TECNO has officially unveiled the CAMON Slim 5G, bringing 5G connectivity to its ultra-slim CAMON lineup. The smartphone combines a 6.39mm body with a 6,000mAh battery, 144Hz 1.5K AMOLED display and 50MP Sony LYTIA 700C camera. The phone made its first global market debut in Bangladesh, while TECNO has now announced its wider global rollout. For Indian buyers, the biggest question is still unanswered: when will it arrive in India, and at what price?
Price And Launch
- The CAMON Slim 5G made its global market debut in Bangladesh, where reports put the 8GB+256GB model at BDT 59,999.
- TECNO has announced the phone globally on September 7, 2026, but has not revealed an official India price or sale date.
- It comes in 8GB+128GB and 8GB+256GB configurations, with colours including Matisse Black, Van Gogh Blue, Burgundy Red, Gossamer White, Neo Mondrian and Rebel Pink.
- Our India take: If TECNO maintains the Bangladesh positioning, the phone could target India's upper budget/mid range 5G segment rather than competing directly with premium ultra-slim flagships.
6.39mm Body Packs A Surprisingly Big Battery
The headline achievement is the combination of a 6.39mm-thin body and 6,000mAh battery.
- 6.78-inch 1.5K AMOLED display
- 144Hz refresh rate
- 2,160Hz PWM dimming
- 190g lightweight body
- 45W charging
- IP66, IP68, IP69 and IP69K protection
- MIL-STD-810 durability certification
The unusual part is that TECNO has increased battery capacity over the 4G CAMON Slim while keeping the same slim 6.39mm profile. However, charging drops from 60W on the 4G model to 45W here.
Sony Camera And Dimensity 7300e Lead The Hardware
The CAMON Slim 5G gets a 50MP Sony LYTIA 700C main camera with OIS, accompanied by an 8MP autofocus ultrawide camera and a 32MP selfie camera.
- Dimensity 7300e 5G chipset
- 8GB RAM with extended RAM support
- Up to 256GB storage
- Android 16 with HiOS 16
- Dual stereo speakers with Dolby Atmos
- NFC, IR blaster and USB Type-C
TECNO is also adding AI EIS, AI Shutter, Universal Tone, LightMaster 2.0 and FlashSnap features aimed at improving portraits, low-light shots and moving subjects.
The India Angle Is More Interesting Than It Looks
TECNO is promising three Android upgrades and five years of security updates, which gives the CAMON Slim 5G a stronger long-term proposition than many phones in its segment.
The phone also brings unusual extras for a slim smartphone, including underwater photography, Rain Touch, wet-hand operation, FreeLink 2.0 and three years of TECNO Cloud in supported markets.
For Indian buyers, however, the key detail is still missing: TECNO has not confirmed the India launch date or price. That makes the eventual Indian pricing the deciding factor especially because the phone sacrifices 15W of charging speed compared with its 4G sibling while gaining 5G and a larger battery.
