Tecno is preparing to refresh its Pova lineup with a new model slated for 2026. The upcoming Tecno Pova Curve 2 5G has now surfaced through early design renders and leaked specifications, offering a first glimpse at what the brand is planning next. While the leaks stop short of revealing pricing or launch timelines, it does outline a clear focus on design continuity, a larger battery, and incremental hardware upgrades. Here is a closer look at what has emerged so far.

The Tecno Pova Curve 2 5G appears to build on the visual identity of its predecessor while introducing subtle refinements. On the front, the device is expected to feature a curved-edge AMOLED display that gives it a more premium look and feel. This panel is tipped to measure 6.78 inches and deliver a 1.5K resolution, offering an upgrade over the Full HD+ display found on the previous generation. The screen is also said to support a 144Hz refresh rate.

The rear design continues with a bold, geometric approach. The leaked render reveals a triangular camera module that houses a 50-megapixel main camera and a 2-megapixel auxiliary lens, along with an LED flash. Adding to the visual appeal is a contrasting black triangular insert positioned at the bottom-right corner of the rear panel, giving the device an industrial, gamer-inspired accent.

Powering the Tecno Pova Curve 2 5G is expected to be the MediaTek Dimensity 7100 chipset, which is yet to be officially announced. The phone is likely to be offered in multiple memory configurations, including 8GB RAM with 128GB storage, 8GB RAM with 256GB storage, and a higher-end 12GB RAM with 256GB storage option. On the software side, the device is expected to run Android 16 with Tecno’s HiOS 16 skin layered on top.

One of the biggest highlights is the reported 8,000mAh battery, which could set a new benchmark for battery capacity in the mid-range segment. Charging support is said to top out at 45W. Additional features tipped for the phone include an optical in-display fingerprint sensor, an infrared blaster, and an IP64 rating for dust and splash resistance.

For context, the original Pova Curve 5G launched in India at Rs 15,999 (~$180), suggesting that the Curve 2 5G could arrive with a similar pricing.
