Defying conventional trade-offs, SPARK Slim combines a massive 5160mAh battery with an ultra-slim profile, passing military industry certification to ensure all-around durability.

Carrying forward the youthful, vibrant, and stylish DNA of the SPARK series, its aerospace-grade fibreglass back cover makes the device thinner yet stronger, while the elegant 3D-curved profile and lightweight body ensure a comfortable in-hand feel. 

The expressive Mood Light design adds an interactive, playful element that resonates with youthful creativity, while vibrant colour options further highlight individuality. With this fusion of slimness, style, and substance, SPARK Slim delivers a premium experience that exceeds expectations within its price segment.

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

TECNO SPARK Slim debuts as the world’s thinnest curved-screen smartphone at just 5.93mm. This feat is made possible through TECNO’s breakthrough honeycomb space stacking technology, which optimises 12% of internal space and enables the slimming of eight core components, from the battery and cooling system to the motherboard, while maintaining overall device slimness.

Despite its ultra-thin frame, SPARK Slim incorporates a 5160 mAh high-density lithium cobalt oxide battery that delivers up to 24.8 hours of Day of Use (DOU). It also supports 45W fast charging, 10W reverse charging, and bypass charging technologies. This unique battery solution resists swelling even after prolonged use, proving that slim does not mean weak in endurance.

To ensure sustained performance during heavy usage, SPARK Slim integrates a 0.3mm ultra-thin vapour chamber and a high-conductivity graphite layer with a thermal performance of 1800W/m·K, together forming a 24,532mm² cooling system. This enables stable charging and gaming performance while keeping the device cool in such an exceptionally slim body.

Building on this strong foundation of power and thermal stability, SPARK Slim is equipped with the new MediaTek Helio G200 chipset. Designed to balance efficiency with performance, it ensures smooth everyday use and comes with TÜV-certified fluency for up to five years, 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 fibreglass 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

SPARK Slim comes in two timeless colourways: Slim White and Cool Black, bringing classic elegance into modern fashion trends. Weighing around 156g and featuring an ultra-narrow frame with graceful curves, the device offers a superb slim grip that feels refined and comfortable in the hand.

In addition to its ultra-slim aesthetics, SPARK Slim introduces an interactive Mood Light design on the back, featuring two circular “eyes” that mimic emotions through multi-scene lighting effects. In scenarios such as power on/off, charging, incoming calls, Ella activation, and notifications, the eyes display playful light animations, expressing moods like happy, not happy, or blinking.

For Gen Z users, this transforms functional notifications into a unique form of fashionable self-expression, turning the device into both a stylish daily companion and a tool to showcase individuality.

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

SPARK Slim integrates TECNO AI, providing real-time translation, document summarisation, and AI photo repair, empowering young users in learning, work, and creative output. With the addition of Touch Transfer, users can instantly share images, videos, or files between two TECNO devices with just a tap via NFC, providing seamless connectivity.

Further enhancing the experience, the device features Dolby dual stereo speakers and dual system support, delivering enriched entertainment and productivity.

The device also features TECNO’s best-in-class “FreeLink” technology, enabling direct Bluetooth-based messaging and two-way calls even without cellular coverage, which is an essential feature in remote or offline environments.

With the launch of SPARK Slim, TECNO once again proves that slim and powerful can coexist. As the world’s thinnest curved-screen smartphone, SPARK Slim not only pushes the boundaries of innovative engineering power with its 5.93 mm body but also delivers beyond-class ultra-slim experiences with uncompromising endurance and performance.

The event, set to start at 5 p.m. WAT (10 a.m. PT), promises a lineup led by the iPhone 17 series, including a radically thinner model which is a design shift for the company.

The new iPhone 17 lineup will feature a standard edition, iPhone 17 Pro, Pro Max, and the all-new iPhone 17 Air, which replaces the previous Plus variant. 

Reports reveal the Air model will measure just 5.5mm thick, making it Apple’s thinnest iPhone to date, while sporting a 6.6-inch display and a single-lens rear camera. The device is expected to appeal to users seeking sleek form factors, though compromises on battery capacity are likely.

