POVA Gaming Fiesta, TECNO Unveils the First Triple-Crown Official Gaming Phone in the Philippines, the POVA 7 Ultra 5G



On August 9-10, TECNO Philippines transformed SM Fairview into a gamer's paradise with its "POVA Gaming Fiesta," drawing record crowds for the explosive launch of the POVA 7 Ultra 5G. Set against a life-size PUBG Mobile battleground, the event immersed over 5,000 Filipino gamers in interactive zones where they experienced first-hand the device's industry-leading 120FPS gameplay and futuristic light-strip design, solidifying TECNO's commitment to revolutionizing local mob.


Philippines’ First Triple-crown Esports Phone Redefines Competitive Edge

The POVA 7 Ultra 5G received an unprecedented three esports endorsements, directly meeting Filipino gamers' demands for tournament-grade reliability.  As the recently announced Official Device for PUBG Mobile Challenger Leagues SEA (PMCL) 2025, it ensures frame rate consistency during high-stakes professional matches, a significant benefit confirmed by PMCL Commissioner's live demonstration at the event.  Simultaneously, TECNO announced a long-term partnership as the exclusive gaming partner of the Philippine National Esports Team (SIBOL), with the POVA 7 Ultra 5G serving as the official gaming phone for SIBOL athletes at the SEA Games and Global Esports Championships.

The phone has also been pre-certified as the Official Gaming Phone for the Honor of Kings Philippine Kings League (PKL), which will premiere in late August, establishing it as the unquestioned performance baseline across the Philippines' top two mobile esports titles.




Dito Partnership Eradicates Gaming Data Barriers

In a game-changing move for cost-conscious Filipino gamers, TECNO partnered with DITO, the country’s fastest-growing mobile network, to launch the industry-first "TECNO x DITO x PUBG Mobile Prepaid Gaming SIM." in the event. DITO’s brand ambassadors PPOP sensation ALAMAT brought down the house with a surprise performance, announcing the customised SIM releasing. 




DITO Mobile, TECNO, and PUBG Mobile have joined forces to create the "Perfect Gaming Squad," offering Filipino mobile gamers an exclusive bundle with a winning edge.

POVA Chief Gaming Officer Myrtle Sarrosa Bridges Gaming-Cosplay Divide

TECNO reaffirmed its cultural relevance by appointing Myrtle Sarrosa (actress/gaming queen/cosplay celebrity) as POVA Chief Gaming Officer.  Her new role will strengthen TECNO's presence in the Philippines' burgeoning cosplay scene while also bolstering hardcore gaming credentials.  During her offline presentation, Myrtle dressed in the newest PUBGM skin, Spectral Byte, with light-strip flares on her costume and weapon, creating a visual metaphor for how the phone combines performance and personal expression.  "POVA 7 Ultra 5G isn't just a tool, it's your battle jewelry," she stated, demonstrating the device's light effects and patterns, which elicited roars of appreciation from Gen Z participants.
