The race for the slimmest smartphone is heating up. While Samsung and Apple prepare their contenders, the Galaxy S25 Edge and iPhone 17 Air respectively, Tecno has thrown its hat into the ring with the Spark Slim, a concept phone measuring a mere 5.75mm thick. This innovative device boasts impressive specs, positioning it firmly in the upper mid-range segment. However, Tecno emphasizes the Spark Slim’s concept status, acknowledging it may not reach commercial release.
Impressive Specs in a Sleek Design
The Spark Slim’s dual rear camera system features two 50-megapixel sensors. A 13-megapixel front camera resides within a punch-hole cutout on the phone’s stunning 6.78-inch curved OLED display. This display boasts a 1.5K resolution, a smooth 144Hz refresh rate, and an astounding peak brightness of 4,500 nits, significantly surpassing even the iPhone 16 Pro Max.
Powerful Performance and Battery Life
The device is powered by an undisclosed octa-core processor, with RAM and storage specifications yet to be revealed. Perhaps the most surprising feature is its robust 5,200 mAh battery. This capacity outperforms the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra’s 5,000 mAh battery, despite the latter being considerably thicker at 8.6mm.
Furthermore, the Spark Slim supports 45W wired charging, rivaling Samsung’s flagship phones and exceeding Apple’s current offerings.
Anticipating MWC
Tecno plans to unveil more details about the Spark Slim at Mobile World Congress (MWC). MaagX will be on-site, hoping to get hands-on with the device and bring you the latest updates.
Conclusion
The Tecno Spark Slim represents a bold step in smartphone design, pushing the boundaries of thinness while maintaining impressive hardware. While its concept status leaves its future uncertain, it undoubtedly showcases Tecno’s innovative spirit and sets a high bar for upcoming slim smartphone contenders. Stay tuned for more information from MWC.
