Barcelona was busy today as tech enthusiasts, executives, and brands from all over the world flocked to the halls of Fira Gran Via for Mobile World Congress 2025. Me and my colleague Will went across a lot of booths to get you the best coverage from the event.
We also spent a considerable amount of time at TECNO’s booth (6B11, Hall 6) based on the “Create the AI Future” theme that promises more than just flashy tech, an AI practical for everyday users, especially in emerging markets.
Key Products from Tecno at MWC 2025
The CAMON 40 Series stole the spotlight on Day 1, showcasing some impressive camera capabilities. The “One-Tap FlashSnap” was interesting and helped capture fast-moving subjects with remarkable clarity.
TECNO’s booth also features their foldable phones—the PHANTOM V2 Flip 5G and PHANTOM V2 Fold 5G—which were launched in 2024.
What was the most interesting though was TECNO’s first-ever AI Glasses Series. These aren’t just smart glasses; they’re trying to bring smartphone-level photography capabilities to eyewear.
The Pro version takes things even further with AR display features that hint at a future where our screens might be everywhere and nowhere at the same time.
However, the brand says we’ll get more details on that tomorrow on Day 2.
The Next Generation of Work and Play
The MEGABOOK S14 laptop was another standout at the booth. It is being touted as the world’s lightest 14-inch laptop with a 2.8K OLED display, and manages to pack serious AI functionality into an ultra-portable frame. The Ella AI Voice Assistant onboard offers more than just basic commands—brings contextual understanding in conversations.
Products of the Future
Probably the most interesting part of TECNO’s display was their concept corner.
The SPARK Slim showed off an ultra-slim profile in a beautiful silver design, while there was also the tri-fold PHANTOM Ultimate 2 with a tablet-sized screen that could fit in your pocket.
The Tecno Spark Slim is extremely thin at 5.75mm but doesn’t cut down on battery life since it features a healthy 5200mAh capacity one inside. I remember the older super slim smartphones like the vivo X3 could only feature a 2000mAh battery in such a slim form factor. It didn’t make sense back then given the battery cost, but today, 10 years later, 5.75mm with a 5200mAh battery sounds like a good idea.
The tri-fold was also an important highlight of the booth, featuring a beautiful, large tablet-sized device that can be folded into your pocket.
What’s Next
We are waiting for more details on the glasses, the CAMON 40’s Tecno AI, and the MEGABOOK S14, which should likely be unveiled tomorrow.
