Tecno is planning to launch the POVA 5 smartphone series in India. The company has started teasing the upcoming phone on Amazon with a dedicated microsite.

Tecno launched the POVA 5 smartphone in select markets last month.
There will be one more phone in the series which is going to be the POVA 5 Pro, and it’s slated to launch in India soon.

Tecno is expected to launch a new handset soon, as per a leaked live video of a rumoured Tecno Pova smartphone shared by a tipster.

In the video, an RGB LED light strip is seen on the rear panel of the phone, lighting up with an incoming call, a feature that appears to be inspired by the Glyph Interface on the Nothing Phone 2 and its predecessor, the Phone 1.

Tecno POVA 5 Pro

Recently, the company launched the Tecno Pova 5 in select global markets with a 6nm MediaTek Helio G99 SoC and a 6,000mAh battery with 45W fast charging and 10W reverse charging support.

Tipster Ishan Agarwal (@ishanagarwal24) shared a brief video via Twitter with the purported Tecno Pova smartphone in action. The phone is seen with an LED light strip on the back panel, next to the camera module located in the top left corner.

Like Nothing Phone’s Glyph Interface, the Tecno handset is expected to come with its own software, reportedly named the Arc Interface.
However, this appears to feature RGB lighting unlike the Nothing Phone that has a single LED colour.

The Arc Interface is expected to use the LED light strip to notify users of different events on the smartphone. In the video, the tipster claims that the light works when there is an incoming call.

Other information related to the Arc Interface is scare, and details such as the degree of customisation it will allow users or any other information on the rumoured device are expected to be announced by the company at a later date.

Tecno POVA 5 Pro India Launch

Tecno POVA 5 Pro India Launch

Tecno POVA 5 Pro will be available in India via Amazon. The launch date hasn’t been revealed yet but it should be debuting very soon. Tecno POVA 5 Pro will debut the company’s ‘Arc’ interface which are basically LED lights on the phone.

The microsite on Amazon shows a silhouette of the phone’s design, and the LED lights are three strips meeting at one point.

Based on the image teaser, the LED lights are going to be colourful unlike the Glyph Interface on the Nothing Phone (2). The design is also different than the one on the Phone (2). But it looks like LED lights are the latest inspiration for smartphone brands.

Infinix is also preparing to launch the GT 10 Pro that has a rear design like the Phone (2).

Other than the LED lights, there isn’t much that the Tecno POVA 5 Pro teaser reveals about the phone’s design. In terms of specifications, the Tecno POVA 5 Pro is expected to come with a 7,000mAh battery and 68W fast charging support.

The Tecno Pova 5 is offered in Amber Gold, Hurricane Blue, and Mecha Black colour options and has a robot mecha-inspired design.
It has been unveiled in certain markets in Southeast Asia, the Middle East, and Latin America.

Tecno hasn’t confirmed yet but it’s expected to bring the POVA 5 smartphone to India as well.

Faqs

1) Upcoming Tecno POVA Will Feature A Unique LED Light Strip On The Back Panel.Details?

Ans) An upcoming Tecno POVA smartphone has been spotted in a video clip. It has been shared by tipster Ishan Agarwal. The clip gives us a glimpse at the upcoming offering. However, the exact name and launch timeline of the forthcoming Tecno POVA remains a mystery.

As seen in the video, the upcoming Tecno POVA phone will feature an LED light strip on the back panel around the camera module. Ishan says that the new functionality will be called ‘Arc Interface’ and the LED strip will light up on receiving notifications. The lights can also be seen in various colors.

The functionality looks quite cool, however, it’s not the first time we’ve spotted it on a Tecno phone. Last year’s Tecno POVA 3 also had a vertical light strip on the back panel.  The upcoming POVA phone has a glossy finish camera module with two sensors and an LED flash unit. The right side of the back panel seems to have a carbon-fiber-like pattern.

Tecno already launched the POVA 5 in the global markets last month and the brand is teasing the POVA Neo 3. However, it remains to be seen which device will feature the LED light strip. Notably, both phones have the same back panel design, however, the POVA 5 does not have any LED strip.

2) Video shows Tecno Pova’s new Arc Interface with RGB lights on the back.Details?

Ans) Tecno is apparently working on something called the Arc Interface – RGB lights on the back of the phone that light up for new notifications. Here “the phone” appears to be the Tecno Pova 5, although there is a chance that it is a different device instead.

Here is a demo of Arc by Ishan Agarwal, which shows the light strips blink into life for an incoming call:

Judging by the demo clip, the lights lack the fine-grained control that the Nothing Phone (2) has, but the Pova 5 is a lower end device. A more elaborate version could be created for more premium Tecnos.

The Pova 5 has a 6.78” 120Hz IPS LCD (FHD+) and is powered by a Helio G99 chipset (up to 8/256GB memory) and a large 6,000mAh battery with 45W wired-only charging. This design is called “Turbo Mecha”.

By the way, the upcoming Tecno Pova Neo 3 also uses the Mecha design, but we don’t know whether this will include the lights or not (note: the Neo 3 design doesn’t include the dotted pattern next to the camera island, that’s why we think this is the Pova 5). The Pova 5 will be released later this month.
