – the battery is rated for over 2,000 cycles (retaining at least 80% of its original capacity), which works out to 6 years of use.
The battery has 45W fast charging and can go from 1% to 50% in 35 minutes. Reverse charging at 10W is also an option. However, the 30W wireless charging support from the previous phone has been removed.
And this is not the only cut. Powa 8 has been launched with Dimensity 7100. While this chip was announced in January, making it newer than the previous model Dimensity 7300, it actually uses an older semiconductor node – TSMC 6nm – rather than 4nm.
The chipset contains a 15,000 mm² sheet of graphite to dissipate heat. The Dimensity 7100 is coupled with 8GB of LPDDR5X RAM and 256GB of UFS 2.2 storage. Tecno says the phone has been tuned to deliver stable 90fps gameplay on popular titles honor of kings And Mobile Legends: Bang Bang.
The triangular camera island at the back features three lenses. However, only one of them is an actual camera – it’s a 50MP Sony Lytia 600 (1/1.95″) sensor with 2x in-sensor zoom and an AF lens. The “lens” below that is an Alive Matrix display. The second camera on board is a 13MP selfie module.
It runs on a 6.76″ IPS LCD, with a 144Hz refresh rate and 1080p+ resolution. The display features a 240Hz touch sampling rate and Wet and Oily Finger Touch Recognition 2.0. The phone runs HiOS 16 (Android 16) out of the box.
