TECNO Philippines just dropped a beast in a sleek suit with the new POVA Curve 2 5G smartphone. Claiming the title of the world’s slimmest curved-display 5G phone with an 8000mAh battery, it measures just 7.42mm thick and weighs only 195g. It has a stunning 6.78-inch curved AMOLED display featuring a 144Hz refresh rate, a 4500 nits peak brightness, and 2304Hz PWM dimming for eye comfort, all protected by drop and scratch resistant Corning Gorilla Glass 7i.
Powering the device is the MediaTek Dimensity 7100 5G SoC paired with up to 12GB RAM LPDRR5X (expandable to 24GB) and 256GB of UFS 2.2 storage. Compared to its predecessor, the Pova Curve, the Curve 2 5G delivers a massive battery leap from 5500mAh to an 8000mAh powerhouse while actually getting slimmer and upgrading to a more efficient processor. Even against same price segment rivals from other brands, the Pova Curve 2 easily takes the crown for battery endurance and a higher 144Hz refresh rate. It also supports 45W fast charging and Bypass Charge 2.0 to keep temps down during heavy gaming sessions.
In the camera department, you get a 50MP main rear camera paired with a 2MP macro, plus a 13MP front shooter, all equipped with handy AI tools like AI Eraser 2.0 and FlashSnap. It runs on the latest Android 16 with HIOS 16, bringing smart productivity features like the Ella AI assistant, AI Call Translation, and YouTube Smart Summary. Rounding out the experience are Dolby Atmos stereo speakers, IP64 dust and water resistance, an in-display fingerprint scanner, NFC, and an IR blaster.
