Tecno Pova Curve 2 teased: Double the iPhone 17 Pro’s battery capacity in a thinner chassis

The Tecno Pova Curve 2 has a very curved display

The Tecno Pova Curve 2 is significantly thinner and lighter than the Apple iPhone 17 Pro, but it still sports a battery that is twice as large. Tecno has now revealed the unusual design and some hardware details shortly ahead of launch.

With a thickness of 0.29 inches and weight of 6.9 oz, the Tecno Pova Curve 2 is 16% thinner and 5% lighter than the Apple iPhone 17 Pro. However, Tecno advertises a battery with a little more than twice the iPhone 17 Pro’s capacity.

According to a teaser page, the Tecno Pova Curve 2 has an 8,000mAh battery that is supposed to last up to two days. Tecno has also shown the design of the new mid-range smartphone. With a display that curves along the left and right edges, Tecno is going against the current flat panel trend. The power button is finished in a bright orange. On the back, a transparent triangle provides a view of the SIM card slot and a barcode.

A previous leak already revealed the full design and many hardware details of the Tecno Pova Curve 2 back in December. According to the report, the 8,000mAh battery can be charged over USB-C at up to 45 watts. The 6.78-inch display utilizes an AMOLED panel with a 144Hz refresh rate and 1.5K resolution. The smartphone is further expected to feature the brand-new MediaTek Dimensity 7100, paired with 8GB to 12GB RAM and 128GB to 256GB of storage.

Rumors also claim Tecno that Tecno opted for a 13MP selfie camera, 50MP main camera and an essentially pointless 2MP sensor. The fingerprint sensor could be integrated into the display, while the chassis is reportedly IP64-rated, meaning it is protected against splashes but not fully waterproof. The Tecno Pova Curve 2 should be officially unveiled in India later this week.

Since 2009 I have written for different publications with a focus on consumer electronics. I joined the Notebookcheck news team in 2018 and have combined my many years of experience with laptops and smartphones with my lifelong passion for technology to create informative content for our readers about new developments in this sphere. In addition, my design background as an art director at an ad agency has allowed me to have deeper insights into the peculiarities of this industry.

My fascination for technology goes back a long way to the Pentium II era. Modding, overclocking and treasuring computer hardware has since become an integral part of my life. As a student, I further developed a keen interest in mobile technologies that can make the stressful college life so much easier. After I fell in love with the creation of digital content while working in a marketing position, I now scour the web to bring you the most exciting topics in the world of tech. Outside the office, I’m particularly passionate about motorsports and mountain biking.
