AI-driven technology brand TECNO has officially launched the TECNO SPARK Slim in the Philippines, priced at PhP9,499. As the world’s slimmest curved-screen smartphone, the SPARK Slim redefines balance between style, power, and durability. It combines a large 5160mAh battery, ultra-thin body, and military-grade certification, proving that a sleek form can still deliver endurance and strength.
Slim Yet Powerful: Performance Meets Ultra-Thin Design
The TECNO SPARK Slim stands out as the world’s thinnest curved-screen smartphone, measuring only 5.93mm. This engineering achievement is made possible by TECNO’s honeycomb space stacking technology, which optimizes 12% of internal space. The design reduces the size of eight major components, including the battery, cooling system, and motherboard, while maintaining full performance in an ultra-slim body.
The SPARK Slim is powered by a 5160mAh high-density lithium cobalt oxide battery that offers up to 24.8 hours of Day of Use. It supports 45W fast charging, 10W reverse charging, and bypass charging for greater efficiency. The battery maintains long-term durability and resists swelling, ensuring that the device retains its endurance even after extended use.
To prevent overheating during demanding use, TECNO integrates a 0.3mm vapor chamber and a graphite layer with thermal performance of 1800W/m·K. Together, they form a 24,532mm² cooling system that keeps the device cool during charging and gaming.
Performance is powered by the new MediaTek Helio G200 chipset, offering a balance between power and energy efficiency. The chipset has TÜV-certified fluency for up to five years, ensuring stable and consistent performance over time. This setup allows users to enjoy smooth multitasking, gaming, and media use without compromise.
Slim Yet Durable: Military-Grade Strength and Reliable Build
Despite its slim form, the SPARK Slim maintains exceptional durability. The device features a 0.36mm aerospace-grade fiberglass back cover, which is 0.19mm thinner than conventional materials but improves strength by 300% and flexibility by 200%.
Its screen is protected by Corning Gorilla Glass 7i, offering reliable scratch and impact resistance. The smartphone is also IP64-rated, providing resistance against dust and water splashes. This combination of materials ensures that the SPARK Slim can withstand daily wear while maintaining its sleek look.
Slim Yet Stylish: Designed for Youthful Expression
The TECNO SPARK Slim embodies the vibrant style of the SPARK series. It comes in Slim White and Cool Black, offering timeless color options that match modern fashion. Weighing only 156g, the device has an ultra-narrow frame with curved edges for a comfortable grip.
A standout feature is the Mood Light design on the back panel. It includes two circular “eyes” that light up with different effects during power on, charging, calls, and notifications. These lights display moods such as happy, not happy, or blinking, giving users a fun and expressive way to interact with their phones. For Gen Z users, this transforms notifications into a form of personal expression.
The SPARK Slim also provides an advanced visual experience. Its 1.5K curved display delivers sharp clarity and smooth motion with a 144Hz refresh rate. With peak brightness reaching 4500 nits, users can enjoy clear visuals even under bright outdoor light.
Elevated Experiences with TECNO AI
TECNO integrates advanced AI tools to support productivity and creativity. The SPARK Slim includes features such as real-time translation, document summarization, and AI photo repair. With Touch Transfer via NFC, users can share images and files instantly between TECNO devices.
Entertainment is enhanced by Dolby dual stereo speakers, while dual system support ensures both productivity and leisure tasks run smoothly. TECNO also includes its proprietary “FreeLink” technology, allowing direct Bluetooth messaging and two-way calls even without mobile coverage. This function is valuable in remote areas or offline environments.
Gaming and Connectivity Partnerships
TECNO has partnered with the popular mobile game Honor of Kings (HOK) to showcase the device’s gaming potential. Powered by the MediaTek Helio G200, the SPARK Slim provides reliable performance for Filipino gamers who want fluid gameplay in a slim smartphone.
TECNO also partnered with TM, a mobile service under Globe Telecom, to offer a free co-branded SIM card. The SIM includes up to 25GB of free data and customized data for HOK, giving users an optimized gaming experience from day one.
