Overview
The TECNO POVA Curve 2 5G launched in Pakistan on October 15, 2026 at an official price of Rs 99,999 (8GB RAM / 256GB storage), bringing the POVA line back to Pakistan after more than two years. It packs an 8,000mAh battery into a 7.42mm, 195g body with 45W wired charging, a 6.78-inch 144Hz curved AMOLED with 4,500-nit peak brightness, the MediaTek Dimensity 7100 5G chip, a 50MP + 2MP rear camera pair, a 13MP front camera, IP64 dust/water resistance, Gorilla Glass 7i, and Android 16 with HiOS 16.
Gaming review
The Dimensity 7100 with Ice Cooling 3.0, a 144Hz curved AMOLED (2160Hz instant touch sampling) and bypass charging make this a strong mid-range gaming pick — TECNO claims 90 minutes of stable Free Fire at 60fps. The 8,000mAh battery stretches long sessions, though 45W charging needs ~82 minutes for a full refill. (Editorial estimate, not a measured benchmark.)
