Big battery. Slim body. Not something you see every day. Tecno has quietly pushed those two ideas together with the Pova Curve 2, launching the phone in India as a device that promises marathon battery life without the usual bulk.
The screen grabs attention first. A 6.78-inch curved AMOLED panel, 1.5K resolution and a blistering 144Hz refresh rate make scrolling and gaming feel instant. Peak brightness tops out at around 4,500 nits, so legibility in harsh light isn’t left to chance. Corning’s Gorilla Glass 7i and SGS-certified drop protection add a layer of durability, while an IP64 rating keeps dust and splashes at bay.
Cameras are straightforward and focused. A 50MP primary sensor handles most shots, paired with a 2MP depth module for portrait work. Selfies come from a 13MP sensor tucked into a hole-punch cutout. Nothing flashy, but the setup covers the essentials you expect at this price point.
Under the hood sits the MediaTek Dimensity 7100 chipset, backed by 8GB of LPDDR5X RAM and up to 256GB of UFS 2.2 storage. Tecno swapped the Dimensity 7300 Ultimate used in the prior Pova Curve for this newer configuration, balancing efficiency and performance for everyday use and sustained gaming sessions.
The headline here is an 8,000mAh battery — Tecno calls this the slimmest phone to house that capacity — and it supports 45W fast charging for when you do need to top up quickly.
Connectivity and extras line up neatly: an in-display fingerprint reader, IR blaster, a single speaker tuned with Dolby Atmos, USB-C, dual SIM slots, Bluetooth 5.4 and dual-band Wi‑Fi. Tecno also adds dedicated G1 signal and SE1 Wi‑Fi enhancement chips to bolster reception. Software arrives as HiOS 16 on top of Android 16, with a promise of two Android OS upgrades.
For those who like the numbers, the phone measures 7.42mm thick and weighs 195g — impressively light given the battery inside. It will be available in Mystic Purple, Melting Silver and Storm Titanium finishes and goes on sale in India from February 20.

Who should consider this phone? If you treat your handset like a handheld power bank — long commutes, travel, marathon mobile gaming — the Pova Curve 2 makes a persuasive case. If your priority is the absolute fastest performance in a compact chassis, there are still leaner flagship alternatives. Either way, the Pova Curve 2 asks a simple question: what if you didn't have to choose between endurance and elegance?
