"IFA 2025 has wrapped, and while I was there, I caught up with Tecno, a phone maker that deals almost exclusively outside the U.S. But the company has a reputation for creating some unique and inexpensive smartphones for its market, including foldables. Back at MWC 2025 in Barcelona, the company allowed the press to look at but not touch a super slim phone -- the . At IFA, we got to touch it and even take it home to test further."
"The phone has officially launched for the price of INR 19,999, or just under $230. At just 6mm thick, or roughly .02mm thicker than the Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge, the phone is ridiculously thin. Some other specs include a 6.78-inch display, 13-megapixel selfie camera, 128 or 256GB of storage, 8GB of RAM, and a Mediatek Dimensity 6400 built on a 6nm process -- just in case you were wondering what the big compromise was."
"It also comes with a 5,160 mAh battery, which is 33% larger than the battery in the S25 Edge. During my testing with the latter, I found a day's worth of use perfectly doable. The Pova then should be a solid day of heavy use or a day and a half of medium use. What that tells me is that the iPhone 17 Air could potentially have a decently sized battery as well."
Tecno unveiled the Pova Slim, an ultra-thin smartphone priced at INR 19,999 (about $230). The device measures 6mm thick and features a 6.78-inch display, 13MP selfie camera, 128 or 256GB storage, 8GB RAM, and a Mediatek Dimensity 6400 on a 6nm process. The phone includes a 5,160 mAh battery, 33% larger than the Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge battery. Real-world testing showed roughly a day of heavy use or a day and a half of medium use. The design blends visual cues reminiscent of the Pixel 10 Pro and Nothing Phone 3, including a visor across the top. The Pova Slim highlights how thin phones can still deliver strong battery life at an affordable price.
