The new TECNO POVA 7 Ultra just dropped in the Philippines, unveiling it during the epic POVA Gaming Fiesta at SM Fairview on August 9–10, 2025. Over 5,000 gamers got hands-on with its 120FPS gameplay and sci-fi light-strip flair, while TECNO celebrated its “triple-crown” esports status—official device for PUBG Mobile Challenger Leagues SEA, SIBOL team phone, and pre-certified for HK Philippine Kings League. Pretty heavy flex.
Performance: The New Dimensity King
The TECNO POVA 7 Ultra is powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 8350 Ultimate chipset, a 4nm processor that’s truly built for gaming. We’re talking about an AnTuTu score of over 1.5 million points, which is a major flex for a phone in this price range.
With up to 12GB of LPDDR5X RAM (plus 12GB extended RAM) and a massive 256GB of UFS 4.0 storage, this phone can handle everything from high-graphics mobile legends to seamless multitasking. It also features a 12-layer Hyper Cooling System, so you can play for hours without worrying about your phone turning into a frying pan. This is a game-changer for budget-conscious gamers.
Display: A Visual Feast
The display is where the POVA 7 Ultra really shines. It features a large 6.78-inch 1.5K AMOLED display with a blazing-fast 144Hz refresh rate. The visuals are crisp, vibrant, and incredibly smooth, making every swipe and every game feel buttery smooth.
It also has an impressive 4,500 nits of peak brightness and 2592Hz high-frequency PWM dimming, which means you can use it comfortably even under direct sunlight and it will be easy on your eyes at night. This is flagship-level screen technology on a mid-range device.
Battery + Charging: Power and Speed
Power is the name of the game for the POVA series, and the 7 Ultra doesn’t disappoint. It packs a massive 6,000mAh silicon-carbon battery that can last a full day of heavy use. The most impressive part, however, is the charging. With 70W wired fast charging, you can get from 0 to 100% in just 44 minutes. And for the first time in the POVA series, it also supports 30W wireless charging, a premium feature you rarely see at this price point. It even has 10W reverse charging, so you can use it as a power bank for your other gadgets.
Camera: More Than Just a Gaming Phone
While its focus is on gaming, the POVA 7 Ultra holds its own in the camera department. It sports a dual-camera setup with a 108MP main shooter and an 8MP ultrawide lens. The 13MP front-facing camera is also more than capable of taking sharp selfies and clear video calls. While it won’t replace a flagship phone for photography enthusiasts, it’s more than enough for social media and capturing everyday moments.
Design + Extras: Small Touches, Big Impact
The design of the TECNO POVA 7 Ultra, with its “Interstellar Spaceship” aesthetic, is definitely an eye-catcher. It’s also IP64-rated for dust and splash resistance. A new “Status Light” on the back provides a cool, dynamic effect for notifications.
Other notable features include an in-display fingerprint sensor, dual stereo speakers with Dolby Atmos, and a new “FreeLink” feature for peer-to-peer communication within a 1km range. It’s these thoughtful additions that elevate the user experience.
UD Verdict: Super Sulit
After a thorough look at the TECNO POVA 7 Ultra’s specifications and features, the verdict is clear: this phone is a beast. For an official price of ₱16,999 (with a promo price of ₱15,136), you’re getting a flagship-level processor, an amazing 1.5K 144Hz AMOLED display, a huge battery with super-fast wired and wireless charging, and a capable camera system. It’s an undeniable value proposition.
For a phone that delivers this much power and so many premium features without breaking the bank, we have to give it our highest ranking. The TECNO POVA 7 Ultra is officially a “Super Sulit” device. This is the ultimate phone for gamers and power users who want flagship performance at a mid-range price.
