TECNO CAMON Slim 5G is coming to PH on October 1

TECNO-CAMON-Slim-5G-Philippines

TECNO will bring the CAMON Slim 5G to the Philippines on October 1, 2026, with local pricing set to be confirmed at launch.

The TECNO CAMON Slim 5G is built around a 6.78-inch 1.5K AMOLED display with a 144Hz refresh rate, TÜV Rheinland low blue light certification, and 2160Hz PWM dimming. Despite packing a 6,000mAh battery, the device measures just 6.39mm thin and weighs roughly 190g. TECNO credits the slim build to the swan-neck curve design language inherited from its flagship CAMON 50 series.

On the back, the CAMON Slim 5G carries a 50MP Sony LYTIA 700C main camera with a 1/1.56-inch sensor and optical image stabilization, paired with an 8MP ultrawide with autofocus. A 32MP shooter handles selfies up front. The triple-stabilization system combines OIS, AI Electronic Image Stabilization, and what TECNO calls “AI Shutter.” Super-Zoom FlashSnap can capture motion at shutter speeds as fast as 1/11236 second, the company says, and supports up to 2x telephoto snap shooting. Multi-focal-length portraits are available at 24mm, 35mm, and 50mm.

Five colorways will be offered locally: Burgundy Red, Matisse Black, Neo Mondrian, Van Gogh Blue, and Rebel Pink — each named after an art movement or master. Neo Mondrian uses photochromic technology that reveals color blocks under UV light, while Van Gogh Blue mimics the swirling nebula of The Starry Night through a patterned gradient coating.

The phone runs HiOS 16 on Android 16, powered by a MediaTek Dimensity 7300e 5G processor with up to 8GB of physical RAM (expandable to 24GB via extended memory). It carries an IP66/IP68/IP69/IP69K rating and MIL-STD-810 drop certification, plus 45W Super Charge support.

AI features include AI Snap Poster for merchant product photos, AI LightMaster 2.0 for reflection removal, AI Recording Notes for lecture transcription, and AI Healthy Eating for calorie estimation. AI availability varies by market, TECNO notes.

TECNO-Camon-Slim-5G

Alongside the CAMON Slim 5G, the company is launching the TECNO MagBadge — a 29-gram magnetic accessory with a 1.73-inch AMOLED display, 450mAh battery, and Bluetooth pairing. It works as a remote shutter up to 10 meters and as a selfie preview screen. The MagBadge goes on sale starting September 29 through TECNO’s official Shopee, Lazada, and TikTok Shop stores, two days ahead of the phone.

Eligible buyers in select markets will receive a three-month trial of Google AI Plus with 2TB of storage at no extra cost. Official PH pricing, exact RAM and storage configurations, and confirmed color availability of the TECNO CAMON Slim 5G will be announced on October 1.

Amazon announces two new Tomb Raider games

Get ready to dust off your climbing axes. Lara Croft, the legendary treasure hunter, is returning to consoles and computers in a big way. Following a long break from solo adventures, two major new games in the Tomb Raider series were revealed at The Game Awards 2025. The last time players controlled Lara in a core series game was 2018’s Shadow of the Tomb Raider. Now, publisher Amazon Games and longtime developer Crystal Dynamics are bringing her back with a pair of distinct projects. The first is Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis , a full remake of the original 1996 game that started it all. It is being built with Unreal Engine 5 by Crystal Dynamics and Flying Wild Hog.

Sei Crypto Wallet to come pre-installed on Xiaomi phones

Xiaomi and The Sei Development Foundation, a non-profit that promotes the Sei network, have entered a global partnership that aims to promote mainstream blockchain adoption. From 2026, Xiaomi phones available outside mainland China and the United States will come pre-installed with a wallet and crypto discovery app developed by Sei Labs. This would definitely help increase the adoption of the network as Xiaomi is one of the biggest smartphone vendors in the world, just behind Samsung and Apple. Participating phones will be able to conduct peer-to-peer payments, explore Web3 products, and access decentralized applications without the need to download third-party apps. What’s more, Sei plans to implement stablecoin payments in over 20,000 Xiaomi stores, starting in Hong Kong and the European Union. Sei Labs aims to “build a decentralized NASDAQ” and targets to accommodate 200,000 transactions per second as it aims to shift the financial ecosystem on-chain. To make it possible, th...
