Hong Kong – September 08, 2026 -- TECNO has launched the POVA 8 Pro 5G Tonino Lamborghini Limited Edition, a smartphone built through a multi-year partnership with the Italian brand first announced in March. The device pairs a black-and-red design language with a dual-chipset performance setup and Sony-engineered camera hardware.
The design borrows directly from Lamborghini's visual identity
The rear panel uses a dual-layer stacking process featuring a hexagonal 'Signature Shield' pattern and a central 'Pulse Line,' with internal mirror structures that shift light as the phone rotates. A metallic Tonino Lamborghini logo, a custom boot animation, bespoke ringtone, and a black-and-red interface theme extend the branding across the software experience. At 7.39mm thick, the phone houses a 6,500mAh battery that TECNO says retains over 80% health after 2,000 charge cycles, equivalent to roughly six years of use, and operates in temperatures from -20°C to 60°C.
A dual-chipset setup targets gaming performance
The phone runs an 8-core MediaTek Dimensity 7400 Ultimate 5G platform alongside TECNO's own P1 Graphic Chip, which offloads GPU rendering to reach up to 144FPS in titles like Mobile Legends: Bang Bang, PUBG, Call of Duty, and Honor of Kings, and up to 90FPS in heavier titles including Genshin Impact and Honkai: Star Rail. A 5K IceShield Vapor Chamber Cooling System spans a 5000mm2 vapor chamber with 9-layer thermal architecture and over 22,000mm2 of total heat dissipation area.
The camera system centers on a Sony sensor
The main camera uses a Sony LYTIA 700C sensor with a 1/1.56-inch size, 2×2 On-Chip Lens autofocus technology, and optical image stabilization. It supports 2x lossless zoom and a 50MP high-pixel mode, backed by an 8MP ultra-wide lens and a 13MP front camera.
The 6.78-inch display reaches 4,500 nits of peak brightness
The 1.5K 144Hz HyperLux AMOLED screen supports the DCI-P3 color gamut, a 240Hz touch sampling rate, and 2,800Hz instantaneous touch response. A Wet & Oily Finger Touch Recognition 2.0 feature keeps the screen usable in rain, with sweaty hands, or through a waterproof pouch.
AI features cover health tracking and video summarization
AI YouTube Summary condenses long videos into timestamped notes, while All-Scenario Noise Cancellation isolates a user's voice from background noise during calls and recordings. AI Health, described as for reference only and not a medical device, lets users measure blood pressure, blood oxygen, heart rate, and respiration via a face scan in select markets.
Durability and software support extend across multiple years
The device carries Corning Gorilla Glass 7i, IP69/69K/68/66 dust and water resistance, and SGS 5-Star Drop Resistance certification. It ships with HiOS 16, two major Android OS upgrades, three years of security patches, three years of free 256GB cloud storage, and in select markets a 3-month Google AI Plus trial with 2TB of storage.
