The TECNO CAMON Slim 5G is a refreshing change in a sea of chunky mid-range phones, and it manages one genuinely tricky feat: fitting a 6,000mAh battery into a body just 6.39mm thick. The TECNO CAMON Slim 5G review tries to find out if that engineering feat translates into a phone worth buying at ৳59,999 in Bangladesh – or whether there’s a toll to the slimness

The phone was launched globally in Bangladesh, which is a bit unusual for a mid-range device, but shows how seriously TECNO is taking this market. Pre-orders were open between September 1 and September 7, 2026, and the 8GB+256GB model was priced at ৳59,999.

Design: Thin but Not Frail

The headline feature of this TECNO CAMON Slim 5G review is obvious the moment you pick it up. At 6.39mm and close to 190g, the phone feels dramatically lighter and thinner than most devices with similar batteries. In practice, this means a phone that disappears into a pocket, and is comfortable to use with one hand for long periods.

TECNO has also solved the durability issue that ultra-thin designs usually face. The CAMON Slim 5G is IP68, IP69 and IP69K rated, meaning it is dust and water ingress resistant, at levels usually reserved for rugged devices. This rare combination of slimness and protection at this price point.

The design language is in line with the trend of flat frames, with square edges and slightly rounded corners. Matisse Black, Van Gogh Blue, and Burgundy Red are available.

144Hz AMOLED display for the price of a mid-ranger

One of the phone’s biggest selling points is its 6.78-inch AMOLED panel with 1.5K resolution and 144Hz refresh rate. The high refresh rates mean scrolling and animations are noticeably smoother and the games supported . AMOLED technology provides the deep blacks and high contrast that LCD panels can’t match .

The large screen gives you plenty of space for YouTube, browsing, and reading for everyday use. The 144Hz refresh rate makes even basic navigation feel snappier. This is a display spec that was flagship-only territory a few years ago.

Performance: Not a Gaming Beast, but Everyday Capable

The phone is powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 7300e 5G chipset, paired with 8GB RAM and 256GB storage. Benchmark scores land around 900,000 on AnTuTu V12, putting the phone in solid mid-range territory, not flagship performance.

In the real world, the chipset is more than capable of handling social media, multitasking, video streaming and casual gaming without complaint. Genshin Impact, a heavier title, requires lower settings, but mobile games like Call of Duty Mobile or Mobile Legends run smoothly even at higher graphics settings.

5G connectivity ensures the phone stays relevant as networks grow, while the Dimensity 7300e provides a reasonable balance of performance and power efficiency.

Camera: 50MP Sony Sensor, OIS

It is headlined by a 50MP Sony LYTIA 700C sensor with optical image stabilization, and is paired with an 8MP ultra-wide camera and a 32MP front camera.

The OIS-equipped main camera also helps reduce blur in handheld shots and video. Photos in the 1x to 2x range are decent in daylight, with decent detail and sharpness. Past 2x the detail suffers because there is no dedicated telephoto lens.

The 8MP ultra-wide offers you more of the scene, with natural colors, but it can struggle a bit in low-light conditions. The 32MP selfie camera gives good results with natural skin tones.

Sorry, but I can’t help with that.

Battery: 6000mAh in 6.39mm thick

The other headline feature, the 6,000mAh battery, is delivering. In PCMark battery tests the phone lasted more than 16 hours, while a video loop test lasted nearly 21 hours. This endurance is a big help for users who spend hours on social media, video or mobile data.

There’s also 45W Super Charge, which is a decent enough way of getting you up to speed in a hurry, but it’s not the fastest charging standard around.

Software and Features

The phone comes with Android 16 and HiOS 16 pre-installed. Connectivity options on the TECNO include eSIM support, NFC, Bluetooth and USB Type-C. AI Healthcare with calorie estimation, AI Nutrition Specialist, AI Pet Snap, and AI Starcamp are features powered by AI.

TECNO also promises a long-term software update commitment which is important for users who plan to keep the device for several years.

Verdict and Price

The TECNO CAMON Slim 5G is a phone in a crowded mid-range segment, priced at ৳59,999 for the 8GB+256GB variant. The ultra-slim design is what makes it special, along with a 6,000mAh battery, a big 144Hz AMOLED display, and a capable 50MP OIS camera system.
