Tecno, the Chinese smartphone manufacturer known for budget-friendly devices, is reportedly preparing to launch an ultra-slim flagship phone in India by the end of 2025. The upcoming device, believed to be the Tecno Spark Slim, is expected to feature a remarkable thickness of just 5.95 mm and could be priced around ₹80,000, signaling Tecno’s push into premium smartphone territory.
From Concept to Commercial Device
The Tecno Spark Slim was initially showcased as a concept phone at the Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2025, touted as the “world’s thinnest smartphone” with an even slimmer 5.75 mm thickness. The upcoming commercial version is reported to measure 5.95 mm thick—still impressively slim for a modern smartphone—while incorporating a large 5,200mAh battery, a combination that is quite rare in ultra-slim devices.
Design Inspired by iPhone 17 Air
According to leaks and early reports, the Spark Slim sports a design reminiscent of the upcoming iPhone 17 Air, featuring an extended camera bar at the top of the back panel. The camera bump houses a dual rear camera setup accompanied by a futuristic “breathing light.” The back is likely made of glossy glass with a curved form factor and rounded edges for an elegant, premium feel.
Despite its slim profile, the handset is expected to retain a noticeable camera bump, emphasizing the use of advanced optics inside a sleek body.
Expected Specifications
Based on available information and prototype details, the key specifications of the Tecno Spark Slim include:
- A large 6.78-inch 1.5K AMOLED display with 144Hz refresh rate and peak brightness up to 4,500 nits.
- Dual rear cameras with a 50 MP primary sensor and a 13 MP front-facing selfie camera.
- A battery capacity of 5,200mAh that supports 45W fast USB-C charging.
These specifications suggest that the Spark Slim might be Tecno’s first true flagship offering under the Spark moniker, which traditionally denotes the brand’s budget segment.
Pricing and Market Position
The device is rumored to be priced around ₹80,000 in India, setting it in the premium tier—significantly higher than Tecno’s usual budget and mid-range phones. If the pricing and features align as rumored, Tecno could appeal to users looking for an ultra-slim premium smartphone with a focus on design and battery life.
What’s Next?
As the information is still in the early leak stages, potential buyers should await official announcements from Tecno later this year or early 2026. The launch could mark Tecno’s strategic entry into the competitive slim flagship segment, currently dominated by brands offering sleek phones with high-end specs and powerful cameras.
