Calling on TECNO CAMON users nationwide to capture real life moments under the theme "Seeing is Believing" — with global travel awards and filipino special  prizes up for grabs.

TECNO, the AI-driven revolutionary technology brand, and Lonely Planet, the world's leading travel guiding company, today announced the co-hosted Shot On CAMON Contest 2026, the third edition of TECNO's annual worldwide photography competition. Rooted in a shared spirit of inquiry and creativity, the collaboration broadens the contest's scope beyond technology to recognize the people, locations, and stories behind each shot. Through expert co-judging, co-branded material, and photo-essay-style storytelling, TECNO and Lonely Planet hope to inspire consumers all over the world to see more, feel more, and tell richer visual stories. Three Lonely Planet photographers will submit original images shot on the CAMON 50 Series, and one will serve on the final-round jury panel with TECNO's imaging team.

“Great photos are not just about equipment – they are about how deeply the photographer can immerse themselves in a destination. TECNO’s technology makes that immersion easier, helping users stay present, observe more closely and capture meaningful moments as they happen. We are excited to partner on Shot On CAMON Contest 2026 and look forward to seeing how photographers around the world bring their journeys to life.” ~Melissa Killian, Vice President of Integrated Marketing at Lonely Planet

This year's contest, themed "Seeing is Believing," runs from May 15 to October 11, 2026, and invites smartphone photographers from around the world to capture true, beautiful, and unrepeatable events using the TECNO CAMON 50 Series. In an increasingly AI-driven year, the theme is TECNO's call to appreciate the authenticity of real life through photography, recognizing different skin tones, ephemeral emotions, and real-world observations. Even the contest's AI category begins with a real photograph, inviting people to begin with genuine observation and personal expression.

TECNO Philippines Welcomes Kelvinmarkulit as CAMON Photography Ambassador

To further fuel local interest in authentic mobile photography, TECNO Philippines has named Kelvinmarkulit, a highly respected Filipino visual storyteller known for his raw, unfiltered depictions of everyday Filipino life, as the official CAMON Photography Ambassador for the Philippine leg of the contest. Kelvin will play a variety of roles, including co-creating a call-out video to encourage Filipino producers to enter the competition, working as a regional judge to determine the country's most captivating entries, and participating in the exclusive winner's journey. His collaboration with TECNO is more than just a celebrity endorsement; it sends a strong signal to Filipino photographers that local stories, shot with honesty and emotion, can compete on a global scale.

Five Creative Categories That Celebrate New Ways of Seeing

The five categories of Shot On CAMON Contest 2026 are designed to inspire different ways of seeing, encouraging participants to capture real moments, emotions and perspectives from everyday life and travel.

• Faces·Unfiltered – This category celebrates authentic portraits that reflect people as they really are, capturing diverse skin tones and individuality in a quiet close-up, a candid street portrait, or a moment shared between friends.
• Night·Unveiled – This category invites participants to capture the atmosphere, mystery and emotion that emerge after dark, from neon-lit streets and reflections after rain to still moonlit scenes and late-night city life. 
• Culture·Unscripted – This category focuses on capturing the rhythm of a place as it naturally unfolds, whether through festivals, crafts, food moments or unplanned interactions between people.
• Snapshot·Unspotted (Telephoto Special) – Participants are invited to capture distant details that reveal something surprising, intimate or easily overlooked, from textures on far-off peaks to a fleeting expression within a crowd.
• AI·Unimagined (AI Gallery Special) – First capture a real-world photo with a TECNO phone, then transform it into an artistic style using TECNO’s AI Gallery. Both the original photograph and the AI-styled image must be submitted together. This category is designed to explore how AI can extend creative expression while keeping real-world photography as the starting point. 

“‘Seeing is Believing’ is both a creative brief for our contestants and a reminder that the most powerful images begin with real life. Through Shot On CAMON Contest 2026, we hope to inspire users around the world to observe more closely, express themselves more freely and celebrate the beauty of authentic moments through photography.” ~Jack Guo, General Manager of TECNO

Awards, Honors and How to Enter

To honor extraordinary innovation, the Shot On CAMON Contest 2026 will offer excellent work throughout its major award tiers with both cash and rare vacation rewards presented by Lonely Planet. Selected winners will travel on a guided voyage to see the wonders - experiencing is believing, and miracles can only be experienced firsthand.

As part of the competition, one excellent photographer will receive the TECNO Photography Master prize ($8,000). In addition, five winners will be chosen for the Gold Prize ($3,000), five for the Silver Prize ($2,000), and five for the Bronze Prize ($1,000). Ten candidates will also be chosen as TECNO Friends and given a CAMON 50 Series Smartphone. As an added incentive, the TECNO Photography Master and the five Gold Prize winners will be invited to a personalized trip to the Philippines.

