Meet the TECNO SPARK 30 Pro
We’ve got the TECNO SPARK 30 Pro here, and let me tell you, it's not just your average smartphone. This thing is built for fintech startups and crypto execs who need something that won't let them down. With gaming performance that’s pretty solid, multitasking that doesn't leave you hanging, and a battery that can keep up with the demands of modern life, this could be your next go-to device.
Gaming Performance and Multitasking
Gaming Experience
Now, let's talk gaming. The SPARK 30 Pro is powered by a MediaTek Helio G100 processor and a Mali-G57 MC2 GPU, and believe it or not, it holds its own. You can play heavyweights like Genshin Impact and Real Racing 3 at high settings, consistently hitting around 30-38fps for Genshin. Sure, it doesn't have the flashy frame rates of top-tier phones, but it's not too shabby.
But let’s be real, the more demanding games may stutter and drop a few frames, especially if you crank up the settings. I mean, Zenless Zone Zero was a bit of a mess compared to Genshin Impact. In contrast, flagship devices with more powerful processors like the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 series or Samsung Exynos 2200 handle that stuff way better.
Multitasking Skills
The SPARK 30 Pro also packs 8GB of RAM and up to 256GB of storage, which should be more than enough for most daily tasks. But don't be surprised if some apps take a couple of seconds to load or if you notice a few stutters in animations. The Helio G100’s benchmark scores are lower than those of flagship processors, which means it might not be the smoothest experience around.
Flagship phones typically come with more powerful processors and RAM, which gives them an edge when it comes to multitasking.
Battery Life and Charging
Battery Life
Now, if you're like me and can't stand a dead battery, you'll appreciate the 5000mAh battery in this phone. It can easily last a full day, even with heavy use—think streaming videos, gaming, and just fiddling around in apps. For lighter users, you're looking at a day and a half of battery life, which is always a plus for those of us who are constantly on the go.
Charging Speed
Plus, the 33W fast charging is a nice touch. You can go from 0% to 50% in about 30-40 minutes and fill it up completely in just over an hour. That means less time plugged into the wall and more time actually using the phone. For us busy bees who need to stay connected, that’s a must-have.
Design and Build Quality
TECNO really nailed the design here. It's light enough to handle without feeling like you're carrying a brick, but sturdy enough to survive a few accidents. The materials they used give it a premium feel—metal, glass, and plastic all come together nicely. And while they don’t shout “scratch resistance” from the rooftops, the included pouch does a solid job of keeping it intact.
In real life, the phone held up against water and dust, and while it may not be as rugged as some high-end models, it works for day-to-day use.
Display and Audio Experience
Display Quality
Now, the display is a 6.8-inch AMOLED with a 120Hz refresh rate, and it’s gorgeous. The colors are vibrant, animations are smooth, and the Eye Care feature is a blessing for long hours. It adapts between 60Hz, 90Hz, and 120Hz depending on what you’re doing, which is nice. Most people will probably stick to 60Hz, but I found the 90Hz setting a good balance. Even at 120Hz, the battery didn’t tank, which is a win.
Audio Quality
The sound from the Dolby Atmos dual speakers is impressive for a phone in this price range. Whether you're in a virtual battle or just chilling with some tunes, the audio is rich and immersive.
Camera Quality
And let's not forget the cameras. The SPARK 30 Pro has a 108 MP rear camera and a 13 MP front camera that are both standout features. The rear camera takes sharp, colorful shots even in low light, and the selfie cam captures vibrant, true-to-life colors. Recording in 2K is impressive, though stabilization could be better at the highest settings.
Summary: A Solid Choice for Professionals
At N247,000, the 128+8GB version of the TECNO SPARK 30 Pro is a solid deal. Its durability, performance, and thoughtful design make it a great option for anyone looking for a versatile smartphone experience. Whether you're gaming, snapping photos, or just want something reliable, this could be the phone for you.
