DISPLAY

TECNO Spark 40 is a brilliant example of how to blend smooth performance with a sleek design.

It features a spacious 6.67-inch IPS LCD display that really makes the most of its size, creating a stunning backdrop for everything from scrolling through social media to binge-watching your favorite shows. With a centered punch-hole for the front camera, TECNO has cleverly optimized the screen-to-body ratio, giving you that immersive “all-display” experience that’s hard to find in budget phones. But what really sets this phone apart is its impressive 120Hz refresh rate. This tech makes every swipe, animation, and transition feel super smooth, effectively getting rid of the annoying “stutter” that often plagues entry-level devices. Whether you’re navigating the HiOS interface or diving into fast-paced games, the extra frames per second deliver a responsiveness that feels truly high-end. Plus, with a high touch-sampling rate, the screen picks up your touches almost instantly. You’ll also appreciate the HD+ resolution (720 × 1600), which strikes a nice balance between sharp visuals and battery life. While it’s designed to save power, the display doesn’t skimp on vibrancy; it boasts enhanced color calibration that makes images pop and text look sharp. And if you’re using it outdoors, the screen is built to handle bright sunlight, so you won’t be squinting at your notifications while you’re on the go. Lastly, TECNO has added some nifty “Smart Display” software features to boost the hardware. This includes an AI-driven Eye Care mode that filters out blue light, making late-night browsing a lot easier on your eyes. The display also features the Dynamic Port—a smart software overlay around the camera cutout that expands to show charging status, face unlock animations, and call info without interrupting what you’re doing.

PROCESSOR

TECNO Spark 40 runs on the MediaTek Helio G81 chipset, a 4G processor crafted to deliver reliable daily performance while being power-efficient. Built using a 12nm FinFET process, this octa-core powerhouse features a “big.LITTLE” architecture, which pairs two high-performance ARM Cortex-A75 cores (running at 2.0GHz) for demanding tasks with six energy-efficient ARM Cortex-A55 cores (at 1.8GHz) for lighter background activities. This clever setup keeps the phone responsive during everyday tasks—like scrolling through social media or streaming HD videos—while also extending the life of its impressive 5200mAh battery. For graphics and gaming, the processor comes with the ARM Mali-G52 MC2 GPU, which can reach speeds of up to 950MHz. This graphics unit is specifically tuned to enhance the Spark 40’s 120Hz high-refresh-rate display, offering a smooth user interface experience that’s quite rare in budget phones. While it may not be a top-tier gaming chip, it easily manages popular games like Mobile Legends or Free Fire on medium settings. To further enhance stability, TECNO incorporates MediaTek’s HyperEngine 2.0 Lite technology, which smartly allocates CPsU and GPU resources to avoid overheating and frame drops during long gaming sessions. One of the most impressive features of this processor is the “4-Year Lag-Free” guarantee.

STORAGE AND MEMORY

Advanced RAM Management with Memory Fusion

The Spark 40 offers a range of RAM options, typically kicking off at either 4GB or 8GB. But what really sets it apart is TECNO’s innovative Memory Fusion technology. This clever system takes advantage of any unused space in the internal storage (ROM) and transforms it into virtual RAM. With the top-tier 8GB model, you can boost your working memory to an impressive 16GB. This smart optimization means your phone can keep more apps running in the background, which significantly cuts down on those annoying “reload” times when you’re flipping between social media, your camera, and the browser.

Spacious Internal Storage Option

When it comes to managing files and  media, the Spark 40 is available in 128GB and 256GB internal storage options. That’s plenty of space for thousands of stunning photos from the 50MP camera, hours of video, and hefty gaming files. While many budget phones still use slower eMMC technology, the Spark 40 opts for more advanced storage standards, ensuring that installing apps and transferring files won’t slow you down during your daily activities.

Limitless Expansion via MicroSD

Recognizing that power users and content creators often crave more space, TECNO has thoughtfully included a dedicated microSDXC slot. Unlike those “hybrid” trays that force you to choose between a second SIM card or extra storage, the Spark 40 lets you use both two SIM cards and a memory card at the same time. This means you can expand your total storage by up to an additional 1TB, so you’ll never have to part with old memories to make way for new ones.
