Tecno has officially introduced its new smartphones in India. the Pova 7 and Pova 7 Pro and both come packed with a bold design, smooth displays, and large batteries. They’ll be available starting July 10, 2025, exclusively on Flipkart, and are priced in the affordable segment.
Let’s take a closer look at what’s new, what’s useful, and what might surprise buyers in this price range.
Delta Light Interface: Bright, Fun, and Useful
The first thing you’ll notice is the glowing triangle around the rear cameras. Tecno calls this the Delta Light Interface, and it’s made up of 104 tiny LEDs. It’s not just for show — these lights react to incoming calls, music, charging, and gaming events. Think of it like a smart notification light with personality.
It feels similar to what Nothing Phones have done before, but Tecno brings its own twist to the idea, especially for a lower price point.
Same Size, Different Screens
Both phones use 6.78-inch displays with a fast 144Hz refresh rate, which means smooth scrolling and better gameplay visuals. But the screen quality is where the two models really differ.
- The Tecno Pova 7 has an IPS LCD with FHD+ resolution and up to 900 nits brightness. It’s solid for everyday use and media watching.
- The Pova 7 Pro upgrades to a brighter AMOLED panel with 1220p resolution, optical fingerprint sensor, and up to 4,500 nits peak local brightness, making it easier to view outdoors. It also features 2340Hz PWM dimming, which helps reduce eye strain.
Both screens are protected by Gorilla Glass 7i and include a 13MP selfie camera tucked into the display.
Performance and Battery: Built for Heavy Use
Inside both models is the MediaTek Dimensity 7300 Ultimate chipset, paired with 8GB RAM and up to 256GB storage. This combo should handle daily tasks, multitasking, and even mobile games without much trouble. Storage is fast and smooth, and you can choose between 128GB or 256GB depending on your needs.
Now for the battery: both models come with a massive 6,000mAh battery. That’s more than enough to get you through a full day and possibly into the next. The phones also support 45W wired charging. The Pova 7 Pro adds 30W wireless charging, which is rare to see at this price point.
Cameras: Slightly Different Setups
The camera system on both phones is also worth noting:
- The Pova 7 Pro has a 64MP main camera (Sony IMX682) and an 8MP ultrawide sensor, giving you more options when shooting landscapes or group photos.
- The regular Pova 7 comes with a 50MP main camera, plus an additional sensor (Tecno hasn’t detailed this yet), likely for depth or AI features.
If you’re someone who likes to take a lot of wide-angle shots, the Pro model is the better pick.
Software and AI Features
Both phones run HiOS 15, based on the latest Android 15, and come with Tecno’s in-house features like DeepSeek and the Ella AI assistant. DeepSeek helps with smarter phone search and navigation, while Ella handles voice commands and personal suggestions.

Final Thoughts
Tecno is clearly aiming to stand out in the budget and mid-range space, and the Pova 7 series shows that off well. You’re getting a fresh design, useful smart lighting, high refresh rate screens, big batteries, and a reliable chip, all wrapped in a price that’s easy to justify.
If you’re choosing between the two, go for the Pova 7 Pro if you want a better display, ultrawide camera, and wireless charging. But if you just want performance, big battery, and a lower price, the regular Pova 7 should be more than enough.
