Build materials include a front glass (Corning Gorilla Glass 7i) and a fiberglass back, contributing to both premium feel and durability. Gizmochina+1
Additional durability credentials: The phone carries an IP64 water and dust resistance rating and has passed some “military-grade” shock tests, making it more rugged than typical slim phones. Tecno+1

🔋 Battery & Charging

Despite being very thin, the POVA Slim packs a 5,160 mAh battery, which is impressive given the slim form factor. AkonMobiLe+1
For charging, it supports 45 W wired fast charging, and also offers 10 W reverse wired charging (allowing you to charge other devices) and “bypass charging” to protect battery health during use/gaming. Computer Vision BD+1
TECNO claims the battery is rated for more than 2,000 charge cycles and should retain over 80% capacity after 5 years — indicating a long-term reliability focus. Tecno
