iPhone 17 Air Won’t Be the Only Slim Smartphone Launching This Month – Tecno to Unveil Pova Slim 5G on September 4
Tecno is set to launch the Pova Slim 5G in India on September 4. Expected to cost around ₹25,000, it will compete with Apple’s iPhone 17 Air and Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge as one of the slimmest 5G smartphones.
Tecno’s upcoming Pova Slim 5G is expected to launch on September 4 in India, priced around ₹25,000, ahead of Apple’s iPhone 17 Air.
The upcoming iPhone 17 Air from Apple might be the most anticipated smartphone of September, but it won't be the only one. This week, Tecno plans to introduce the Pova Slim 5G in India, which it says will be one of the thinnest 5G phones with a 3D curved screen.
What We Now Know About the Tecno Pova Slim 5G
Through a dedicated website, Tecno has already hinted at the device's svelte form factor and distinctive features. It is anticipated that the Pova Slim 5G will have:
- 3D curved screen for a high-end appearance
- A unique dual rear camera setup
- Ella AI assistant that can speak several Indian languages
Tecno is expected to market the Pova Slim 5G as a fashionable yet reasonably priced option in the slim phone market, although specifics such as display size, dimensions, processor, and battery capacity are still unknown.
Issues with Battery Trade-Offs
The battery life of ultra-thin smartphones is still one of the main concerns. While Apple's iPhone 17 Air is expected to have an even smaller battery, Samsung's Galaxy S25 Edge has a 3,900mAh unit. Although the specifications of Tecno's Pova Slim 5G battery will be made public at launch, some concessions are already anticipated in return for the thin design.
Launch Date and Expected Price
Tecno will officially unveil the Pova Slim 5G on September 4, 2025. Industry reports suggest the phone could be priced around ₹25,000, making it a competitive offering in the mid-range smartphone market.
With Apple, Samsung, and Tecno all bringing slim smartphones to the spotlight this month, September 2025 is shaping up to be an exciting period for smartphone enthusiasts.
