Tecno has officially introduced its latest budget-friendly smartphone lineup—the Tecno Spark 40 Series, and it’s making waves for all the right reasons. With three distinct models—the Spark 40, Spark 40 Pro, and Spark 40 Pro+—Tecno continues to blur the lines between affordability and premium performance. Starting at just $133, this series packs powerful specs, stylish designs, and smooth high-refresh displays that rival much more expensive smartphones.
One of the standout features of the Spark 40 Series is its impressive display technology. The Spark 40 Pro and Pro+ come with 6.78-inch AMOLED screens, offering a sharp 1220p+ resolution and an ultra-smooth 144Hz refresh rate, which ensures fluid scrolling, vibrant colors, and immersive viewing—ideal for gaming and media consumption.
The Spark 40 Pro+ goes even further with a curved AMOLED display and an under-display fingerprint sensor, giving it a flagship-level look and feel. For those looking for something more basic yet functional, the Spark 40 offers a 6.67-inch IPS LCD screen with a 120Hz refresh rate—still impressive for its price tag.
All three phones are available in stylish color variants including Ink Black, Moon Titanium, White, and Grey, catering to different style preferences.
Under the hood, Tecno introduces the brand-new MediaTek Helio G200 chip in the Spark 40 Pro+—making it the first phone to use this processor. This chip is designed for strong multitasking and gaming performance, paired with 8GB RAM and up to 256GB internal storage.
The Spark 40 Pro runs on the Helio G100, while the base Spark 40 uses the Helio G81—both capable processors for day-to-day use, ensuring smooth app navigation and efficient performance. All three models run HiOS 15.1 based on the latest Android 15, bringing a modern interface and advanced software capabilities.
Camera-wise, Tecno keeps things simple yet effective. All models come with a 50MP main camera on the back. While the Pro and Pro+ variants also include secondary sensors (likely for depth or macro), they are primarily focused on delivering quality social media-ready photos.
For selfies, the Spark 40 sports an 8MP front camera, while the Pro and Pro+ models upgrade to 13MP front shooters—great for selfies, vlogging, or video calling.
The entire Tecno Spark 40 Series is equipped with a 5,200mAh battery, ensuring you get through the day without needing a charge. The Pro+ variant stands out again with 45W wired charging, 30W wireless charging, and 5W reverse wireless charging—a rare feature even in much more expensive phones.
The Spark 40 and Spark 40 Pro also support 45W wired fast charging, making them extremely convenient for users who are always on the go.
Tecno has managed to balance performance and pricing remarkably well. Here’s how the pricing breaks down:
