Refined Design with Youthful Elegance

With a 6.6-inch OLED screen, a sleek flat-edge screen, and a frosted glass back, the Huawei Pura 80 combines sane design with everyday durability.  While the alluring frosted texture provides a tactile experience you have to feel to believe, its sophisticated yet contemporary look exudes a youthful elegance.

Its matte surface is created using sophisticated sandblasting to create a luxurious, skin-friendly feel that offers an anti-fingerprint surface and a pleasant grip.  Frosted Gold, Frosted Black, and Frosted White are three sophisticated color options that offer a new take on contemporary elegance to fit any individual's taste.

Its design incorporates durability with 2nd Generation Kunlun Glass, which provides 20x better drop resistance, maintaining its flawless appearance even under the most demanding conditions.  The Huawei Pura 80's durability and elegance make it a reliable partner for both personal and business use.


Enjoy Power That Lasts, Sound and Visuals That Immerse

Its ability to maintain rigorous routines is packed within its thin profile.  While the 66W Huawei SuperCharge quickly restores the device to full power, the 5170mAh battery powers lengthy days.  Fast charging with less effort is guaranteed with the 50W Wireless SuperCharge for cordless convenience.

The HUAWEI Pura 80's Ultra-Large Amplitude Dual Speakers, which have a 10x larger acoustic chamber and the largest 0.85mm amplitude bottom speaker in the industry, make entertainment feel richer.  This slim-frame design produces a more dynamic sound experience with crisper highs, deeper bass, and more depth.

The Huawei X-True DisplayTM goes above and above with a 460ppi pixel density that creates stunning visuals with realistic detail and accuracy, even if it already offers retinal-grade clarity, accurate color presentation, and amazing brightness.  Adaptively according to surfing needs, the 1–120Hz adaptive refresh rate ensures fluid graphics whether scrolling, streaming, or playing games.  In order to make every scene seem realistic, it also supports HDR, or high dynamic display, which balances light and shadows.  Whether used indoors or out, the HUAWEI Pura 80 screen produces a visually stimulating and engaging experience.

DITO Delivers Superior Network Performance That Turns Filipino Digital Aspirations into Possibilities

From left to right: Atty. Adel Tamano, Chief Revenue Officer; Miriam Choa, Head of Mobile Business; and Jasper Evangelista, Director of Brand Marketing


The telco's most recent campaign, Kaya DITO, had a successful media debut at Manila House in Bonifacio Global City, Taguig, where DITO Telecommunity demonstrated how better connectivity turns Filipino digital dreams into attainable reality.  DITO's ecosystem, which is based on True 5G standalone technology and has been verified by Opensignal, a global leader in mobile analytics and insights, as the Philippines' Fastest Mobile Network, demonstrates that the Filipino telecommunity's demands for seamless network connectivity, value-driven services, and a unified digital experience are not just hypothetical but rather fundamental expectations that challenge the long-standing norms of the telco industry.

“For too long, outages, dropped calls, and overpriced data have been treated as normal. Let us say it bluntly: It is not normal. Every Filipino has limitless potential when equipped with the right tools, and the game is now changing since DITO has joined the fray and taken up the cause to disrupt the status quo—to deliver inclusive, next-gen technology to the  Filipino people. “Kaya DITO!” is our battle cry to symbolically break that cycle, because we truly believe that Filipinos deserve better.” ~Eric Alberto, DITO Telecommunity President


The Telco that Truly Takes Care of its Users 

As the leading telco providing unlimited DITO-to-DITO HD video calls and unli mobile calls, DITO's prepaid solutions solve the annoyance of wasted data with Level-Up Packs using ViLTE technology.  With the addition of Viber and Prime Video, as well as customizable data packages with extended validity periods, users can now make the most of every peso without worrying about data allowances suddenly running out.


The Telco that Offers Value-Packed Postpaid Plans

With its extensive inclusions and abundant data at costs that are affordable for Filipinos, DITOFlexPlan 888 redefines what postpaid should provide.  The fact that these plans, whether SIM-only or device bundles, demonstrate that high-end network performance need not be prohibitively expensive allows consumers to achieve their objectives without sacrificing connectivity.


The Telco that Brings True 5G Home Internet Convenience 

With a connection that is always available and works when you need it, DITO WoWFi Pro 365 simplifies home connections.  For business, education, and pleasure, families can rely on dependable internet without having to deal with complicated installs or data top-ups; network performance makes your digital life at home easier.   You can find out what you've been missing out on by asking any of your friends and family who have already switched from regular WiFi to WoWFi.


The Telco that Built Everything You Need in One App

Designed from the ground up to manage the complete client journey, the DITO App is one of the most complete digital platforms in the business.  Users have complete digital control over everything from SIM and load purchases to account management and a variety of OTT apps. They can manage everything while receiving exclusive perks, like personalized special offers, DITO Rewards points, and round-the-clock customer assistance.

This all-encompassing strategy for next-generation technology demonstrates DITO's general dedication to fulfilling its commitments across all digital touchpoints.  As it continues to propel digital innovation in the Philippines, the nation's fastest-growing telco is committed to preserving its digital edge.

Chief Revenue Officer Atty. Adel Tamano emphasized DITO’s track record. He also shared that instead of asking Filipinos to settle for what’s just available.

