It’s confirmed: TECNO Mobile is bringing its latest POVA smartphone to the Philippines.

(Update: We now have the TECNO POVA 5’s prices!)

According to the Transsion Holdings brand, the TECNO POVA 5 will be launched in the country August 2. The product listings on Lazada and Shopee show the device will be available in Mecha Black, Hurricane Blue, and Amber Gold color variants. The 8GB/128GB version will be exclusive to Lazada, while Shopee will offer the model with double the storage.

The prices listed on the two online-shopping platforms is only a placeholder, though, so we’ll only know them in a few days. Just take note that the TECNO POVA 4, the phone’s predecessor, was sold for P7,999 (roughly $147) at launch.
