Smartphones Keep Getting Smarter, and More Accessible @TECNOMobileSA #Spark10Series

Hi Guys, 

Smartphone makers continue to innovate and develop more and more impressive tech with their devices

As smartphone makers keep developing, improving and innovating their technologies, not only is there more choice of device for phone users, but the devices’ features and specs keep getting smarter.

Long gone are the days when you struggled to find a semi-decent smartphone. Nowadays finding a phone that will meet all your needs and wants in life (and even go above and beyond those) is easier than ever before.

Photography made easy

When discussing advances in the quality and capabilities of phones, camera setups immediately come to mind. Capturing life’s memorable moments through photos and videos is something that occupies the time of many people, and with selfies having become so popular, phone cameras need to produce quality, crystal-clear pics. The capabilities of phone cameras have developed so much that some argue that you no longer need to take a traditional camera with you wherever you go; simply pull out your phone and snap away. You also don’t have to be a photography expert to take stunning pictures. The technology does a lot of, if not all of the work for you so that all you need to focus on is striking your best pose. One such example is the SPARK 10 Pro from TECNO, which boasts a 32MP front camera with a three-tier adjustable brightness flashlight so that you’re able to capture selfies no matter where you are or the lighting conditions around you.

Longer-lasting batteries and high-speed charging

Another aspect of phones that has developed rapidly is the battery size. With more and more time being spent on phones due to work and personal matters, and with many high-intensity activities being done on them (think apps, gaming, social media browsing etc.), batteries need to be robust and long-lasting. These days, most smartphones that are worth their salt have a 5,000mAh battery, reflected in all of TECNO’s new devices that it recently brought to South Africa (SPARK 10 Pro, SPARK 10 5G, SPARK 10C, SPARK Go 2023, and POP 7). Charging speeds have also become faster and faster, as who wants to wait for hours while their phone has to be connected to a plug point? With loadshedding remaining an everyday occurrence, having long-lasting phone battery life and the ability to top it up quickly remains a high priority.

Memory Fusion for more convenience

A phone technology that has been developed and is constantly being worked on is Memory Fusion. This technology draws unused read-only memory (ROM) and channels it to random access memory (RAM) operations. This enhances the device’s multi-tasking capacity, allows for seamless switching between applications that are running concurrently in the background, quickly retrieves frequently accessed files and apps, reduces lag when online gaming, and stabilises the phone’s systems for more sustainable performance and longer battery life. All of TECNO’s new devices in South Africa come with this technology. What is exclusive about Memory Fusion to TECNO is the three options that users can choose from when expanding their RAM, rather than being limited to just one.

The 5G future

As 5G coverage continues to be rolled out further in South Africa, more smartphone makers are bringing 5G phones to the market. TECNO’s SPARK 10 5G device recently arrived in the country and is all about speed; bringing faster internet browsing, less lag with online activities, and low latency when it comes to connectivity. This means that scrolling, posting on social media, online gaming, streaming your favourite movies and series, meetings, connecting with family and friends, and other activities you use your phone for are seamless and effortless.

Alongside all of the aforementioned technological advancements, it will be interesting to see what developments and innovations smartphone makers come up with next. All in a quest to make their users’ lives more accessible, convenient and fun.

Availability

SPARK 10 Pro, SPARK 10 5G, SPARK 10C, SPARK Go 2023, and POP 7 are all available from select TECNO retail partners, including Ackermans, Edgars, Game, Jet, Makro, Mr Price, TFG, and Vodacom (availability varies per retailer and per model and while stocks last) for a recommended retail price of R6,999 for SPARK 10 Pro, R5,499 for SPARK 10 5G, R3,499 for SPARK 10C, R2,499 for SPARK Go 2023, and R1,999 for POP 7.

TECNO’s Top Tips: Features and Specs to Look for When Getting Your Next Phone @TECNOMobileSA

Hi Guys, 

From photography setup and battery size to display specs, storage space size and pricing, there’s a lot to consider when looking for a new cellphone

Cell phones have become a focal point of our lives, whether they are for business or personal use. They are communication channels with family and friends, sources of news as you browse the internet, your on-the-go office, and entertainment hubs with all your favourite series, movies or mobile games. In order for you to enjoy all of these things and much more, a cellphone must offer a smooth, efficient, and effortless user experience, and this is brought about by a number of different specs and features incorporated into the cellphone. Here are TECNO’s top tips of what to look for in a cellphone when considering which new one to get.

Ample Processing Power and Storage Space

The heart of any amazing mobile experience is the engine that is powering the phone. Does it offer an efficient and powerful performance and how does it translate to a smooth and efficient user experience? This is a combination of the phone’s chipset (the engine of the phone) and the amount of random-access memory (RAM) and read-only memory (ROM) that the device has. For example, TECNO’s new SPARK 10 Pro is driven by a powerful MediaTek Helio G88 chipset and comes with 256GB ROM and 8GB RAM (expandable to up to 16GB RAM).

