In a market saturated with smartphones, it’s rare for a device to truly stand out. Yet, Tecno has once again proven its mastery of the Kenyan market with a phone that is not just an upgrade, but an evolution. The new Tecno Spark 40 Pro+ (128GB/8GB) has arrived, and it’s here to redefine what a mid-range smartphone can be.
Priced at a highly competitive KSh 22,000, this phone is a testament to Tecno’s commitment to bringing premium features to an accessible price point. And for you, the savvy Kenyan consumer, there’s no better place to get your hands on this marvel of technology than at Mobihub Electronics. This isn’t just a phone; it’s a statement of style, power, and innovation. Let’s delve into what makes the Spark 40 Pro+ a true flagship killer in its class.
The Design: Where Premium Meets Practicality
The moment you hold the Tecno Spark 40 Pro+ in your hand, you’ll be struck by its premium feel. Tecno has pushed the boundaries of design in the mid-range, crafting a device that is not just aesthetically pleasing but also incredibly ergonomic. The phone’s ultra-thin 6.5mm profile and feather-light weight of just 160g make it a delight to hold. It feels sleek, modern, and far more expensive than its price tag suggests.
The most noticeable design upgrade is the curved AMOLED display. This gently sloping screen melts into the phone’s frame, creating a seamless and immersive viewing experience. The back panel is made from a durable yet stylish plastic with a glossy finish, available in a range of sophisticated colors like Nebula Black, Aurora White, and Moon Titanium. The flat-edged frame of the previous model has been replaced by a more refined, curved design that enhances the in-hand feel and gives the phone a distinctive, high-end look.
Durability hasn’t been sacrificed for style. The Spark 40 Pro+ comes with Corning Gorilla Glass 7i for exceptional screen protection against scratches and drops. Furthermore, it boasts an IP64 rating for dust and water resistance. This is a game-changing feature in Kenya, where daily life can expose your phone to dust from a dusty urban street or an unexpected rain shower. With the Spark 40 Pro+, you get peace of mind that your device is built to handle the hustle.
A Display That Redefines the Mid-Range
While its predecessor, the Spark 40 Pro, had an excellent display, the “Plus” model takes it to a new dimension. The Tecno Spark 40 Pro+ features a mesmerizing 6.78-inch 1.5K curved AMOLED display. This is a combination of features that is simply unheard of in this price category.
- 1.5K Resolution: The resolution of 1224×2720 pixels translates to a pixel density of approximately 440 ppi. This means text is exceptionally crisp and images are unbelievably sharp, providing a visual feast that you’d normally only find on flagship devices.
- 144Hz Refresh Rate: The fluidity of the 144Hz refresh rate is a sight to behold. Every swipe, scroll, and animation is buttery smooth, making the user interface a joy to interact with. For mobile gamers, this higher refresh rate provides a competitive edge with zero lag and instant responsiveness.
- Curved AMOLED Technology: The curved edges add a touch of elegance and visual immersion. The AMOLED panel delivers true blacks and an infinite contrast ratio, making colors pop with incredible vibrancy.
- Staggering Brightness: The screen can reach a peak brightness of an incredible 4500 nits, ensuring perfect legibility even under the intense Kenyan sun. Whether you’re navigating using Google Maps or watching a movie outdoors, the screen remains crystal clear.
This display isn’t just a feature; it’s an experience. It’s the single most compelling reason to consider the Spark 40 Pro+ and a feature that firmly places it in a league of its own.
Performance: The Helio G200 Ultimate Unleashed
Powering this technological marvel is the all-new MediaTek Helio G200 Ultimate chipset, built on a 6nm process. This is the first time this powerful chipset has been seen in a smartphone, and it’s a clear indication that Tecno is not just following trends but setting them.
With an enhanced CPU and GPU, the Helio G200 offers a significant performance boost over its predecessors. Paired with a massive 8GB of RAM (and up to 16GB with Extended RAM technology), the Spark 40 Pro+ handles everything from heavy multitasking to graphically intensive games with ease. The phone feels snappy, responsive, and completely lag-free.
The device runs on the latest Android 15 with Tecno’s refined and optimized HIOS 15 software. This new version of HIOS is cleaner, more efficient, and packed with intelligent AI features, including the new FreeLink technology. FreeLink allows you to make direct device-to-device calls and share files without a cellular or Wi-Fi signal, a feature that is incredibly useful in areas with poor network coverage. The integration of AI also extends to the camera and user interface, making the entire experience smarter and more personalized.
A Camera System Built for Every Moment
Tecno has equipped the Spark 40 Pro+ with a highly capable camera system that is designed to capture your life in vivid detail. The main camera is a 50MP sensor with gyro-EIS (Electronic Image Stabilization), which ensures your photos and videos are steady and sharp. Whether you’re capturing the bustling markets of Nairobi or a serene sunset over the Maasai Mara, the camera performs exceptionally well in a variety of lighting conditions.
The front-facing camera is a sharp 13MP sensor with a unique dual-LED flash. This is a feature that selfie lovers will adore, as it guarantees perfectly lit and flattering portraits even in low-light environments. The camera also includes advanced AI features that automatically detect scenes and optimize settings, making it easy for anyone to take great photos. For video, you can record up to 1440p@30fps, giving you professional-quality video for social media and memories.
