The Tecno Camon Slim was announced on June 23, 2026, and is expected to arrive in Pakistan in July 2026. The expected price is Rs. 69,299–69,999 for the 8GB + 256GB variant, while the 128GB variant's price is yet to be confirmed.

Expected Pakistan Pricing (July 2026)

• 8GB RAM / 128GB: To Be Confirmed

• 8GB RAM / 256GB (Expected): Rs. 69,299 – Rs. 69,999

• Pakistan Launch: Not Officially Confirmed

• Note: Prices are estimated and may change at launch.

Design and Build — The Thinnest and Most Distinctive at This Price

The Camon Slim's defining characteristic is its 6.4mm thickness — thinner than most flagship phones released in 2026, let alone budget and mid-range devices. This makes it one of the most pocketable phones available in Pakistan under Rs. 70,000.

• Dimensions: 162.8 x 77.7 x 6.4mm — exceptionally slim

• Weight: Not officially confirmed yet

• IP68 and IP69 rated — waterproof up to 2 meters for 30 minutes, and resistant to high-pressure water jets

• MIL-STD-810H compliant — tested for drop resistance

• Mini-LED programmable matrix on the back — 354-dot LED panel that can display patterns, notifications, and custom animations

• Single Nano-SIM — note: only one physical SIM slot

• Colors: New Mondrian, Prism Black, Jungle Green, Van Gogh Blue, Burgundy Red

• USB: Type-C 2.0 with OTG

• NFC: Yes

• Infrared port: Yes

• No 3.5mm headphone jack

• FM Radio: Yes

The programmable Mini-LED matrix on the back is the most eye-catching feature of this phone. The 354-dot LED panel on the rear can display incoming call alerts, notification patterns, battery level, and custom animations — something you would normally only find on significantly more expensive phones. At 6.4mm, the phone is thinner than the iPhone 17 Air and sits in genuinely exclusive territory for this thickness level.

One important practical note — this phone has a single Nano-SIM slot, not dual SIM. If you regularly use two SIM cards, this is a dealbreaker worth knowing upfront.

Display — 144Hz AMOLED with High-Frequency Eye Protection

The 6.78-inch AMOLED display is the strongest aspect of the Camon Slim alongside its design. A 144Hz refresh rate and 2160Hz PWM dimming make this one of the better-specced displays under Rs. 70,000.

• Size: 6.78 inches AMOLED

• Resolution: 1224 x 2720 pixels — sharp at 440 PPI

• Refresh rate: 144Hz — exceptionally smooth for this price

• PWM dimming: 2160Hz — reduces eye strain significantly at low brightness settings

• Screen-to-body ratio: 87.7%

The 2160Hz PWM dimming is a feature typically highlighted on premium phones. Standard budget phones use PWM rates of 60Hz to 240Hz, which causes flickering that contributes to eye fatigue — especially during nighttime use at low brightness. The 2160Hz rate virtually eliminates this flicker. Combined with the 144Hz refresh rate and the 440 PPI sharpness, this is a display that punches noticeably above what the price suggests.

Performance — Helio G200 Ultimate for Daily Use

The Helio G200 Ultimate on a 6nm process is a capable everyday chip. It is the same family as the G200 found in other phones at this price range, with the "Ultimate" designation indicating a slightly higher-clocked variant.

• Chipset: Helio G200 Ultimate (6nm)

• CPU: Octa-core — 2x2.2 GHz Cortex-A76 + 6x2.0 GHz Cortex-A55

• GPU: Mali-G57 MC2 at 1.1GHz

• RAM: 8GB

• Storage: 128GB or 256GB

• microSD: Unspecified — not confirmed whether expansion is supported

• OS: Android 16 with HIOS 16.2

• Software updates: Up to 3 major Android upgrades

• No 5G — 4G LTE only

Daily tasks, social media, streaming, and light to moderate gaming all run smoothly. The Geekbench scores confirmed for this chip — 997 single-core and 2950 multi-core — place it below flagship territory but comfortably above basic entry-level performance. For the everyday user who browses, streams, and games casually, this chipset is more than sufficient.

The 3 major update commitment is modest — the same as several competitors at this price. No 5G is a trade-off to note, though 5G availability in Pakistan remains limited to select areas.

Camera — 50MP Main, 32MP Selfie, Single Rear Lens

The camera setup is simpler than the phone's other features might suggest — a single 50MP main camera and a 32MP selfie camera, with no secondary rear camera listed beyond what appears to be a depth sensor.

• Main camera: 50MP, f/1.8, 24mm wide, 1/1.95" sensor, PDAF

• No OIS — not listed in confirmed specs

• LED flash

• Video: Up to 1440p — exact frame rate not confirmed

• Selfie camera: 32MP, f/2.5, wide angle

• Selfie video: 1080p at 30fps

The 1/1.95-inch sensor on the main camera is reasonably large for this price and helps with light gathering. The lack of OIS is worth noting for video users — footage may show more camera shake than phones with optical stabilization. The 32MP selfie camera is a strong front shooter for video calls, portraits, and social media content. The video capability up to 1440p is confirmed, though the specific frame rate options are still to be verified at launch.

Battery — 5600mAh with 60W Charging

The 5600mAh battery is genuinely impressive for a phone this slim. Fitting this capacity into a 6.4mm frame is a notable engineering achievement.

• Battery capacity: 5600mAh — above average for the thickness

• Wired charging: 60W — faster than most competitors at this price

• No wireless charging

60W charging at this price is a real differentiator — most phones under Rs. 70,000 cap at 33W or 45W. A 5600mAh battery at 60W should reach a full charge in around 60 to 65 minutes, and 50% in roughly 25 to 30 minutes. Most users will comfortably get through a full day on a single charge. The combination of a large capacity and fast charging in a phone this thin is one of the Camon Slim's strongest overall arguments.

Software and Connectivity

• OS: Android 16 with HIOS 16.2 — current at launch

• Software updates: 3 major Android upgrades

• Wi-Fi: Confirmed, exact standard not specified

• Bluetooth: Confirmed, version not specified

• NFC: Yes — contactless payments and data transfer

• Infrared port: Yes — TV and appliance remote control

• USB: Type-C 2.0 with OTG

• No 3.5mm headphone jack

• FM Radio: Yes

• GPS: Multi-system — GPS, GLONASS, GALILEO, BDS

HIOS 16.2 on Android 16 is clean and up to date. The NFC and infrared port combination is useful at this price. The missing headphone jack means wireless or USB-C audio only — a real consideration for buyers who use wired earphones daily.

Final Verdict

The Camon Slim is one of the most genuinely interesting phones expected to launch in Pakistan under Rs. 70,000 in 2026. The 6.4mm thickness with IP68/IP69 protection, programmable Mini-LED back panel, 144Hz AMOLED display with 2160Hz PWM dimming, and 60W fast charging in a 5600mAh battery together make a combination you simply do not find at this price anywhere else.

The single SIM slot, absent OIS, unconfirmed microSD support, no headphone jack, and modest 3-update software commitment are real trade-offs that buyers need to weigh honestly. But for someone who wants the slimmest phone in its price category with a genuinely distinctive design and a standout display — the Camon Slim makes a very compelling case.