“I think the thinner design will attract new customers to the iPhone,” an analyst noted, reflecting Apple’s strategy to combine innovation with customer expansion. The Pro versions will undergo a notable redesign, featuring larger camera arrays and aluminium frames, reinforcing Apple’s focus on mobile photography. 

Across all models, the A19 and A19 Pro chips will power faster processing, and ProMotion 120Hz displays may become standard.

Beyond smartphones, Apple is updating its Apple Watch line for the first time in three years. The Series 11, Ultra 3, and SE 3 are all set for release.

The Ultra 3 will reportedly include a larger OLED display, faster charging, and 5G RedCap support, while Series 11 could introduce blood pressure monitoring and Sleep Score analytics. The SE 3 may adopt the Series 9 design, offering a larger screen at a lower price point.

Other expected announcements include the AirPods Pro 3, featuring a compact design, H3 chip, touch-sensitive controls, and heart-rate monitoring. Apple will also likely refresh its HomePod mini and Apple TV 4K, with the latter powered by the A17 Pro chip to enhance streaming and gaming.

Software updates will accompany the hardware rollout. iOS 26 is set to debut new AI-driven features, including live call translation, AI-powered call screening, and the “Liquid Glass” interface. Apple’s Pro models, built with 12GB RAM and advanced cooling, will handle more demanding AI tasks, embedding intelligence across system apps.

The Apple September 9 event is expected to set the stage for Apple’s next three years of iPhone innovation, including foldable devices and curved-glass models leading up to the product’s 20th anniversary in 2027. 

The event will be streamed live at apple.com and via the Apple TV app.

This follows several years of restrictions imposed by the United States.

The launch of the Pura 80 series stresses Huawei’s endless drive to regain its top position in its home market. 

Each new phone model from the firm is closely observed, serving as a measure of its technological strength and resilience against sanctions that severely disrupted its smartphone business. 

This vigour from Huawei has also awoken pressure on competitors, such as Apple, which has recently experienced a consistent decline in its Chinese market share, increasingly relying on price reductions to boost sales.

The new line-up, unveiled during a livestream event, places considerable emphasis on advanced camera capabilities and integrated intelligence features. 

Huawei’s consumer business unit head, Yu Chengdong, noted these innovations without detailing the internal processing chips.

The Pura 80 series comprises four distinct models: the Pura 80, Pura 80 Pro, Pura 80 Pro+, and Pura 80 Ultra. Pricing for the Pro series begins at 6,499 yuan (approximately £710), with its release scheduled for 14th June. 

The Pro+ model, also arriving on 14th June, starts at 7,999 yuan (around £875), while the Ultra variant, priced at 9,999 yuan (about £1,095), will follow on 26th June. The standard Pura 80 is expected in July.

A unique feature across the new phones is the XMAGE camera technology, which includes ultra-wide-angle and macro telephoto lenses. 

These cameras incorporate artificial intelligence to identify objects and offer relevant information, such as tourist guidance. Again, the Ultra model comes with enhanced camera capabilities with TCG triple-real-time fusion technology, expanding the dynamic range significantly. 

It is also the first phone in the industry to feature a dual-lens switchable telephoto system, increasing its optical range compared to earlier Pura models.

Beyond hardware, the Pura 80 phones run on HarmonyOS NEXT, Huawei’s proprietary operating system. This software promises an improved overall performance. The higher-end models come with large batteries, supporting both rapid wired and wireless charging.

Huawei’s aggressive research and development strategy underpins this launch. The company has invested 1.249 trillion yuan (around £136 billion) in R&D over the past decade, with 179.7 billion yuan (approximately £19.6 billion) allocated in 2024 alone. 

This financial commitment has been indispensable in overcoming challenges like securing advanced chipsets for its newer devices.

The release has generated public interest within China, with many viewing it as a demonstration of the company’s defiance against international sanctions. 

Discussions surrounding the Huawei Pura 80 dominated Chinese social media platforms on Wednesday. Public reaction, while varied, generally commended the sophisticated camera systems and sleek design, though some were unsatisfied with the pricing.
