Tecno signed a deal with Italian lifestyle brand Tonino Lamborghini back in March. The Pova Metal edition came first. Now the Pova 8 Pro has been given the same treatment, and it’s already on sale in Thailand.
Nothing inside the phone has changed
The Pova 8 Pro Tonino Lamborghini Limited Edition has identical specs to the standard Pova 8 Pro, with only cosmetic differences between the two. Same chip, same screen, same battery, same cameras. If you were hoping the branded version came with extra performance, it doesn’t.
What the styling adds on the outside
The phone comes in Tonino Lamborghini Black, with red accents ringing the triangular camera module that holds two sensors, an LED flash and the matrix display. The power button is red as well. Running down the middle of the back is a red “Pulse Line” with a pattern that shifts as light moves across it, finished with a metallic embossed Tonino Lamborghini logo. It measures 7.39mm thick and weighs 189 grams.
The software gets its own theme
Boot animation, lock screen, live wallpaper, icons and widgets are all custom to this edition, and the Alive Matrix Display gets its own effects. That’s on HiOS 16, based on Android 16.
