TECNO Philippines pulled out all the stops at SM Fairview last weekend for the POVA Gaming Fiesta. This two-day spectacle gathered over 5,000 gamers for the launch of the TECNO POVA 7 Ultra 5G. With a life-size PUBG Mobile battleground as the backdrop, attendees witnessed first-hand the device’s 120FPS gameplay and futuristic light-strip design—cementing TECNO’s ambition to power the country’s growing mobile gaming scene.
Philippines’ First Triple-Crown Gaming Phone
The POVA 7 Ultra 5G is not just another gaming handset—it’s the Philippines’ first triple-crown official esports phone. TECNO secured three major endorsements that validate the phone’s competitive edge:
- Official Device for PUBG Mobile Challenger Leagues SEA 2025 (PMCL) – guaranteeing pro-level frame rate stability in tournaments.
- Exclusive Gaming Partner of the Philippine National Esports Team (SIBOL) – making it the official gaming phone for Filipino athletes in the SEA Games and international competitions.
- Official Gaming Phone for Honor of Kings Philippine Kings League (PKL) – launching later this August.
“With POVA 7 Ultra 5G’s 120FPS precision, our athletes will be more than ready to defend PH pride,” shared SIBOL Team Manager Jeff Victoriano during the event.
TECNO x DITO: Powering Seamless Gaming
TECNO also announced a game-changing collaboration with DITO Telecommunity and PUBG Mobile, introducing the first-ever TECNO x DITO x PUBG Mobile Prepaid Gaming SIM.
The special SIM offers unlimited PUBG Mobile access under select DITO Level Up promos, paired with the POVA 7 Ultra 5G for a lag-free, optimized gaming experience. The launch was highlighted by a surprise performance from P-pop group ALAMAT, adding extra hype to the celebration.

Strengthening its cultural connection, TECNO renewed actress, gamer, and cosplay star Myrtle Sarrosa as POVA Chief Gaming Officer. Dressed as PUBG Mobile’s Spectral Byte skin, Myrtle’s cosplay lit up the venue—mirroring the phone’s glowing light-strip design.
