The long-awaited Tecno Pova 8 5G finally has a launch date. Today, the brand has announced that the device will be landing in India on June 11 at 12 PM local time.

Tecno has also revealed the phone’s design through the short teaser video you can see below. This reveals the fact that the handset has a small dot matrix display on the back, that’s integrated into the camera island. The inspiration from Nothing is pretty clear here – dot matrix display aside, there’s also the faux transparent look.

Say hello to peak design.
