Looking for a budget smartphone under PHP 9,000?
The Tecno Spark 30 and the Infinix Hot 50 Pro Plus are two top contenders packed with features that punch way above their price tags. But which one is the better pick? Let’s break it down!
The Tecno Spark 30 catches your eye with its bold Bumblebee Edition design and IP64 rating for splash resistance.
Meanwhile, the Infinix Hot 50 Pro Plus stands out with its ultra-slim 6.9 mm profile, 3D curved AMOLED display, and JBL-tuned stereo speakers.
When it comes to performance, the Helio G100 chipset in the Hot 50 Pro Plus leaves the Spark 30 trailing behind in benchmarks, offering faster speeds and smoother multitasking.
For cameras, both phones deliver good results for the price, but the Hot 50 Pro Plus wins again with its AMOLED screen and longer battery life, lasting over 23 hours in video loop tests.
And while the Spark 30 comes with a headphone jack, the Hot 50 Pro Plus offers better software support and a clear roadmap for updates.
Priced at PHP 8,499, the Infinix Hot 50 Pro Plus delivers more bang for your buck, but if you’re into flashy designs, the Tecno Spark 30 at PHP 8,999 might be the one for you.
