TECNO Philippines presents the TECNO SPARK Slim, the world's smallest 3D-curved AI phone, with prices starting at PhP7,599

The world's slimmest curved-screen smartphone, the TECNO SPARK Slim, will officially launch in the Philippines today and retail for PhP9,499, according to a formal announcement made by TECNO, a leading AI technology company.   By combining a massive 5160mAh battery with an ultra-slim design that satisfies military sector certification, SPARK Slim defies conventional trade-offs to guarantee overall longevity.

While its aerospace-grade fiberglass back cover makes it stronger but thinner, the device's lightweight body and smart 3D-curved profile maintain the youthful, colorful, and trendy DNA of the SPARK series.   The expressive, world-first Mood Light design adds an interactive, playful aspect that speaks to youthful inventiveness, while vibrant color selections further highlight uniqueness.   SPARK Slim provides a premium experience that surpasses expectations within its price range by fusing substance, style, and slimness.

Slim Yet Powerful: Redefining the Balance Between Ultra-Thin Design and Lasting Performance 

The TECNO SPARK Slim, the world's tiniest curved-screen smartphone, debuts at just 5.93mm.   TECNO's breakthrough honeycomb space stacking technology, which optimizes 12% of internal space and makes it possible to eliminate eight crucial components—from the motherboard to the battery and cooling system—while maintaining the device's overall thinness, is responsible for this accomplishment.

Despite its extremely thin design, the SPARK Slim's 5160mAh high-density lithium cobalt oxide battery offers up to 24.8 hours of Day of Use (DOU). It also supports 45W rapid charging, 10W reverse charging, and bypass charging. Because this novel battery solution resists swelling even after prolonged use, it proves that being thin does not necessarily translate into having poor endurance.

In order to build a 24,532mm² cooling system that guarantees sustained performance under challenging conditions, SPARK Slim integrates a 0.3mm ultra-thin vapor chamber and a high-conductivity graphite layer with a thermal performance of 1800W/m·K. This allows for consistent charging and gaming performance while keeping the device cool in its exceptionally thin casing.

This strong foundation of power and thermal stability is expanded upon by the new MediaTek Helio G200 chipset in SPARK Slim.   With a design that balances efficiency and performance, it ensures smooth everyday use and offers up to five years of TÜV-certified fluency, giving users long-term stability and confidence in their device.

Slim Yet Durable: Reliability backed by Military-Grade Standards

While achieving extreme slimness, TECNO SPARK Slim does not compromise on durability. Its 0.36mm aerospace-grade fiberglass back cover is 0.19mm thinner than conventional materials yet improves strength by 300% and flexibility by 200%. 

The screen is protected by Corning® Gorilla® Glass 7i, while the entire device is IP64 rated against dust and water, ensuring peace of mind for everyday use. 

Slim Yet Stylish: Lighting Up Individual Expression

The TECNO SPARK Slim's two iconic colors, Slim White and Cool Black, lend classic style to current fashion trends.   The device has a beautiful slim grip that feels attractive and comfortable in the hand, and it weighs only 156g thanks to its ultra-narrow frame and exquisite curves.

The dynamic Mood Light design on the rear of SPARK Slim, in addition to its exceptionally thin appearance, features two circular "eyes" that imitate emotions using multi-scene lighting effects.   The eyes display humorous light animations that represent emotions like as happiness, dissatisfaction, or blinking when powering on and off, charging, receiving calls, turning on Ella, and receiving notifications.   As a result, the smartphone becomes a stylish everyday companion and a platform for Gen Z users to display their personalities, turning practical alerts into a unique way to express themselves.

Beyond playful interaction, SPARK Slim also delivers an exceptional viewing experience. Its 1.5K high-resolution curved display offers immersive clarity, reaching 4500 nits peak brightness and supporting a 144Hz refresh rate for ultra-smooth responsiveness, ensuring vivid visuals even in bright outdoor conditions.

Elevated Experiences with TECNO AI and Beyond

Through the integration of TECNO AI, SPARK Slim provides real-time translation, document summarizing, and AI photo rectification, empowering young people in their education, employment, and creative production.   Customers may now easily connect two TECNO devices by tapping them together to transfer files, movies, or photos thanks to Touch Transfer.   With dual system compatibility and Dolby dual stereo speakers, the tablet provides even more enjoyment and productivity.

The device also features TECNO's best-in-class "FreeLink" technology, which enables direct Bluetooth-based messaging and two-way conversations even when cellular coverage is unavailable. This functionality is essential in distant or offline circumstances.

Powering Up Gaming and Connectivity

TECNO SPARK SLIM has teamed up with the hit local game Honor of Kings (HOK). Powered by the capable MediaTek Helio G200 chipset, TECNO SPARK SLIM empowers the local gaming community, proving that it offers not just a slim profile but also reliable daily gaming performance. Furthermore, TECNO partnered with TM Cellular Service, a brand under Globe Telecom offering mobile services to its customers. TECNO will offer a free TECNO x TM x HOK co-branded SIM card, which includes exclusive free up to 25GB data, and customized data for HOK, enhancing the out-of-the-box gaming experience for users.

Accessible Pricing and Launch Offers

The TECNO SPARK Slim will be available starting October 8 both online and offline, with an official price of PhP9,499. From October 8 to 10, enjoy discounted first sale price of PhP7,999PhP on Shopee and TikTok Shop. Buyers will receive a free TM SIM card of equal value with their purchase. Additionally, customers who purchase at designated TECNO offline stores during the month of October and use Spaylater for installment payments can enjoy a 20% discount, making the TECNO SPARK Slim even more affordable at PhP7,599. This makes it an excellent and smart choice for an early Christmas gift. Buyers who pay through HomeCredit, Skyro and soon through Kredivo, will enjoy 0% interest on their installment purchase.

 

With the launch of SPARK Slim, TECNO once again proves that slim and powerful can co-exist. As the world’s thinnest curved-screen smartphone, SPARK Slim not only pushes the boundaries of innovative engineering power with its 5.93mm body, but also delivers beyond-class ultra-slim experiences with uncompromising endurance and performance. It delivers a practical, stylish, and easy-to-use ultra-slim experience for users who refuse to be boxed in and want to express themselves at any moment.
