Last month, we reported the announcement of the TECNO POVA 5 and the Free Fire Edition. Now, it looks like the latter is in the Philippines. The TECNO POVA 5 Free Edition was spotted by revu PH in one of the popular online shopping platforms in the Philippines and from the store known as "Rull's", a known retailer of TECNO in the country.
However, it looks like the listing has now
been deleted as we tried to search on both the Shopee and Lazada pages of
Rull's store. Fortunately, revu PH managed to get a screenshot of the prices
including the memory configurations of the phone giving us an idea of how much
will it be. To recall both the regular and Free Fire editions are identical in
specs. But the special edition gets a unique box inspired by the battle royale
game itself including the stickers, characters, and custom wallpaper.
Anyway, the phone boasts a 6.78-inch LCD
(IPS) screen with a 120Hz refresh rate, 2460 x 1080 resolution, and 240Hz touch
sampling rate. Inside, it is powered by the 6nm MTK Helio G99 octa-core
processor with Mali-G57 MC2 GPU, 8GB RAM, and 256GB memory, 6000mAh battery,
and charges using USB-C and 45W power brick. For cameras, it has a 50MP main
sensor partnered with an 8MP selfie camera.
TECNO also included a cooling system for
the phone. It now features a heat dissipation area of 10,749mm2 which is
comprised of a 1399.65mm2 vapor chamber and a 9349.39mm2 graphene heat sink.
Other features noted are the z-axis linear vibration motor and dual speakers
with DTS Sound support. For OS, the phone runs Android 13.