Unmatched Battery and Charging: Beyond the Wires
The Tecno Spark 40 Pro+ is built for endurance. It packs a robust 5200mAh battery that can easily get you through a full day of heavy use and often into a second day. But what truly sets this phone apart from every single one of its rivals in the Kenyan market is its charging capabilities.
- 45W Wired Super Charging: This is incredibly fast charging that can take your phone from 0 to 100% in just under an hour.
- 30W Magnetic Wireless Charging: The Spark 40 Pro+ is the world’s thinnest curved phone to feature wireless charging, a technology that is a pure convenience. You can simply place the phone on a wireless charging pad to top it up, no cables needed.
- Reverse Charging: The phone also supports 5W reverse wireless charging and 10W wired reverse charging, allowing you to share power with other devices and accessories, a feature that makes it an indispensable tool for every tech-savvy user.
This comprehensive charging suite is an absolute game-changer. For a price of KSh 22,000, having both wired and wireless charging is a luxury that no other brand offers.
The “Plus” Advantage: Features That Set It Apart
Beyond the core specs, the Spark 40 Pro+ comes with a host of other features that make it a truly complete package:
- Dual Stereo Speakers with Dolby Atmos: Experience rich, immersive, and loud audio for all your media consumption.
- Hi-Res Audio Support: Listen to your favorite music in stunning quality, both wired and wireless.
- In-Display Fingerprint Sensor: The optical under-display fingerprint sensor is fast, reliable, and adds a touch of modern convenience.
- Infrared (IR) Blaster: Use your phone as a universal remote for all your home appliances.
- Super WiFi 2.0: With dual antennas, the phone ensures faster and more stable Wi-Fi connections.
Clear Unique Comparison: Tecno Spark 40 Pro+ vs. The Rest
At KSh 22,000, the Tecno Spark 40 Pro+ is not just competing; it’s dominating. Here’s a clear and unique comparison with its closest rivals to show you exactly why it’s the smarter choice at Mobihub Electronics.
1. Tecno Spark 40 Pro+ vs. Tecno Spark 40 Pro
This is the most direct comparison. The “Plus” model justifies its KSh 2,500 price increase with some significant upgrades.
- Display: The Pro+ features a curved AMOLED display, which is visually more stunning and premium than the flat AMOLED panel on the Pro.
- Performance: The Helio G200 Ultimate in the Pro+ is a superior and more powerful chipset than the Helio G100 in the Pro, offering better performance for gaming and demanding apps.
- Charging: The Pro+ adds a new dimension of convenience with its 30W magnetic wireless charging and 5W reverse wireless charging, features that are completely absent on the standard Pro model.
- Design: The Pro+ is thinner (6.5mm) and lighter (160g) with a more ergonomic curved design.
Verdict: The Spark 40 Pro is a fantastic phone, but the Spark 40 Pro+ takes every key feature and elevates it. The addition of wireless charging, a curved display, and a more powerful chipset make it a worthwhile upgrade and the clear better choice for those who can afford the extra cost.
2. Tecno Spark 40 Pro+ vs. Infinix Note 40
Infinix is Tecno’s main rival in the Kenyan market, and the Note 40 is a strong competitor. However, the Spark 40 Pro+ still has some clear advantages.
- Display: While both phones have a high-refresh-rate AMOLED display, the Spark 40 Pro+ features a stunning 1.5K resolution and a smoother 144Hz refresh rate, compared to the Note 40’s FHD+ and 120Hz.
- Charging: Both phones have fast wired charging and wireless charging. However, the Spark 40 Pro+ pushes the envelope with 30W magnetic wireless charging and the added convenience of reverse wireless charging, making it a more versatile device.
- Performance: The Tecno Spark 40 Pro+ with its new Helio G200 Ultimate chipset often edges out the Infinix Note 40’s chipset in performance benchmarks.
Verdict: The Spark 40 Pro+ is a compelling alternative, offering a superior display and a more versatile charging system, making it a powerful rival to the Note 40.
3. Tecno Spark 40 Pro+ vs. Samsung Galaxy A17
Samsung’s budget phones, like the Galaxy A17, rely heavily on brand name, but they fall short on features and value for money.
- Display: The Galaxy A17’s display is a standard PLS LCD with a low refresh rate. This is an immediate deal-breaker when compared to the Tecno’s stunning 1.5K curved AMOLED 144Hz screen.
- Charging: The Galaxy A17’s wired charging is significantly slower, and it completely lacks any form of wireless or reverse charging. The Tecno Spark 40 Pro+ is leagues ahead with its full charging suite.
- Unique Features: The Tecno offers an in-display fingerprint sensor, dual stereo speakers with Dolby Atmos, and an IP64 rating, none of which are available on the A17.
Verdict: The Tecno Spark 40 Pro+ offers a vastly superior user experience for the same or a slightly higher price. It’s a no-contest, as the Tecno phone is a more modern, capable, and feature-rich device.
