Tecno has revealed that its upcoming smartphone, the Tecno Pova Slim 5G, will debut in India on September 4 at 12 PM IST. The phone will be sold only on Flipkart, and the company has already put up a special page for the device. This page shows the design and also highlights some of the main features. The new phone comes just a couple of months after Tecno launched the Pova 7 series in India.
The Tecno Pova Slim 5G is designed to look thin and stylish. The phone is shown in a white colour option and features a curved display with neat, even bezels all around. The front of the device has a small hole-punch cutout in the centre of the screen for the selfie camera.
On the rear, the phone features a horizontally aligned, capsule-shaped camera module. This module includes two cameras and an LED flash. There are also LED lights around the camera area, which add to the design.
One of the biggest highlights of the Pova Slim 5G is that it will come with Tecno’s own AI voice assistant called Ella. This assistant is built to support several Indian languages, including Hindi, Marathi, and Tamil. With Ella, the phone will also offer smart features that can help users in daily use.
For example, it includes an AI Writing Assistant that can help type or write better. Another feature is Circle to Search, which allows users to get instant answers or perform quick online searches by circling anything on the screen.
Connectivity is another area where Tecno has tried to make the device stand out. The Pova Slim 5G is said to work even in low or no-signal areas, thanks to its No Network Communication support.
It also includes features like VoWi-Fi Dual Pass, which helps in making better Wi-Fi calls, and 5G++ carrier aggregation, which combines different 5G bands for faster data. The company also promises 5G high-bandwidth optimisation for smoother performance when using 5G internet.
This launch comes soon after the company introduced the Pova 7 5G and Pova 7 Pro 5G in June 2025. A month before that, in May, the brand released the Tecno Pova Curve 5G, which came with more premium features such as the MediaTek Dimensity 7300 Ultimate processor, It comes with a 64MP dual rear camera setup, a big 5,500mAh battery supporting 45W fast charging, and a sleek body just 7.45mm thin.
That model also had an IP64 rating, making it resistant to dust and splashes of water. With the Pova Slim 5G, Tecno seems to be focusing on a thinner design and AI features rather than purely performance.
The Tecno Pova Slim 5G will be launched on September 4 in India, and more details about its price will be revealed during the event. Looking at Tecno’s past pricing strategy, the device is expected to be placed in the affordable mid-range 5G smartphone segment. This makes it a likely choice for young users who want a good-looking phone with useful AI tools and strong connectivity, without spending too much.
In summary, the Tecno Pova Slim 5G is designed to bring together a stylish look, advanced AI features, and powerful 5G connectivity in a single device. It continues Tecno’s effort to bring stylish and practical 5G phones at attractive prices to the Indian market.
