Tecno Launches Pova Slim 5G in India at ₹19,999, Touting Ultra‑Thin Curved Design

The sub‑₹20,000 device courts value buyers with an ultra‑thin build powered by localized on‑device AI.

Overview

  • Sales begin September 8 via Flipkart and retail partners, with a single 8GB/128GB model offered in Sky Blue, Slim White and Cool Black.
  • The phone measures 5.95mm and 156g, featuring a 6.78‑inch 1.5K 144Hz 3D curved AMOLED display rated up to 4,500 nits.
  • It runs MediaTek’s Dimensity 6400 with 8GB RAM (plus 8GB virtual), 128GB UFS 2.2 storage, and a 5,160mAh battery with 45W charging.
  • On-device Ella AI supports Indian languages with tools such as AI Call Assistant, AI Writing, image editing, Circle to Search and privacy blurring.
  • The 50MP+2MP rear setup sits beside a Dynamic Mood Light LED strip, while Tecno cites 5G+ carrier aggregation, 4x4 MIMO, Dual SIM Dual Active, Gorilla Glass 7i, MIL‑STD‑810H and IP64; the ‘world’s slimmest’ label is limited to 3D curved 5G and is contested by rival thin phones.
