TECNO introduces its newest smartphone in the Philippines, the SPARK Slim, which the company claims as the world’s slimmest curved-screen phone. It officially retails for PHP 9,499, offering a slim yet durable design backed by a large 5160mAh battery and 45W fast charging.
Why It Matters: The SPARK Slim marks TECNO’s latest push to bring flagship-style design and engineering to a more affordable price point. The phone’s mix of slim construction, long battery life, and youth-oriented aesthetics aims to attract budget-conscious users looking for both style and functionality.
The TECNO SPARK Slim measures just 5.93mm thick, made possible by the brand’s honeycomb space stacking technology that reduces internal space usage while maintaining component strength. Despite its slimness, it houses a 5160mAh high-density battery that supports 45W fast charging, 10W reverse charging, and bypass charging. The battery uses lithium cobalt oxide to resist swelling even after prolonged use.
To manage heat, it includes a 0.3mm vapor chamber and a high-conductivity graphite layer for cooling performance of 1800W/m·K, ensuring stability for gaming and fast charging. It is powered by the MediaTek Helio G200 chipset with TÜV certification for up to five years of smooth performance.
The SPARK Slim’s durability is enhanced by its 0.36mm aerospace-grade fiberglass back cover, which is thinner yet stronger than typical materials. It also has Corning Gorilla Glass 7i protection and carries an IP64 dust and water resistance rating.
For display, the phone features a 1.5K curved screen with up to 4500 nits peak brightness and a 144Hz refresh rate. The new Mood Light design adds interactive lighting effects that respond to calls, charging, and notifications, appealing to Gen Z users who value personalization.
It weighs around 156g and comes in two colors: Slim White and Cool Black.
The SPARK Slim also includes TECNO AI features such as real-time translation, document summarization, and AI photo repair. It supports NFC-based Touch Transfer for quick file sharing between TECNO devices. It also has Dolby dual stereo speakers and FreeLink technology for Bluetooth-based communication even without cellular coverage.
Gamers can take advantage of the Helio G200’s power, with TECNO partnering with the popular title Honor of Kings to optimize gameplay. Buyers will also receive a free TM SIM card with up to 25GB of data for the game.
