Tecno has launched the Spark Slim in the Kenyan market, the thinnest curved-screen smartphone in the world, with a mere 5.93mm in thickness. It will retail at Ksh 27,999 exclusive of VAT.
Spark Slim defies traditional trade-offs by combining an ultra-slim design that passes military sector certification with a huge 5160mAh battery.
Maintaining the SPARK series’ youthful, colorful, and fashionable DNA, the device’s lightweight body and
sophisticated 3D-curved profile provide a comfortable in-hand feel, while its aerospace-grade fiberglass rear cover
makes it stronger but thinner. Vibrant color selections further emphasize uniqueness, and the expressive Mood
Light design adds an interactive, playful element that speaks to youthful imagination. By combining substance,
style, and slimness, SPARK Slim offers a high-end experience that goes above and beyond what is expected in its
price range.
At only 5.93mm, the TECNO SPARK Slim makes its debut as the smallest curved-screen smartphone in the world.
TECNO’s innovative honeycomb space stacking technique, which maximizes 12% of internal space and makes it
possible to reduce down eight essential components—from the motherboard to the battery and cooling system—
while keeping the device thin overall, is responsible for this accomplishment.
The 5160mAh high-density lithium cobalt oxide battery that powers the SPARK Slim provides up to 24.8 hours of
Day of Use (DOU) despite its incredibly thin design. Additionally, it allows bypass charging, 10W reverse charging,
and 45W rapid charging. This innovative battery solution demonstrates that being thin does not equate to having
poor endurance because it resists swelling even after extended use.
A 0.3mm ultra-thin vapor chamber and a high-conductivity graphite layer with a thermal performance of
1800W/m•K are integrated into SPARK Slim to create a 24,532mm² cooling system that ensures continuous
performance even under demanding conditions. This keeps the gadget cool in its incredibly thin shell while
enabling steady charging and gaming performance.
The new MediaTek Helio G200 chipset in SPARK Slim builds upon this solid base of power and thermal stability.
With a design that strikes a mix between performance and efficiency, it guarantees seamless daily use and has
TÜV-certified fluency for up to five years, providing consumers with long-term stability and assurance in their
gadget.
The TECNO SPARK Slim maintains durability without sacrificing exceptional thinness. Its 0.36mm aerospace-grade fiberglass back cover is 200% more flexible and 300% stronger than traditional materials, yet being 0.19mm
thinner.
Corning® Gorilla® Glass 7i protects the screen, and the gadget is IP64 rated against water and dust, so you can use
it with confidence every day.
Slim White and Cool Black are two classic hues of SPARK Slim that infuse classic elegance into contemporary
fashion trends. With its ultra-narrow frame and elegant curves, the device weighs just 156g and has a wonderful
slender grip that feels elegant and comfortable in the hand.
Aside from its incredibly thin appearance, SPARK Slim has an interactive Mood Light design on the back with two
circular “eyes” that use multi-scene lighting effects to simulate emotions. In situations like turning on and off the
power, charging, receiving calls, activating Ella, and receiving notifications, the eyes exhibit amusing light
animations that convey emotions like happiness, discontent, or blinking. This makes the device a fashionable daily
companion and a means of showcasing personality for Gen Z users, transforming useful notifications into a
distinctive form of fashionable self-expression.
In addition to providing entertaining interaction, SPARK Slim offers a remarkable visual experience. With a
maximum brightness of 4500 nits and a refresh rate of 144 Hz for incredibly smooth responsiveness, its 1.5K high
resolution curved display provides immersive clarity and vibrant visuals even in bright outdoor settings.
By integrating TECNO AI, SPARK Slim empowers young people in their study, work, and creative output by offering real-time translation, document summary, and AI photo correction. With the addition of Touch Transfer,
customers may effortlessly link two TECNO devices by simply tapping them together to share data, films, or
photographs. The tablet offers enhanced entertainment and productivity with dual system support and Dolby dual
stereo speakers, further augmenting the experience.
A crucial feature in remote or offline settings, the gadget also boasts TECNO’s best-in-class “FreeLink” technology,
which allows two-way talks and direct Bluetooth-based messaging even in the absence of cellular coverage.
