What’s Special about Spark 10 Pro
Tecno has released a couple of smartphones recently, and most times, you might find it hard to differentiate one from another. However, Tecno lovers will be eager to know what makes the Spark 10 Pro special, which I will explain below.
Attractive Design
One of the things that makes this phone special is the iPhone look-alike design, which might be one of the phone’s selling points. Though, there is no special hardware like scratch-proof or AMOLED screen display with protective Gorilla Glass.
Android 13 Os, together with HIOS 12.6
This will be an opportunity to see what the latest Android 13 offers. Many have not had the opportunity to explore the features and functionalities of the latest Google innovation because they are still using the old version of the Tecno smartphone. Still, with the Spark 10 Pro, you will see, feel and enjoy everything Android 13 Os offers. Thanks to the friendly user interface and features brought by Tecno’s HIOS 12.6.
The 16GB RAM
16GB RAM is huge, and it represents more power and enhanced performance and functionalities. With the latest Android 13 together with Mediatek Helio G8 chipset, you are surely ready to play heavy-duty games that you might not be able to play on other phones because the new Tecno spark 10 Pro has got all the power it needs to handle those heavy task seamlessly.
Without any doubt, Tecno Spark 10 Pro is packaged with many unique features. Still, nothing is too special about it outside the design, the 16GB RAM, big 256GB storage and the ability to explore the world with the latest Android 13 operating system. I will share other features but wouldn’t add them to the special ones because there is nothing special about them that we have not seen before in other Tecno phones.
Spark 10 Pro Vs Spark 9 Pro
Many of us will love to know what differentiates the new Spark 10 pro from its immediate predecessor Tecno Spark 9 Pro, and I will help you with the answer. However, the release of Spark 10 Pro is an upgrade in certain areas. Let me explain.
One of the noticeable differences between the Tecno Spark 10 Pro and the Tecno Spark 9 Pro is the design. Spark 10 Pro looks better, bigger and smarter. The phone offers 8GB RAM and between 128GB to 256GB storage memory instead of the 4/6GB RAM and 128GB storage memory that Spark 9 Pro offers. The display size is also not the same, and Spark 10 Pro has 6.8 inches display size with a 90Hz refresh rate while Spark 9 Pro has 6.6 inches display without any specified screen refresh rate.
Regarding the operating system, we can see that the Spark 10 Pro has been upgraded to Android 13, HIOS 12.6 Operating system, while Spark 9 Pro comes with Android 12, HIOS 8.6 Os. However, they both have Mediatek Helio G88 (Spark 10) and Mediatek Helio G85 (Spark 9). They are also powered by an Octa-core processor that guarantees optimum performance.
As for the camera, they both come with a 50MP triple rear camera and 32MP front camera, and I don’t see many upgrades in terms of the camera, though their respective configurations make the difference. The battery remains 5000 mAh with the same 18W fast charge. They both support Type-C charging ports and have the same side-mounted fingerprint sensor.
Tecno might bring out the 5G version of the phone, but I am not sure how soon. The AMOLED display would have made the phone more expensive if it had been added to the Spark 10 Pro. You should understand that some features must be compromised to keep the phone’s price down and within reach of many users.
The new Spark 10 Pro is available and currently selling between ₦118,000 – ₦135,000 in Nigeria. If you wish to see the current price or buy right now, you can grab one straight from Jumia Nigeria.
