8GB + 128GB — Not yet confirmed
8GB + 256GB — Expected: Rs. 66,999
| Model | Tecno Pova Slim |
| Price | PKR. 66,999 (Expected) |
| Display | 6.78″ AMOLED 1224×2720 pixels |
| RAM | 8 GB |
| ROM | 128 GB / 256 GB |
| Released | 8 October 2025 |
Design and Display
At 6mm thick and 156g, the Pova Slim is one of the thinnest phones you can buy right now, and Tecno still fitted a 5,160mAh battery inside it. Thin phones usually mean a small battery, and this one breaks that rule outright. The front is Gorilla Glass 7i, the back is fibreglass, and a small status light LED sits on the rear. It carries an IP64 rating for dust and splashes, plus MIL-STD-810H compliance, though Tecno notes that does not guarantee ruggedness in extreme conditions.
The screen is a 6.78-inch AMOLED at 144Hz, with 1600 nits in high-brightness mode and a 4500-nit peak. Resolution is 1224×2720, so text and photos stay sharp, and the 144Hz refresh keeps scrolling smooth.
Performance
The Dimensity 6400 is a mid-range chip, and it behaves like one. Daily use is fine: apps open quickly, the interface stays smooth, and light games run without complaint. Heavy 3D games need lower settings, and this is not a phone for serious gaming. That is an honest trade. This phone’s appeal is the design, not the speed.
Camera
- Main: 50MP wide sensor with PDAF. Daylight shots come out clean and detailed, and this is the camera you will actually use.
- Telephoto: none. The second rear lens is a 2MP auxiliary sensor, not a zoom lens.
- Ultrawide: none. The 2MP auxiliary sensor adds almost nothing to your photos; it is filler, plain and simple.
- Selfie: 13MP wide front camera for selfies and video calls. MobileDokan lists video support but no frame rates.
Video: 1440p at 30fps and 1080p at 30fps from the rear camera.
Battery and Charging
The 5,160mAh battery is the engineering win in a 6mm phone. Expect a full day comfortably, and a second day with light use. Charging is 45W wired, taking the phone from empty to full in 57 minutes. It also supports 10W reverse wired charging and bypass charging, which powers the phone straight from the charger while you game and keeps the battery cooler. There is no wireless charging, which is fair at this price.
Software
The Pova Slim runs Android 15 with Tecno’s HIOS 15 skin on top. MobileDokan lists no update promise for this model, so do not buy it counting on a set number of Android upgrades.
Price in Pakistan
The Tecno Pova Slim is expected to cost Rs. 66,999 in Pakistan for the 8GB + 256GB version. That figure comes from the official Bangladesh price of ৳29,999, converted at Rs. 2.2264 per taka. The 8GB + 128GB version has no confirmed price yet.
Check the street price before paying. Pakistani retailers list it lower: mymobile at Rs. 54,999 and zmobiles at Rs. 49,999, both below the converted figure.
Buying in Pakistan
- Check the IMEI and the exact model number against the box before paying.
- Confirm the warranty: who honours it, and where.
- Confirm PTA status through DIRBS before buying, so the phone does not get blocked later.
Final Verdict: Buy it for the thin design, the screen and the battery
If you want one of the thinnest phones around with a bright 144Hz screen and a battery that outlasts most 6mm rivals, the Pova Slim earns its place. Go in knowing the camera is a one-lens show and the chip is mid-range, and it will not disappoint.
