Tecno Pova 8 5G Appears on Google Play Console — Dimensity 7100, 6GB RAM, Android 16, 7,750mAh Battery and FHD+ Display Confirmed

Tecno Pova 8 5G Reveals Itself Across Multiple Platforms

Tecno Pova 8 5G has surfaced on the Google Play Console database. The listing reveals that the smartphone is powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 7100 chipset. Although the chipset name is not directly mentioned, the model number MT6858 along with the listed CPU and GPU configurations strongly indicates the Dimensity 7100. The device was recently spotted on Geekbench with the same chipset, 6GB RAM, and Android 16.

Specs Revealed Across Multiple Platforms

Chipset: Dimensity 7100 octa-core: four cores at 2.40GHz and four at 2.00GHz. GPU: ARM Mali-G610 MC2. Geekbench scores: ~995 single-core and 2,825 multi-core.

Display: The front image in Google Play Console indicates a flat screen with rounded corners at FHD+ resolution 1080×2344 and 420dpi pixel density.

Battery: An earlier TUV certification revealed a massive 7,750mAh battery — one of the standout features of the device.

Software: Android 16 from day one.

Notable Observation — Pova 7 Had Stronger Dimensity 7300

The predecessor Tecno Pova 7 5G was equipped with the MediaTek Dimensity 7300 chipset. The presence of a comparatively lower-end chipset in its successor may seem unlikely, but the Geekbench listing points towards this configuration.

Likely explanation: the current DRAM crisis pushed Tecno toward a cheaper chip to maintain an affordable price point.

Platforms Where It Has Appeared

Google Play Console. Geekbench. TUV (battery). Bluetooth SIG (model number LK6). NBTC (marketing name + 5G support). A Pova 8 Pro variant is also expected.

Expected Pricing

In India, the smartphone is expected to be priced around Rs 20,000, placing it in the competitive budget 5G segment.
