Tecno Pova Curve 2 hands-on | Infinium-tech

This is the Tecno Powa Curve 2 and its key asset is its massive 8,000mAh battery. But there’s more to it so let’s take a look.

The phone has just launched in India and is available in Mystic Purple, Melting Silver (ours), and Storm Titanium and in 8/128GB or 8/256GB options. It starts at INR 27,999 (€258 and £221, converted) and comes with a case, 45W charger, and USB-A to USB-C cable.

So about that battery. Its size is really impressive, isn’t it? Furthermore, it is not a silicon-carbon chemistry. And then again, the phone is less than 8 millimeters (7.4 mm) thick!

You would never have thought that this phone has the power plant that does this work when it comes in your hand. Weighing in at under 200 grams, the Powa Curve 2 is impressively light too.

The phone now has a retro-feeling curvy build. The front and rear panels are very sloping, and the frame melds into a thin side rail. It’s a beautiful design, which we at GSMArena still hold dear to our hearts! Not everything has to be a rectangle that is flat on all sides.

On one hand, the Powa Curve 2 is a balanced phone in terms of specs. It runs on 6nm Dimensity 7100 chipset with 8GB RAM. The screen is a good size (6.78″) 144Hz 1080p AMOLED with Gorilla Glass 7i on top.

There are actually only two cameras on board – a 13MP selfie shooter, and a 50MP main wide-angle that does double duty as a 3x zoom. The second lens on the back is a 2MP dedicated macro.

There’s also only one speaker on the Tecno Powa Curve 2, but it’s a Dolby Atmos-enabled unit, and it sounds great – loud and crisp.

Overall, we would say that the Tecno Powa Curve 2 punches well above its weight. It has a great look and feel, a promising battery, a great screen, and on the software front it’s a solid performer!
