TECNO Unveils POVA 7 Ultra 5G, the First Triple-Crown Official Gaming Phone in the Philippines, at Exciting POVA Gaming Fiesta
Last August 9-10, TECNO Philippines transformed SM Fairview into a gaming paradise with its "POVA Gaming Fiesta." The two-day event was a massive success, engaging over 5,000 gaming enthusiasts with a life-sized PUBG Mobile battlefield and interactive zones that showcased TECNO's commitment to the local mobile gaming scene.
A Festival of Firsts
The fiesta served as the stage for several groundbreaking announcements that are set to redefine mobile gaming in the Philippines.
- Triple-Crown Endorsement: The event was highlighted by the introduction of the POVA 7 Ultra 5G, which was unveiled as the first-ever "Triple-Crown Official Gaming Phone." This title was cemented through its endorsements as the Official Device for PUBG Mobile Challenger Leagues SEA (PMCL) 2025, the Official Gaming Device for the Philippine National Esports Team (SIBOL), and the Official Gaming Phone for the Honor of Kings Philippine Kings League (PKL).
- A Groundbreaking Partnership: In a first for budget-conscious Filipino gamers, TECNO joined forces with DITO to launch the "TECNO x DITO x PUBG Mobile Prepaid Gaming SIM." PPOP sensation ALAMAT and DITO's brand ambassadors made a surprise appearance to announce the custom SIM, which provides unlimited PUBG Mobile access to subscribers.
- The Power of Cosplay: The gaming fiesta also celebrated the culture of gaming with the re-appointment of Myrtle Sarrosa as POVA Chief Gaming Officer. Her appearance, wearing a costume that reflected the phone’s unique light-strip design, underscored the connection between gaming performance and personal expression. As she put it, the device is "not just a device, it's your battle jewelry."
The event culminated with a massive turnout at experiential booths, where the phone's Dimensity 8350 chipset and hyper gaming engine were put to the test, converting skeptics into believers. The POVA Gaming Fiesta was not just a product launch but a vibrant showcase of the driving force behind the Philippines' esports rise.
