South Africans have warmly embraced TECNO’s new phones; TECNO introduces accessories and wearables to the SA market
With the arrival of its new smartphones in South Africa (including the SPARK 10 Series), TECNO is soaring to new heights, with more premium devices being taken up by South Africans. Indeed, TECNO is finding its home in the premium space, with the proof being the uptake of these devices and the acceptance by South African fans of the TECNO brand. This is testament to the great value for money and top-tier technology that these phones boast.
Stunning selfie camera setup
The SPARK 10 Series is headlined by the SPARK 10 Pro, whose standout feature is its 32MP front camera with three-tier adjustable brightness flashlight. This means you’re able to capture selfies no matter where you are or the lighting conditions around you. The front camera setup is complemented by a 50MP rear camera, which brings natural shots that are fully adapted to different skin tones. The device is powered by a MediaTek Helio G88 gaming processor, and comes with a massive 16GB Random Access Memory (RAM) (8GB+8GB extended) and 256GB read-only memory (ROM), geared up to elevate its performance in all aspects.
SPARK 10 Pro’s sister device, the SPARK 10 5G is all about speed; bringing faster internet browsing, less lag with online activities, and low latency when it comes to connectivity. This means that scrolling, posting on social media, online gaming, streaming your favourite movies and series, meetings, connecting with family and friends, and other activities you use your phone for are seamless and effortless. But this device is more than just 5G; equipped with a 6’6-inch HD screen that offers an amazing viewing experience for all your favourite content and mobile games, a 50MP rear camera complemented by an 8MP selfie camera, the latest Android 13 software, and storage capacity of 64GB ROM.
The SPARK 10C shouldn’t be forgotten about in the SPARK 10 Series, with some impressive features and specs included. This includes 128GB ROM, a 16-Megapixel rear camera, paired with an 8-Megapixel selfie camera, and a large 6.6-inch HD+ screen accompanied by a 90Hz refresh rate that provides a smooth and immersive viewing experience.
Alongside the SPARK 10 Series, TECNO also brought the SPARK GO 2023 and POP 7 smartphones to South Africa. Both these devices offer one of the biggest storage spaces for smartphones in their price ranges, of 64GB. They both have a 6.6-inch HD+ display, offering a crystal-clear visual experience, as well as a biometric fingerprint sensor to boost security.
Long-lasting battery and useful Memory Fusion
All of the aforementioned phones come with a long-lasting 5,000mAh battery, which eliminates the worry of your device dying when you need it the most, as well as TECNO’s Memory Fusion technology. This technology draws unused read-only memory (ROM) and channels it to random access memory (RAM) operations. This enhances the device’s multi-tasking capacity, allows for seamless switching between applications that are running concurrently in the background, quickly retrieves frequently accessed files and apps, reduces lag when online gaming, and stabilises the phone’s systems for more sustainable performance and longer battery life. What is exclusive about Memory Fusion to TECNO is the three options that users can choose from when expanding their RAM, rather than being limited to just one.
More than just smartphones
The latest exciting news from TECNO is that the brand is also bringing accessories and wearables to the South African market, for the first time ever! The four that are currently available are the TECNO Sonic 1 Active True Wireless Earphones, TECNO Watch 2, TECNO Buds 3, and TECNO Square S3 speaker.
TECNO Sonic 1 Active True Wireless Earphones are comfortable, affordable and provide a premium listening experience. An 800mAh battery translates to 50 hours of ultra-long lasting battery life and they also feature call noise cancellation and fast pairing. No matter your favourite genre of music, these earphones offer high-quality audio with a lightweight design and impressive tech.
TECNO Watch 2 is a great fitness companion with nine training modes, accurate blood oxygen and heart rate monitoring, smart notifications and up to six days of usage in essential mode. Combining fashion with function, this watch brings smart health management, shown on a 1.69-inch IPS high display.
The affordable TECNO Buds 3 bring up to 37 hours of playing time in a compact and stylish design. Deep bass is available due to 10mm larger drivers and these in-ear buds are complemented by IPX5 sweat, water and dust resistance. Jamming to your favourite songs has never been easier and more fun!
If you’re looking for equipment to provide ambient music during your next party or for when you’re chilling next to the pool in the summer, then consider the TECNO Square S3 speaker. With 12 hours of music playing time on a single charge, its portable design, deep bass and superior audio are perfect for getting the party started.
