2025 was the year of thin smartphones, for better or worse. The Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge and iPhone Air tried to make the case for why we should care about ultra-thin designs, but neither did anything interesting beyond reducing battery capacity and removing cameras. At MWC 2026, I found a new super-thin phone that takes the thin form factor and actually gives it a purpose.
The phone comes from TECNO, and as it stands, it’s a concept device without a proper name. And I know what you’re thinking — it looks a lot like the iPhone Air. The camera bar at the top and the sensor placement are practically identical to those of the iPhone Air. Going off that alone, it’d be easy to write off TECNO’s phone as a shameless copycat.
