Let’s accept it- the budget-price smartphone niche is highly competitive. If a smartphone company wants to make a mark here, it needs to proffer the users something really special. TECNO, with one of its latest smartphones, SPARK 5 Pro, seems to be doing just that.
Tecno Spark 5 Pro is a really smart addition to its already popular Spark Series. The high-on value-for-money phone comes with various new upgrades, merging enticing features with brand value and offering the set at a pretty affordable price. It gloats of Octa-core MediaTek Helio A25 processor with 28GB ROM+4GB RAM and 64GB ROM + 3GB RAM memory options. While the tech world is always dynamic, TECNO Spark 5 Pro does seem to please most of the buyers.
Here is our more detailed review of TECNO Spark 5 Pro, along with its specifications:
Display and camera
TECNO Spark 5 Pro enjoys the familiar Touchscreen display with a screen size of 6.60 inches; something that is good enough to enjoy your movies and videos yet small enough to carry and slide inside your pocket.
When it comes to camera and photography elements, TECNO Spark 5 Pro has a lot to talk about. In the rear setup, it has a 16 MP main camera, a 2 MP Macro Lens (for a close-up shot), and a 2 MP depth Lens. Add to it an 8 X digital zoom capability to accentuate the images with details. In the case of low-light environments, you have the quad rear flash to make the shot clear and bright. AI HDR is effective in adjusting the light part and making the shot detail-rich. Other features that are worth highlighting include a fully upgraded, AI Bokeh Effect.
In the front, you have an 8 MP camera plus AI to ensure your selfies turn out to be beautiful and bright. The front flash is Dual LED (always convenient and preferred by today’s selfie-geeks). The display resolution of 720x1600 pixels seems neat too.
Hardware and storage
The TECNO Spark 5 Pro phone has an Octa-core processor with the signature of MediaTek Helio A25. It offers 28GB ROM+4GB RAM and 64GB ROM + 3GB RAM memory options. No matter which type of memory option you prefer, it is lot of space for an average user and you cannot expect anything better at this pocket-friendly price.
Software and Battery
TECNO Spark 5 Pro uses the operating system of Android 10 with HiOs skin, ensuring the user a satisfying speed and smoothness when enjoying multimedia functions or games. Long-lasting battery performance is assured with its non-removable 5000 mAh battery and a smart power-saving system. Among the connectivity options are Wi-Fi, GPS, USB OTG, and FM radio. In addition to all that, there’s 4G VoLTE for super-clear voice calls over Wi-Fi.
The phone supports both Face Unlock and Fingerprint Sensor, and we believe this duo will delight the buyers more during the ongoing pandemic. It would be easier to get into the phone when you’re wearing a mask.
Appearance and dimensions
The TECNO Spark 5 Pro phone has an appealing appearance. Its dimensions are 164.70mm x 76.30mm x 8.75mm and it comes in some cool colors. Ice Jadeite, Spark Orange, Cloud White and Seabed Blue are the various available colors with Spark Orange lending it a unique and funky appearance. One may say that there is a colour for almost every age-group. One really special feature is that it has the front selfie camera placed in the upper left-hand corner, which is a rarity for mobile phones under the low price bracket. TECNO has this time decided to brighten things up on the colour front, offering a matte-like glossy finish, which deftly conceals finger marks and smudges.
In addition to being elegantly slim and light, it has rounded sides and corners, giving you a good hold over the device when you use it one-handed.
Overall Review:
TECNO Spark 5 Pro here seems to have just found the right balance between all the much-wanted features and affordability.
