The POVA Curve 2 5G, the thinnest 5G AI phone to date with an 8000mAh battery, is released by TECNO in the Philippines
TECNO Mobile Philippines has officially introduced the POVA Curve 2 5G, the newest edition to its renowned POVA portfolio, across the country. Engineered for the go-getter generation, the device comes with the brand tagline "Power That Never Drops" — a promise fulfilled by a gigantic 8,000mAh battery and a twin chip signal amplification system that keeps users connected no matter where they are.
The POVA Curve 2 5G is the world's slimmest curved display 5G smartphone with an 8,000mAh battery, measuring only 7.42mm thick and weighing 195g. Inside its impressively thin shell lies a powerhouse that reimagines what users may expect from a mid-range 5G phone.
Unstoppable Battery, Uncompromised Design
The POVA Curve 2 5G's main feature is its industry-leading 8,000mAh mega battery, which can provide up to three days of ordinary usage on a single charge – 72 hours of continuous use, 103.4 hours of music playback, 33.8 hours of navigation, or 18.8 hours of gaming. When it's time to recharge, 45W rapid charging gets the battery to 50% in just 36 minutes, reducing downtime.
For customers who never stop gaming or streaming, Bypass Charging 2.0 allows the phone to draw power directly from the charger rather than cycling through the battery, minimizing heat generation during high-load conditions and extending battery life. The device also supports 10W reverse wired charging, which allows it to function as an emergency power bank for earphones, tablets, or a friend's phone. Despite its huge battery capacity, the POVA Curve 2 5G is incredibly thin and lightweight. The 7.42mm ultra compact profile and 195g weight make it ideal for one-handed gaming while also being pocket-friendly for regular commutes.
Signal That Never Drops
The POVA Curve 2 5G provides a solution in a country where connectivity issues are a daily occurrence, from congested LRT tunnels and subterranean parking garages to distant provincial locations. It features TECNO's self-developed G1 signal enhancement chipset and SE1 Wi Fi enhancement chipset, which work in tandem with the powerful UPS 3.0 signal optimization algorithm.
In comparison to its predecessor, the gadget supports 20 5G bands, more than double the previous 10 bands accessible, ensuring better coverage and more dependable connections across various network infrastructures. The twin chip technology reduces network latency by 33% and increases upload rates by 70%, while the Hyper Antenna Matrix covers 90% of the chassis with antenna elements, resulting in +3dB signal strength over typical configurations. The POVA Curve 2 5G keeps you connected whether negotiating EDSA traffic, watching videos on an MRT ride, or accepting calls inside a Makati high-rise elevator.
Standout Specs at a Standout Price
The POVA Curve 2 5G is powered by the 6nm MediaTek Dimensity 7100 5G CPU, which has an AnTuTu benchmark score of up to 850,000. The 6.78-inch FHD+ curved AMOLED display has a 144Hz refresh rate for buttery smooth navigation and gaming, and the max brightness of 4,500 nits ensures exceptional outdoor visibility in the Philippine sun. Corning Gorilla Glass 7i ensures display protection.
The camera has a 50MP main rear camera with a 2MP macro sensor and a 13MP front-facing selfie camera. Other features include IP64 dust and splash resistance, SGS 5 Star Drop Resistance certification for 1.5 meter falls, Dolby Atmos stereo speakers, an in-display fingerprint sensor, FreeLink 2.0 for offline communication within 1.5km, and the HiOS 16 interface based on Android 16 with integrated AI tools.
