Design and durability
| Dimensions | 162.58 × 77.27 × 6.39 mm |
|---|---|
| Weight | 171g, according to Philippine launch reporting |
| Ingress ratings | IP66 / IP68 / IP69 / IP69K |
| Colours on PH spec page | Gossamer White, Matisse Black, Rebel Pink, Burgundy Red |
TECNO says the device meets IP66, IP68 and IP69 levels under IEC 60529:2019 and IP69K under ISO 20653:2023 in controlled laboratory conditions. The company also warns that water resistance is not permanent, so these ratings should not be read as a guarantee against liquid damage.

|---|---|
| Resolution | 1208 × 2644 pixels (1.5K-class) |
| Refresh rate | Up to 144Hz |

TECNO notes that its T1 display chip upscales the GPU’s native 1080 × 2364 output to the panel’s 1208 × 2644 hardware resolution, so some third-party apps may report 1080p rather than the upscaled figure.

What stands out, and what are the tradeoffs?
The CAMON Slim 5G’s strongest engineering story is the combination of a genuinely thin 6.39mm body and 6,000mAh battery. The 144Hz AMOLED panel, OIS-equipped Sony main sensor and unusually broad ingress-protection claims add practical value. The tradeoffs are easier to see when compared with thicker performance-oriented phones: 45W charging is moderate for this price tier, the secondary rear camera is only 8MP, and the Dimensity 7300e targets efficient mid-range performance rather than flagship-class sustained workloads.
PhoneSpecX previously covered the CAMON Slim 5G Bangladesh launch; the Philippine release is a separate regional pricing and availability event.
