After launching in Ghana and Uganda last week, TECNO has now opened pre-orders for the Spark Slim in Kenya. The company says the pre-order period runs from November 3 to November 9, ahead of the phone’s official sale date on November 10.
According to pre-order materials, customers are required to pay a KES 2,000 upfront deposit to secure the device. The amount will be refunded as cashback when completing the full payment once the phone becomes available.
Here’s the pre-order link.
The TECNO Spark Slim is listed at a recommended retail price (RRP) of KES 27,999, making it cheaper than in Uganda and Ghana. However, it is highly likely that this figure already factors in the KES 2,000 cashback, meaning the actual price for those who miss the pre-order window (starting November 10) could be KES 29,999. Pre-ordering effectively guarantees the KES 2,000 discount and secures the lower KES 27,999 price point.
Pre-ordering also comes with a notable bonus: customers will receive a free 20,000mAh powerbank, though TECNO specifies that the pre-order must be completed in-store to qualify for this offer.
What you get with the TECNO Spark Slim
The TECNO Spark Slim focuses on premium features often found in higher-tier devices, packed into an incredibly thin chassis. Key specifications derived from the official summary sheet include:
- Design & display: The phone’s primary selling point is its form factor, measuring a remarkably slim 5.95mm in thickness. It features a large 6.78-inch 144Hz 1.5K (1224×2720) 3D AMOLED display. And TECNO says it has passed military-grade shock resistance testing.
- Processor & performance: It is powered by the MediaTek Helio G200 processor and comes with a generous memory configuration of 256GB of storage paired with 16GB of total RAM (8GB physical + 8GB extended RAM).
- Cameras: Photography is handled by a 50MP rear camera with a Dual Flash setup, while the front features a 13MP shooter.
- Battery: The device packs a robust 5160mAh battery that supports 45W Super Charging.
- Connectivity & features: The phone runs on Android 15 and supports 4G networks. Notable features include Dual Speakers with Dolby Atmos support, NFC, an Infrared Remote Control (IR Blaster), and AI-centric software like ‘Instant Translate’ and ‘Dual System’ functionality.
The in-store pre-order process
TECNO has outlined a simple 5-step process for customers wishing to pre-order and secure their free power bank:
- STEP 1: Select Your Preferred Model and Pickup Store.
- STEP 2: Fill in Your Contact Information.
- STEP 3: Pay the Deposit (KES 2,000) at Your Selected Store.
- STEP 4: Await Arrival Notification.
- STEP 5: Make the Final Payment & Pick-up the device.
The limited window for the pre-order offer means those keen on securing the lowest price and the complimentary power bank should move quickly before the November 9 deadline.
The TECNO Spark Slim will officially go on sale in Kenya starting November 10, available via the TECNO Online Store and authorized retailers nationwide.
With its slim profile, 144Hz AMOLED panel, and large battery, the Spark Slim positions itself as an affordable midrange option with premium design touches in a market where the iPhone Air and Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge cost and arm and leg, and TECNO’s pre-order perks make it an even more compelling deal.
