The Tecno Spark 40 Pro has officially launched in Pakistan with a price of PKR 49,000 (approximately PKR 47,000 after discounts). Tecno has been focusing on stylish design and feature-packed phones for budget-conscious buyers, but is the Spark 40 Pro worth your money, or should you look elsewhere? Let’s dive in.
Design & Build Quality
The Tecno Spark 40 Pro boasts a sleek design with slim bezels, giving it a premium vibe despite its mid-range pricing.
- Front Protection: Gorilla Glass 7i
- Back & Frame: Plastic, but feels solid in hand
- IP64 Rating: Splash and dust resistance
- Included Accessories: Soft silicone case matching the phone color
Other design highlights:
- IR Blaster for controlling home electronics
- 3.5mm headphone jack (rare at this price now)
- Triple card slot (dual SIM + microSD)
Display: Smooth AMOLED with 120Hz Refresh Rate
The Spark 40 Pro features a Full HD+ AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate. While Tecno markets it as a 1.5K display, it’s closer to an upscaled FHD+ panel, still impressive for its price.
- Widevine L1 support for HD Netflix streaming
- No HDR support
- Great brightness for outdoor visibility
- Balanced, natural color reproduction
Audio & Connectivity Features
Audio and everyday usability are strong points for the Spark 40 Pro:
- Stereo speakers (bottom speaker louder)
- Side-mounted fingerprint sensor (fast & accurate)
- NFC support for contactless payments
- Wi-Fi calling & call recording support
Performance & Storage
Powered by a MediaTek G-series chipset, the Spark 40 Pro is tuned for casual users and light multitasking rather than gaming.
- RAM & Storage: 8GB RAM (expandable) + 256GB UFS 2.2 storage
- Antutu Score: ~460,000 (solid but not class-leading)
- Gaming: Medium settings for PUBG and similar games, though gyro sensor delay is noticeable
For day-to-day tasks, this phone performs smoothly, but hardcore gamers may want to look elsewhere.
Battery & Charging
Battery life is one of the Spark 40 Pro’s biggest strengths:
- Battery: 5,200mAh
- Charging: 45W fast charging
- Screen-On Time: Around 7–8 hours with moderate use
- Full Charge: About 1 hour
Camera Review: Great Photos, Weak Video
The Tecno Spark 40 Pro improves its camera performance compared to many budget rivals.
- Main Camera: 50MP
- Front Camera: 13MP selfie shooter
- Photo Quality: Sharp, bright, and detailed shots, especially in good lighting
- Video Performance:
- Max resolution: 2K (front and back)
- Weak stabilization makes it less ideal for vloggers or video creators.
Software: HiOS 15 with Android 15
The Spark 40 Pro runs HiOS 15 based on Android 15. It’s feature-packed and smooth, but comes with bloatware apps that users may find unnecessary.
Tecno promises:
- 3 years of major Android updates
- 5 years of security patches
(Time will tell how consistent these updates are.)
Pros:
- Slim, stylish design
- AMOLED 120Hz display
- Excellent battery life + 45W charging
- IR blaster, NFC, call recording
- Strong photo performance
Cons:
- Slightly overpriced vs. competitors
- Gyro delay affects gaming experience.
- Weak video stabilization
- Plastic build (though sturdy)
- HiOS bloatware
Tecno Spark 40 Pro Price in Pakistan
- Launch Price: PKR 49,000
- Discounted Price: PKR 47,000
This pricing puts it in direct competition with Redmi Note and Realme mid-range devices. The premium design and AMOLED screen give it a unique edge in this segment.
Final Verdict: Worth It or Skip It?
The Tecno Spark 40 Pro is a stylish, feature-packed daily driver for users who prioritize battery life, display quality, and casual photography. However, gamers and content creators may find its performance and video stabilization underwhelming.
If you want a budget-friendly phone that looks premium and handles daily use well, this is a strong contender but a bit pricey, especially at its discounted price.
