Tecno has officially announced that the Tecno Pova Slim 5G will launch in India on September 4 at 12 noon. The company is promoting it as the world’s slimmest 3D curved display 5G smartphone. This launch comes just before Apple’s upcoming iPhone 17 Air, which is also rumored to have an ultra-thin design.
Inspired by Concept Design
Earlier this year at MWC in Barcelona, Tecno showcased a concept phone named Tecno Spark Slim, which was only 5.75mm thick. The Pova Slim 5G seems to be closely inspired by that concept, hinting that Tecno may have transformed the design into a commercial model for the Indian market.
If the reports are accurate, the device will feature the same 5.75mm slim profile, making it slimmer than Samsung’s Galaxy S25 Edge. However, Apple’s upcoming iPhone 17 Air might surpass it with an even thinner design of around 5.5mm.
Expected Specifications of Tecno Pova Slim 5G
The Tecno Pova Slim 5G is expected to come with a 6.78-inch OLED display supporting up to 144Hz refresh rate. Despite its incredibly slim frame, the smartphone is rumored to house a 5,200mAh battery, which is impressive for such a sleek design.
On the camera front, it will likely feature a 50MP primary camera, though more details about the additional sensors are yet to be revealed.
Design Highlights
The teaser image shared by Tecno reveals a curved frame design in white color with a distinct horizontal camera island. The setup includes dual cameras, an LED flash, and a unique white LED strip that the company calls “Dynamic Mood Light.” This feature activates during calls, notifications, and other alerts, enhancing both style and usability.
Software and AI Features
The Tecno Pova Slim 5G is expected to run on HiOS 15 based on Android 15. Tecno is also integrating AI-powered features such as the Ella AI assistant, Circle to Search, and an AI Writing Assistant, aiming to provide a smarter and more intuitive user experience.
Final Thoughts
The Tecno Pova Slim 5G is shaping up to be an exciting release in India, especially for users who value sleek design combined with strong performance. With its ultra-slim body, curved display, powerful battery, and AI-driven software, this smartphone could set new standards in the mid-range 5G segment.
