Tecno Pova 8 5G starts at a promotional price of Rp 3.999.000 in Indonesia, bringing an 8,000 mAh battery into a 5G segment now centered around Rp 4 million. Its regular price for the base model is Rp 4.299.000.
The battery is paired with 45W wired charging through a USB Type-C port. This combination is the handset’s most prominent offering amid higher prices for newly launched 5G phones in the domestic market.
Three Memory Configurations
Tecno offers the Pova 8 5G in three memory and storage configurations. The range extends from 6 GB of RAM with 128 GB of storage to 8 GB of RAM with 256 GB of storage.
| Version | RAM | Storage | Price |
|---|---|---|---|
| Base | 6 GB | 128 GB | Rp 3.999.000 promotional price, Rp 4.299.000 regular price |
| Middle | 8 GB | 128 GB | Rp 4.999.000 |
| Top | 8 GB | 256 GB | Rp 5.599.000 |
The 6 GB/128 GB model is the lowest-priced entry in the series. Buyers seeking more memory or storage can choose either of the two 8 GB RAM versions.
According to launch information reported by Suara.com, the price range for new 5G phones has shifted from the Rp 2 million to Rp 3 million range toward Rp 4 million. Rising production costs have been linked to a shortage of RAM components.
Greater use of memory for artificial intelligence processing has also been cited as a factor behind component scarcity and higher costs. The development has changed competition in the lower-priced 5G phone market.
