The “starship” design
The Pova 8 Pro uses TECNO’s “starship” design language, highlighted by a triangular rear camera module and a Mini LED dot-matrix display.
The Mini LED panel can be customized, giving the rear of the phone an extra visual element beyond the camera system.
TECNO also offers a limited Tonino Lamborghini Edition in black. It has the same specifications and storage configurations as the standard model, with the main difference being its exclusive design. TECNO notes that the collaboration has no direct commercial ties to the carmaker itself.
