Tecno Spark 7 smartphones launch in South Africa – price and details
Tecno has announced the launch of its Spark 7 series of smartphones in South Africa, along with the price range for the devices.
The series includes the standard Spark 7 and the Spark 7 Pro.
“We aim to provide the best contemporary technology in artistic designs and elegant taste,” Tecno Mobile General Manager Stephen Ha said in a statement.
“The Tecno Spark 7 series reflects our promise to millennials, Gen-Z by offering advanced technology at affordable prices.”
Spark 7 and 7 Pro features
Both phones come with large displays, large batteries, and Tecno’s HiOS software based on Android 11.
The Spark 7 is the more affordable of the two devices. While it has a slightly smaller screen and one less camera lens, it actually comes with a bigger battery.
It features a 6.5-inch HD+ display with a 16MP dual-lens setup for its main camera. It also comes with an 8MP selfie camera.
In terms of its battery, the phone comes equipped with a 6000mAh capacity. According to Tecno, this means it can last up to 30 days on standby.
