TECNO Spark 40 5G goes official

TECNO has launched the 5G version of its Spark 40, showcasing the brand’s refreshed design language. The Spark 40 5G sports a vertical camera island similar to the new Spark Slim, housing a 50MP main camera and a secondary sensor, while a 5MP selfie shooter sits up front.

Under the hood, the phone runs on a MediaTek Dimensity 6400 processor, an upgrade over the Helio G81 found in the 4G variant. It comes in 4GB or 8GB RAM and up to 256GB of storage. Powering it is a 6,000mAh battery rated to maintain 80% health after 1,600 charging cycles or about five years of regular use.

The Spark 40 5G features a large 6.75-inch HD+ display with a smooth 120Hz refresh rate. Other highlights include IP64 dust and water resistance, TECNO’s FreeLink tech for Bluetooth calling, and AI tools such as AI Eraser 2.0, Ella Assistant, and AI Writer. Pricing and availability are yet to be announced.
