RogerKart Expert Take: is Pova 8 5G worth buying?

Written by RogerKart, not copied from store reviews

Buy the Pova 8 for its battery and its design, not for its screen, camera or speed. Owners and reviews report a day and a half to two days of normal use from the 8000mAh cell, and the rear light panel is fun for quick notification checks. The trade-offs are real: an LCD instead of AMOLED, one main speaker, no ultrawide camera, no 4K video, no headphone jack, slower UFS 2.2 storage and a Dimensity 7100 chip that is a step down from the Pova 7's. Most owners call it overpriced for these specs, so compare it with the alternatives below before you pay. Don't confuse it with the Pova 8 Pro, which is a different phone.

✓ Buy it if

✓You are out all day and want a phone that easily lasts into the next day without charging
✓You want a phone that stands out, and the light-up rear panel for calls and notifications appeals to you
✓You want NFC, an IR blaster and IP64 dust and splash protection in one phone
✓You like smooth software with AI extras (HiOS 16 on Android 16) and don't mind removing some preinstalled apps and turning off App Centre notifications

✕ Skip it if

✕You watch a lot of video outdoors: reviewers found the LCD screen dim and washed out in sunlight, and Netflix does not play in HDR
✕You shoot group photos, landscapes or 4K video: there is no ultrawide camera and video tops out at 2K 30fps
✕You play heavy games for long sessions: reviewers found it heats up, and games like Genshin Impact default to low settings
✕You use wired earphones or plan to keep the phone for 4+ years: there is no 3.5mm jack, and it gets only two Android upgrades and three years of security updates

Frequently asked questions

What is the cheapest price of Pova 8 5G today?

Pova 8 5G is ₹29,999 on Flipkart today. We checked it on 14 Nov 2026, 1:54 am.

Is the Pova 8 5G the same as the Pova 8 Pro?

No. The Pova 8 Pro is a separate model with a Dimensity 7400 chip and a different screen. This page covers the Pova 8 5G with the Dimensity 7100 and an LCD screen.

Does the 144Hz display actually run at 144Hz in apps and games?

Mostly no. Reviewers found 144Hz only in a few system apps such as Messages, Phone and Settings; most other apps run lower, and games are capped at 120Hz.

Does it have stereo speakers?

Probably not. Some spec sheets, such as GSMArena's, list stereo speakers with Dolby Atmos, but Gadgets360 and ReviewIIN found a single bottom-firing speaker with the earpiece adding very little. Check a demo unit in store if this matters to you.

Pova 7 Pro vs Pova 8: which should I buy?

Pick the Pova 8 if battery life and the rear light panel matter most. Owners on spec-site forums call the Pova 8 a downgrade from the Pova 7 series, which used the faster Dimensity 7300 Ultimate chip, so if speed matters more, the older model is worth comparing.

Is the Pova 8 better than the Poco X8 Pro?

Only if battery life and design are your top priorities. Many buyers who find the Pova 8 overpriced point to the Poco X8 Pro as better value for a little more money, so compare the screen, chip and camera of both before you decide.

Does the Pova 8 5G have a headphone jack or water resistance?

There is no 3.5mm headphone jack, so you need USB-C or Bluetooth earphones. It is rated IP64: dust tight and splash resistant, but not made to go under water.

What owners say

What buyers love, and what they wish were better.

What they like

✓The 8000mAh battery easily lasts a day and a half of everyday use, and light users stretch it to two days
✓The bold design, with the rear light panel that shows notifications, light effects and mini-games
✓HiOS 16 feels smooth day to day, with useful AI features
✓Daylight photos from the 50MP main camera have natural colours

What they complain about

✕Feels overpriced for an LCD screen, one main speaker and a plastic back and frame
✕The 144Hz mode shows up in only a few system apps, games run at up to 120Hz, and scrolling shows some smearing
✕Some stutter when scrolling YouTube Shorts, and one review saw charging top out near 25W, well below the 45W claim
✕Heavy at 225g, with preinstalled apps and spammy App Centre notifications out of the box
