POVA has expanded the visual lineup of its POVA 8 5G smartphone with the launch of a new “Plasma Orange” color variant that joins the 16-Bit White and Terminal Green colors that were launched back in June. The release brings an updated exterior option to the device, pairing a bright finish with the hardware’s existing angular chassis.
The new edition retains the primary exterior features of the POVA 8 5G, notably the triangular rear camera housing and the secondary “Alive Matrix Display” positioned on the back panel.
This auxiliary display serves several functional and ambient roles: it conveys incoming notifications, battery charge levels, and active timers, and it operates as an ambient desk clock when the device rests face-down on a flat surface.
According to the brand, the introduction of Plasma Orange is aimed at users seeking a more distinct, high-visibility aesthetic rather than standard neutral finishes.