“Kinaya Namin. We delivered—and in some areas, exceeded our promises. Every milestone we achieve represents a digital aspiration realized for the ordinary Filipino. DITO has built leadership not through claims, but through comprehensive digital solutions built on proven network performance. We’ve listened to the market and have taken on the challenge of delivering on their digital aspirations. Kaya Mo – we believe every Filipino has the potential to achieve more when equipped with the right tools and services that get them. Kaya Namin– because we have the capabilities, technology, and service excellence to make it happen. And ultimately, we want every Filipino to recognize that they have a superior choice to be part of our growing telecommunity, Kaya, DITO na tayo!” ~Atty. Adel Tamano, Chief Revenue Officer


Built Different from Day One

Capping off the program, Rodolfo “GenBoy” Santiago, DITO Telecommunity Officer, highlighted how the company’s future-ready infrastructure sets DITO apart in delivering on the promise of Kaya DITO.

“From day one, we made the deliberate choice to build a true 5G Standalone network, not just marginal upgrades to legacy systems,” Santiago said. “This decision is what allows us to provide Filipinos with the real 5G experience — faster speeds, lower latency, higher capacity, and maximum reliability.” ~Rodolfo “GenBoy” Santiago, DITO Telecommunity Officer

The TRUE 5G Standalone infrastructure from DITO, which is free of legacy constraints, offers the framework for excellent service across all products.  This technological edge is a definite example of DITO's continued fulfillment of its goal to narrow the digital divide, as demonstrated by OpenSignal's accreditation as the Philippines' fastest network.

This comprehensive and empowering DITO ecosystem has essentially opened the door for Filipinos, regardless of their status or situation in life, to reach out for their dreams and boldly exclaim, "Kaya ko nga dito!"

"This deeper purpose of inspiring ordinary Filipinos to reach out for more and effecting real change—this is what continues to motivate all of us DITO employees." ~Jasper Evangelista, DITO's Brand & Marketing Director

In a short period of time, he claimed, this was the secret to fostering brand loyalty among a tribe of more than 15 million DITOZEN users.  Furthermore, as DITO connects more Filipinos, they are demonstrating that, one empowered subscriber at a time, amazing things occur when performance is driven by purpose.

TECNO Unleashes POVA 7 Ultra 5G, the Philippines’ First Triple-Crown Official Gaming Phone, at POVA Gaming Fiesta



Over 5,000 Filipino gamers were immersed in interactive zones where they experienced first-hand the device's industry-leading 120FPS gameplay and futuristic light-strip design during TECNO Philippines' August 9–10 "POVA Gaming Fiesta," which completely changed SM Fairview into a gamer's paradise and drew record crowds for the explosive launch of the POVA 7 Ultra 5G.




Philippines’ First Triple-crown Esports Phone Redefines Competitive Edge

By obtaining an unparalleled trifecta of esport endorsements, the POVA 7 Ultra 5G immediately met the needs of Filipino players who want tournament-level dependability.  A crucial benefit confirmed by the PMCL Commissioner's live demonstration at the event, the recently released Official Device for PUBG Mobile Challenger Leagues SEA(PMCL) 2025 ensures frame rate consistency during high-stakes professional matches.  Concurrently, the Philippine National Esports Team (SIBOL) and TECNO established a long-term partnership as Exclusive Gaming Partners. The POVA 7 Ultra 5G was named the official gaming phone for SIBOL athletes competing in the SEA Games and Global Esports Championships.




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. 




Together, TECNO, PUBG Mobile, and DITO Mobile have formed the "Perfect Gaming Squad," which gives Filipino mobile players a competitive advantage.  In addition to a DITO Prepaid Gaming SIM, which Opensignal has identified as the Philippines' fastest network, the package includes the TECNO POVA 7 Ultra 5G, the official PUBG Mobile smartphone. DITO guarantees a better gaming experience with less lag and quick loading times.  In addition to receiving the special DITO Prepaid Gaming SIM, subscribers who also subscribe to specific DITO Level Up promotions are granted unrestricted access to PUBG Mobile.  At a reasonable cost, this potent partnership offers unparalleled performance and a top-notch gaming experience.


POVA Chief Gaming Officer Myrtle Sarrosa Bridges Gaming-Cosplay Divide

Retaining multihyphenate icon Myrtle Sarrosa (cosplayer, actor, and gaming queen) as POVA Chief Gaming Officer further solidified TECNO's cultural prominence.  Her new role will solidify hardcore gaming credentials while expanding TECNO's reach into the rapidly growing cosplay scene in the Philippines.  As a visual representation of how the phone combines performance and individual expression, Myrtle wears the newest PUBGM skin, Spectral Byte, with light-strip flares on her clothing and weapon during the offline appearance.  She proclaimed, "POVA 7 Ultra 5G isn’t just a tool, it’s your battle jewelry," exhibiting the designs and light effects of the device that Gen Z attendees enthusiastically praised.


Freebies for All Buyers for TikTok Super Brand Day and Offline Preorder - Buy 1 Get 3!

With Geek White and Geek Black as its official colors, the POVA 7 Ultra 5G costs PhP16,999.  Additionally, this POVA 7 Ultra 5G is available for pre-order in all TECNO stores across the country until August 21. When you order one, you can receive PhP1,000 off the regular retail price of PhP16,999 plus three freebies. You can also use Skyro to receive an extra PhP500 off or Home Credit to receive up to 18 months of interest-free payments of PhP24 per day.


For the freebies, retail store preorder buyers will receive freebies worth PhP1,999 when they buy the POVA 7 Ultra 5G and get 3 items (limited stock) –  1 POVA wireless powerbank (5000mAh), 1 customized DITO Prepaid Gaming SIM for PUBG Mobile, and 1 special edition PUBGM case card.

The fiesta climaxed with fans queueing three-deep at experiential booths, where the Dimensity 8350 chipset’s blistering speed and hyper gaming engine converted skeptics into believers. TECNO POVA 7 Ultra 5G’s triple-crown validation (PMCL/SIBOL/PKL), carrier alliance, and cultural connectivity position it not just as a device, but as the engine of Philippines’ esports ascendancy.
