Tecno Pova 7 specifications and the latest price in October 2025, really fierce or normal for gaming?
Tecno again tempts middle-class users with the launch of the Tecno POVA 7 4G in 2025.
This smartphone comes with specifications that are quite promising, especially in the screen, battery, and main camera sector.
For users who are looking for cheap cellphones with tough performance and extraordinary durability, the POVA series is already known to excel.
However, in the midst of fierce competition for HP 2 million, the question arises: Is Tecno Pova 7 really fierce or just looking convincing on paper?
Bright screen and super large battery are the main attraction
Tecno Pova 7 4G is equipped with a 6.78-inch screen with Full HD + resolution with a refresh rate of 120Hz. This combination makes the visual display smoother and more comfortable for gaming and watching videos.
The screen-to-body ratio reaches 83.1%, providing an immersive experience with a bright color typical of AMOLED panels. The MediaTek Helio G100 Ultimate (6nm) chipset is the main brain of this phone, tough enough for daily needs and medium games.
8GB RAM with 128GB or 256GB storage options already uses UFS 2.2 technology for fast data access. The dedicated microSDXC slot is also available for users who want to increase storage space.
108 MP camera and full features in its class
In the photography sector, the Tecno Pova 7 carries a 108MP main camera that is capable of producing high details. The additional 2MP sensor works for macro photos, although the results don’t always stand out.
For selfie needs, there is an 8MP front camera which is good enough for video calls and light content. Features such as Dual-LED Flash and support for FHD video recording also complement the camera’s capabilities.
The Android 15 operating system with the HIOS 15 interface brings a more modern and smooth experience. In addition, features such as NFC, infrared port, 3.5mm audio jack, and stereo speakers make it quite complete in its class.
With IP64 certification, Tecno Pova 7 is also resistant to dust and light water splashes.
Stable performance but there are still some shortcomings
Although it looks tempting, Tecno Pova 7 is not without shortcomings to consider.
First, this cellphone does not support 5G networks, even though many competitors at similar prices already have it.
Second, there is no ultrawide lens, making the scenery photos feel less spacious and flexible. The 8MP front camera is also fairly standard for content creators that need high quality.
In addition, the weight of 203 grams with a thickness of 9.3 mm feels quite thick for some users.
This factor comes from a large 7000 mAh battery which is the hallmark of the POVA series.
However, 45W fast charging is considered a bit slower than the previous series which is already more efficient. The lithium polymer battery material also makes the body a little bulky compared to the new technology.
Finally, the gaming-style design may not be suitable for users who like a minimalist look.
prices and competitors in the Indonesian market
The price of Tecno POVA 7 4G in Indonesia in October 2025 ranged from Rp. 1,989,000 to Rp. 2,599,000. The 8GB/128GB variant is priced at around Rp. 1.9 million, while the 8GB/256GB version is around Rp. 2.2 million.
This price is quite competitive considering that this phone offers a bright 120Hz screen and a 7000 mAh battery. In the same price class, its strong competitors include the Samsung Galaxy A06 5G, Motorola Moto G45 5G, Oppo A60, and Vivo Y29.
All compete tightly in terms of connectivity, power efficiency, and more diverse camera support.
Tecno Pova 7 4G clearly offers many advantages, especially for users who are looking for cellphones with super large batteries and sharp screens. However, the absence of 5G support and ultrawide lenses makes it less future-proof than some of its rivals.
A thick design can also be a note for those who prioritize grip comfort. Overall, Tecno Pova 7 is suitable for casual gamers and active users who want a durable cellphone without being charged often.
For the price in the range of Rp. 2 million, performance and durability are still very worth considering at the end of 2025.***
