If you’ve been eyeing the TECNO CAMON Slim 5G since we first broke down its Philippine pricing, consider this your final boarding call. The preorder window for the ultra-thin 5G phone closes on Oct. 15, and TECNO is throwing in enough freebies to make the early commitment worthwhile.

The unit itself retails for ₱27,999 (roughly $446) for the 256GB model with 8GB of physical RAM. Every eligible offline preorder comes with a free TECNO MagBadge, an accessory that’s normally priced at ₱5,999 ($96). Essentially a smart magnetic puck with a 1.73-inch display, it snaps onto the back of the CAMON Slim 5G and doubles as a rear-camera preview screen and remote shutter. It’s a practical way to frame selfies and wide shots using the main 50-megapixel Sony LYTIA 700C sensor without having to guess your angles.

Early buyers also receive a premium after-sales package valued at ₱10,000 ($159). This includes a 60-day free replacement guarantee, a 13-month extended warranty, and three years of 256GB cloud storage, along with a three-month trial of Google One AI Plus 2TB.

For those looking to maximize their savings, TECNO is offering tiered cash discounts based on when buyers collect their units after sales officially open. Pick up your phone between Oct. 16 and 17 to get ₱3,000 ($48) off. Claim it on Oct. 18, and the discount drops to ₱2,500 ($40). Those who collect their devices between Oct. 19 and 23 can still save ₱2,000 ($32).

There’s also a chance to walk away with more than just the smartphone and its bundled extras. Every valid preorder counts as an entry into a ₱2 million ($31,875) prize pool. The brand will select 100 winners to receive ₱10,000 ($159) each, while one grand prize winner will take home ₱1 million ($15,938).

The TECNO CAMON Slim 5G follows a “Make It Lighter” design philosophy, packing a 6,000mAh battery into a chassis just 6.39mm thick. That combination sets it apart from the bulky devices that typically dominate the big-battery segment, offering a more pocketable option for commuters, frequent travelers, and anyone who spends long hours on the go. It should also be easier to carry between interviews, event venues, and work meetings without sacrificing battery capacity.

The preorder colorways — Burgundy Red, Matisse Black, and Rebel Pink — are available now, while the Gossamer White variant is set to arrive later this month. If you want the TECNO MagBadge and a shot at the preorder perks, you have until Oct. 15 to lock in your order.