TECNO’s newest phones, including the SPARK 10 5G, also come with a technology called Memory Fusion. This draws unused ROM and channels it for RAM operations. By allocating more storage to RAM, boosts the device’s performance by enhancing multi-tasking capacity, allowing for seamless switching between applications that are running concurrently in the background, quickly retrieving frequently accessed files and apps, and stabilising the phone’s systems for more sustainable performance and longer battery life.

Storage space is also something important to look at. The higher the ROM, the better, as illustrated by the new SPARK 10C that has 128GB ROM. There is nothing more frustrating than running out of space on your device for all your apps, games, pictures, videos, and files, especially if you are a selfie fanatic!

A-grade Camera Setup

Speaking of selfies, a good quality camera setup is another feature to look for, if you are intending to capture special moments in your life through photos and videos. Looking at the number of megapixels is a good start, but it goes much deeper than that. The number of cameras the device has, sensor size, flash setup, different types of lenses, image stabilisation, aperture, and editing functions are all things to consider. Most current smartphones have decent camera setups, with the technology doing most of the work for you, and the good news is that mobile companies are constantly innovating and refining to bring even more advanced camera systems. TECNO is one such example, with the tech giant bringing a 32MP selfie camera with its SPARK 10 Pro. This is accompanied by an adjustable dual flash, which translates to superb selfies no matter the lighting conditions. The device also has a 50MP rear camera (also with adjustable dual flash).

Next Level Visual Experiences

If you love watching series and movies or playing games on your phone, then a larger screen size adds to the visual experience. The refresh rate the device has is also something to ask about as a higher one makes the content displayed look and feel smoother and sharper. The SPARK 10 Pro, for example, has a 6.8-inch FHD+ display with a refresh rate of up to 90Hz, giving the user a stunning visual experience, while the SPARK 10 5G boasts a 6.6-inch HD+ display, also with a 90Hz refresh rate.

A Bigger Battery is Better

A larger battery included in a phone has more capacity and, depending on the power intensity requirements of the user, should deliver longer phone usage. In most phones nowadays, you will find a battery sized 4000mAh to 7000mAh. For most requirements a 5,000mAh is a good battery size to aim for, hence its inclusion in TECNO’s newest phones, including the SPARK 10 5G, SPARK 10 Pro, SPARK 10C, and SPARK Go 2023.

Aesthetics and Pricing

Aside from top-tier technology, another element of a phone is the look and feel. Does it look pre-eminent? And do you enjoy holding it in your hands? TECNO’s SPARK 10 Pro brings a sleek and trendy design, featuring a hard-wearing, starry glass back panel, resulting in a premium look and a comfortable feel. The SPARK 10 5G is also stunning to look at and comfortable to hold.

In these tough economic times, pricing should also be top of mind. You want great value for money with a phone cost that isn’t going to destroy your bank account. Comparing how much you are spending with what you are getting in terms of features and specs is a good measure of this. TECNO’s range of new phones, which recently arrived in South Africa, all bring an affordability factor.

Five New Choices for South Africans

These phones include the SPARK 10 Pro, SPARK 10 5G, SPARK 10C, SPARK Go 2023, and POP 7.

They are all available from select TECNO retail partners, including Ackermans, Edgars, Game, Jet, Makro, Mr Price, TFG, and Vodacom (availability varies per retailer and per model and while stocks last) for a recommended retail price of R6,999 for SPARK 10 Pro, R5,499 for SPARK 10 5G, R3,499 for SPARK 10C, R2,499 for SPARK Go 2023, and R1,999 for POP 7.

Check out one of the Tecno Spark 10C smartphones I received some days back for review and now is back with the Tecno Team.

Hi Guys, 

SPARK 10 5G from TECNO Brings the Speed

The choice of new devices that are available to South Africans from TECNO continues to grow, with SPARK 10 5G being the latest added to the list.

This comes after the arrival of SPARK 10 Pro, SPARK 10C, SPARK GO 2023, and POP 7 in the country.

The SPARK 10 5G, now available in South Africa, is all about speed; bringing faster internet browsing, less lag with online activities, and low latency when it comes to connectivity.

Dive into a world of high-speed connectivity and experience faster upload and download speeds, a major positive for anyone who uses their phone for pretty much everything in their life.

More Than Simply 5G

It’s not only the 5G capability that makes TECNO’s SPARK 10 5G an attractive option for South Africans, as the device comes with other impressive features and specs.

These include a 6’6-inch HD screen that offers an amazing viewing experience for all your favourite content and mobile games; a long-lasting 5000mAh battery, which goes from zero to 50% charged in just 50 minutes thanks to an 18W in-the-box fast charger; the latest Android 13 software; and storage capacity of 64GB ROM.

The device’s camera setup is also something to talk about, with a 50MP rear camera complemented by an 8MP selfie camera.
