Launched in July 2025 the Tecno Pova 7 Ultra is a budget gaming phone with a 6.78-inch AMOLED display, MediaTek Dimensity 8350 Ultimate chipset, and a 6000 mAh battery. With a pseudo-transparent design and a Status Light, it’s a bold rival to the Poco F7 Ultra or Redmi K80. Its 12-layer cooling system and 108 MP camera make it a standout, but is it worth the price?

Gaming Vibes All Over
That back panel? Totally trying to be Nothing Phone with that “pseudo-transparent” thing and the glowing Status Light. It actually looks dope, especially if you snag it in Magic Silver. Yeah, it’s plastic, but its lightweight (about 190g) and slim at 8.1mm. IP64 splash-proof too, so it won’t melt in a little rain.
2. Eye-Popping Display
Big, bold 6.78-inch AMOLED. 144Hz refresh, so scrolling feels like butter. 4500 nits brightness—seriously, try squinting in the sun, this thing still shines. It’s not as sharp as the Spark 40 Pro, but unless you’re putting your eyeball on the glass, who cares?
3. Serious Power under the Hood
Dimensity 8350 Ultimate and a chunky cooling setup. Games? No sweat. Up to 24GB RAM if you use that virtual RAM thing (which, let’s be honest, is a bit of a gimmick but whatever, more is more). UFS 3.1 storage keeps it snappy. HiOS 15 is…quirky. Custom gaming icons and “Ella AI” that tries to be your buddy. Just be ready to delete some bloatware.
4. Cameras That Actually Deliver
108 MP main shooter? That’s a lot of pixels. Daytime shots are crisp, ultrawide is handy for group pics. AI tricks like AIGC Portrait and Super Night try their best. No OIS, though, so your night videos might look like a Blair Witch sequel. Selfie cam is 13MP and gets the job done.
5. Battery for Days
6000 mAh is pure overkill in the best way. Game all day, scroll all night, repeat. 70W wired charger gets you halfway full in about 25 minutes. Wireless charging at this price? Wild. You even get reverse wireless and a little 3000 mAh magnetic power bank (with a case). That’s actually pretty clever.
The Pova 7 Ultra is a straight-up gaming powerhouse for broke gamers or anyone who wants max specs for less cash. The design’s fun, the wireless charging is a flex, and the battery life’s insane. Downsides? No SD slot, no headphone jack, and plastic everywhere. Plus, don’t even think about using it in the US unless you enjoy living on airplane mode. Still, compared to stuff like the Poco F7 Ultra or Redmi K80, it’s an easy pick if you’re on a budget and want something flashy that won’t choke during your Genshin Impact marathons.
