In the race of slim phones, where Samsung’s Galaxy S25 Edge broke the records with 5.8 mm and Apple’s iPhone Air with 5.6 mm earlier this month, while Techno’s Pova Slim 5G has hit a tremendous size of 5.95 mm and 156 grams of weight, and that too in ₹ 19,999. Launched on 4 September, this mid-range phones prefer to be portable, introducing the best mixture of styling and power. After three weeks of testing, does it prove its ability? Let’s start.
** Design and texture: Light icon like wing **
164.2 x 75.9 x 5.95 mm -sized, Powa Slim sounds like a superpower credit card – without a huge number of rivals like vaccine and premium, Realme GT 7. Sky blue, slim white or cool black colored fiberglass back panel glows, but fingers are very high; A case is necessary. On the front, Corning Gorilla Glass 7i protects the curved edges, while the IP64 resistance and MIL-STD-810H certification prevents splattering and falling. Most special? A dynamic mood light LED around the camera module – which smiles when the whole battery is low, offers eyebrows when low, leading to a unique style. The plastic frame indicates its budget roots, but it rests with flexibility without any flexibility.
Display: Viveical Visual Experience
6.78-inch 1.5K (1224 x 2720) with curved amoled display, 144hz refresh rate, 240Hz touch sampling and 4500 notes with peak brightness, the most attractive for glare-proof outdoor scrolling. Color burst on 440ppi and 89.1% screen-to-body ratio, Netflix is ideal for viewing or casual gaming. Small flaws: Obstruction of animation sometimes reflects the incompatibility of refresh rates.
Performance and Software: Smuth Operator
MediaTek dimensions with 8GB RAM (16GB virtual boost) and 128/256GB storage, 6400 (6Nm), complements apps and multitasking faster, supported by 5G and Vapper Chamber, for cool, throttle-free session. Light games like BGMI run easily, but reduce heavy game frames. HIOS 15 and Ella AI Assistant Android 15 is best for multilingual smartness, but only two OS updates disappoint against Samsung’s seven -year promises.
Battery: Thin still powerful
Regardless of physics, the 5160mAh battery runs for 10+ hours with mixed use, 100% charge in 57 minutes through 45W. Reverse and bypass charging increases its versatility – real power lasting all day in a thin cover.
Camera: Great for social photos
50MP Main (PDAF) gives a clean portrait in daylight with AI tweex, + 2MP depth rear camera; 1440p@30fps video is sufficient. The 13MP selfie camera handles the dynamic range well, but the absence of noise and ultravide in low light limits its versatility.
Benefits: Ultra-slim portability; Great battery; Vibrant amoled; Economic price in ₹ 19,999.
Loss: Fingerprint magnets; Limited software support; Lack of microSD card; Average camera in low light.
Result: Pova Slim 5G is in the trend of thinness, without any deficiency on essential things and receives 4/5 ratings for style fond users. Buy it on Flipkart from 8 September – before the next slim sensation makes headlines.