Special "Filipino Special Award" – Exclusive for Philippine Participants

In addition to the global rewards, TECNO Philippines will launch the Filipino Special Award to honor and promote local creative talent. Philippine users can submit photographs (normal entries) or videos (via Instagram/Facebook Reels and TikTok). While video uploads are considered informal entries and so ineligible for worldwide prizes, they are automatically considered for the Filipino Special Award. Six additional winners will be chosen as CAMON Photography Endorsers in the Philippines, with each getting a Lonely Planet Bespoke Trip Trip and a CAMON 50 Series smartphone. The results are as follows: five winners from image submissions (any of the five contest categories) and one winner from video submissions. This particular award demonstrates TECNO Philippines' dedication to recognizing domestic visual storytellers, whether they capture a moment in time or bring it to life through motion.

How to Enter

To enter, participants should post photos with a visible TECNO device watermark on Instagram using the hashtags #ShotOnCAMON2026 #TECNOCAMON50Series and #TECNOPhilippines, then submit high-resolution versions via email at shotoncamon@tecnomobile.com or through the ShotOnCAMON Gallery on TECNO’s Philippines official website.

The TECNO CAMON 50 Series powers a massive Earth Day Run Manila with over 15,000 participants

TECNO brought major launch-week energy to the RUNRIO-organized Manila leg of Earth Day Run 2026 at the Mall of Asia Concert Grounds, as the CAMON 50 Series took center stage at one of the season's most high-profile public events, attracting over 15,000 participants and creating a watershed moment for the brand in the Philippines. The Manila leg, the largest of the three-city series, saw a powerful convergence of TECNO's flagship smartphone launch and RUNRIO's national green movement.

As thousands of runners, families, communities, and fitness fanatics converged in Manila, TECNO transformed the event into a live demonstration of the CAMON 50 Series, emphasizing how the device is designed for mobility, expression, and real-life moments that happen quickly.

One of the product's standout features, Super-Zoom FlashSnap, was naturally brought to life in the event setting, where runners in motion, finish-line reactions, group celebrations, and high-energy community scenes provided the ideal backdrop for demonstrating the CAMON 50 Series' motion-capture capabilities.

Sarah Geronimo Leads the program and Experiences CAMON 50 Series

The Manila event was made even more memorable by the appearance of TECNO CAMON 50 Series ambassador Sarah Geronimo, who joined the events and participated in the product experience, lending star power and increased public attention to an already highly prominent launch-week activity.

Her appearance aided TECNO's relationship with Filipino consumers while emphasizing the CAMON 50 Series' stance as a smartphone designed not only for image, but also for lifestyle, mobility, and significant everyday moments.

Wearables Make Their Mark

Along with the CAMON 50 Series, TECNO demonstrated its developing smart lifestyle ecosystem with wearable goods such as Watch NEO and FreeHear 2, reinforcing the brand's aim for a more connected, expressive, and active user experience.

TECNO’s Commitment to the Planet and the Filipino Community

More than a sponsorship, TECNO's participation in Earth Day Run Manila conveyed a larger message about the role of technology in modern life — assisting people in capturing better, living more actively, and connecting more intimately with the moments and causes that are important.

“Earth Day Run Manila gave us the opportunity to bring the CAMON 50 Series into a space filled with energy, purpose, and real human moments. It was the ideal setting to show how our latest smartphone and wearable products fit naturally into the lives of Filipinos who move, create, and live fully.” ~Jason Wong, Country Manager of TECNO Philippines

Following the positive response in Manila, TECNO will build on its Earth Day Run involvement in Cebu on April 26 at SM Seaside, expanding the CAMON 50 Series story with more community-driven, high-visibility activities in the market.

TECNO Philippines launches the world's slimmest 3D-curved AI phone, the TECNO SPARK Slim, for as low as PhP7,599

TECNO, an AI-driven creative technology brand, has officially announced the Philippine debut of the world's slimmest curved-screen smartphone, the TECNO SPARK Slim, which will retail for PhP9,499.  SPARK Slim defies conventional trade-offs by combining a huge 5160mAh battery with an ultra-slim design that has passed military industrial certification to assure overall durability.

Carrying on the SPARK series' youthful, colorful, and fashionable DNA, its aerospace-grade fiberglass rear cover makes the device thinner but stronger, while the exquisite 3D-curved profile and lightweight body provide a comfortable in-hand feel.  The expressive world-first Mood Light design incorporates an interactive, playful feature that appeals to youthful inventiveness, while brilliant color selections emphasize uniqueness.  SPARK Slim's blend of slimness, style, and substance provides a premium experience that exceeds expectations in its price range.

Slim Yet Powerful: Redefining the Balance Between Ultra-Thin Design and Lasting Performance 

Despite its ultra-thin body, the SPARK Slim features a 5160mAh high-density lithium cobalt oxide battery that provides up to 24.8 hours of Day of Use (DOU).  It also includes 45W rapid charging, 10W reverse charging, and bypass charging capabilities.  This one-of-a-kind battery solution resists swelling even after extended usage, demonstrating that thin does not imply weakness in endurance.

