Overview
- TECNO’s concept centers on a 4.9mm base phone plus a 4.5mm power bank module that together reach a thickness comparable to typical flagships.
- A hybrid system uses a precision magnetic array for attachment, pogo-pin connectors for power delivery, and wireless data that switches among Wi‑Fi, Bluetooth and mmWave.
- The initial ecosystem spans about ten modules, including a slim power bank, an action camera, a telephoto lens that uses the phone’s screen as a viewfinder, and off-grid communication tools.
- Two design interpretations—ATOM and MODA—are shown, with an eight-zone back layout guiding where modules align and attach.
- TECNO will showcase the platform at MWC 2026 in Barcelona as a long-term design experiment, with journalists noting past modular efforts like Project Ara, LG G5 and Moto Mods and that commercial viability remains unproven.
