When you hear about smartphones in the mid-range market, you probably expect the usual: good display, solid camera, and decent battery life. But Tecno’s new Pova Slim 5G is here to shake things up a bit, and it’s making its debut in India with some eye-catching features that might just get your attention. Let’s dive into what this device brings to the table.
A Slim Yet Sturdy Build with Military Certification
The Tecno Pova Slim 5G isn’t just another phone with sleek curves and fancy finishes. It weighs just 156 grams, making it surprisingly light, but don’t let that fool you. Tecno has given this phone military grade certification, meaning it’s built to handle more than your average day-to-day bumps and knocks.
Adding a touch of flair, Tecno has also introduced what it calls the Dynamic Mood Light design, giving the phone a modern and stylish look that will stand out. And if you’re worried about the elements, the IP64 rating ensures it’s resistant to dust and minor splashes.
Price and Availability in India
Now, let’s talk about what really matters — the price. The Tecno Pova Slim 5G comes in a single variant: 8GB RAM + 128GB storage, and it’s priced at ₹19,999.

Display That Packs a Punch
One of the most talked-about features of the Pova Slim 5G is its 6.78-inch 3D curved AMOLED display. That’s not just big; it’s immersive.

- Protection: Corning Gorilla Glass 7i for extra durability.
This display is clearly designed for those who live on their phones — whether it’s watching videos, gaming, or scrolling endlessly.
Performance Powered by MediaTek
At the heart of the Tecno Pova Slim 5G lies the MediaTek Dimensity 6400 chipset. This octa-core processor is paired with 8GB RAM, making it more than capable of handling multitasking, gaming, and heavy apps with ease.
With 128GB of internal storage, you’ve got space for apps, photos, and videos. Plus, the dual SIM support ensures you can balance work and personal life all on the same device. And yes, it comes running on the latest Android 15, so you’re set for the newest software perks.
Cameras That Do the Job

For photography lovers, the Tecno Pova Slim 5G comes with a 50MP main camera featuring an f/1.79 aperture and dual LED flash. That means sharper shots, even in low light.
On the front, there’s a 13MP selfie camera, ready to handle your video calls and Instagram-worthy pictures. While it’s not aiming to compete with high-end camera phones, for its price point, these specs are solid and reliable.
Big Battery with Fast Charging
Battery life is a dealbreaker for many, and Tecno knows that. The Pova Slim 5G is equipped with a 5160 mAh battery, giving you enough juice to last through long hours of streaming, gaming, or scrolling.
And when it does run low, you won’t be stuck waiting around. The 45W fast charging support ensures you’re back up and running quickly.
Final Thoughts
The Tecno Pova Slim 5G may not be the flagship killer, but it’s definitely designed to appeal to those who want a stylish, lightweight phone with solid performance and durability. At ₹19,999, it sits comfortably in the mid-range category, offering features like a 144Hz AMOLED display, MediaTek Dimensity 6400 chipset, and military grade certification that make it stand out.