SPARK Slim features a 0.3mm ultra-thin vapor chamber and a high-conductivity graphite layer with a thermal performance of 1800W/m·K, resulting in a 24,532mm² cooling system.  This allows for consistent charging and gaming performance while keeping the tablet cool in such a tiny design.

SPARK Slim is powered by the new MediaTek Helio G200 chipset, which adds to its solid foundation of power and thermal stability.  Designed to balance efficiency and performance, it ensures smooth everyday use and has TÜV-certified fluency for up to five years, providing consumers with long-term stability and trust in their device.

Slim Yet Durable: Reliability backed by Military-Grade Standards

While achieving extreme slimness, TECNO SPARK Slim does not compromise on durability. Its 0.36mm aerospace-grade fiberglass back cover is 0.19mm thinner than conventional materials yet improves strength by 300% and flexibility by 200%. 

The screen is protected by Corning® Gorilla® Glass 7i, while the entire device is IP64 rated against dust and water, ensuring peace of mind for everyday use. 

Slim Yet Stylish: Lighting Up Individual Expression

TECNO SPARK Slim is available in two timeless colorways: Slim White and Cool Black, which incorporate classic elegance into new fashion trends.  The device weighs approximately 156g and has an ultra-narrow frame with beautiful curves, providing an excellent slender grip that feels sophisticated and comfortable in the hand.

In addition to its ultra-slim aesthetics, SPARK Slim introduces an interactive Mood Light design on the back, featuring two circular “eyes” that mimic emotions through multi-scene lighting effects. In scenarios such as power on/off, charging, incoming calls, Ella activation, and notifications, the eyes display playful light animations—expressing moods like happy, not happy, or blinking. For Gen Z users, this transforms functional notifications into a unique form of fashionable self-expression, turning the device into both a stylish daily companion and a tool to showcase individuality.

Beyond playful interaction, SPARK Slim also delivers an exceptional viewing experience. Its 1.5K high-resolution curved display offers immersive clarity, reaching 4500 nits peak brightness and supporting a 144Hz refresh rate for ultra-smooth responsiveness, ensuring vivid visuals even in bright outdoor conditions.

Elevated Experiences with TECNO AI and Beyond

SPARK Slim incorporates TECNO AI, which offers real-time translation, document summarization, and AI photo correction, empowering young users in their learning, work, and creative production.  Touch Transfer enables users to instantly share images, videos, or files between two TECNO devices with a single tap via NFC, resulting in seamless connectivity.  The gadget also includes Dolby dual stereo speakers and dual system support, which improves both entertainment and productivity.

The gadget also includes TECNO's best-in-class "FreeLink" technology, which allows for direct Bluetooth-based messaging and two-way communications even in areas without cellular coverage, making it a crucial feature in distant or offline contexts.

Powering Up Gaming and Connectivity

TECNO SPARK SLIM has teamed up with the hit local game Honor of Kings (HOK). Powered by the capable MediaTek Helio G200 chipset, TECNO SPARK SLIM empowers the local gaming community, proving that it offers not just a slim profile but also reliable daily gaming performance. Furthermore, TECNO partnered with TM Cellular Service, a brand under Globe Telecom offering mobile services to its customers. TECNO will offer a free TECNO x TM x HOK co-branded SIM card, which includes exclusive free up to 25GB data, and customized data for HOK, enhancing the out-of-the-box gaming experience for users.

Accessible Pricing and Launch Offers

The TECNO SPARK Slim will be available starting October 8 both online and offline, with an official price of PhP9,499. From October 8 to 10, enjoy discounted first sale price of PhP7,999PhP on Shopee and TikTok Shop. Buyers will receive a free TM SIM card of equal value with their purchase. Additionally, customers who purchase at designated TECNO offline stores during the month of October and use Spaylater for installment payments can enjoy a 20% discount, making the TECNO SPARK Slim even more affordable at PhP7,599. This makes it an excellent and smart choice for an early Christmas gift. Buyers who pay through HomeCredit, Skyro and soon through Kredivo, will enjoy 0% interest on their installment purchase.

 

With the launch of SPARK Slim, TECNO once again proves that slim and powerful can co-exist. As the world’s thinnest curved-screen smartphone, SPARK Slim not only pushes the boundaries of innovative engineering power with its 5.93mm body, but also delivers beyond-class ultra-slim experiences with uncompromising endurance and performance. It delivers a practical, stylish, and easy-to-use ultra-slim experience for users who refuse to be boxed in and want to express themselves at any moment.

The FlashSnap Fiesta transformed the venue into an immersive playground, featuring themed zones that showcased the CAMON 40 Series’ revolutionary technology.
