The 32MP ultra-clear front camera on the SPARK 10 Pro has an adjustable dual flash, allowing the young generation to show off their best qualities and glow as they are. The MediaTek Helio G88 gaming processor powers the SPARK 10 Pro, which has a sizable 16GB of RAM (8GB + 8GB extended) and 256GB of ROM, enabling it to function well in all areas.
It also has a durable, starry glass back panel, giving it a premium appearance and a comfortable feel. All these new additions make the SPARK 10 Series the ultimate high-performance selfie phone in its price range.
The MediaTek Helio G88-powered SPARK 10 Pro features a 32MP ultra-clear front camera with dual flash, packing superior selfies, a smooth gaming experience and a trendy design seamlessly together.
The 32MP glowing selfie captures your best self no matter where you are
The SPARK 10 Pro is designed for selfie enthusiasts, with a 32MP ultra-clear front camera and 4-in-1 HW Remosaic technology. The sensitivity of the pixel’s area is increased by 400% by synthesising the small pixel size of 0.8um into a larger pixel size of 1.6um, allowing the camera to capture great details with even greater clarity.
Furthermore, the entire SPARK 10 Series includes dual flashes on both the front and rear cameras. The built-in 10 Lux soft light provides just the right amount of flash without glare, and its intensity is adjustable across three levels for different lighting conditions. Any overexposure is immediately corrected by the Super to ensure users always get the perfect selfie.
G88 gaming processor, ultra-upgrading for performance perfectionists
For creators and gamers, the desire to push boundaries requires top-notch technology that surpasses expectations. SPARK 10 Pro optimised its performance with a MediaTek Helio G88 chipset, which is an octa-core processor that features two Arm Cortex-A75 CPUs operating up to 2GHz, enabling quick responsive reactions. Equipped with MediaTek HyperEngine 2.0 and supercharged by the GameTurbo Algorithm from TECNO, the SPARK 10 Pro estimates lags and intelligently improves operational smoothness, providing an unmatched gaming and entertainment experience.
The Super Flashlight Algorithm immediately corrects any overexposure to achieve a balance of brightness between the background and the subject while hiding the user’s flaws and highlighting their beauty in order to guarantee that users will always get the perfect selfie. All of this makes the SPARK 10 Series the lighting pro in your pocket when it comes to mobile photography.
50MP high-resolution photography system, delivering more detailed shots
The SPARK 10 Series features an advanced 50MP AI camera with ASD mode and 3D LUT technology, resulting in natural shots that are perfectly suited to skin tones. The SPARK 10 Series produces flawless and simply stunning portrait photos when combined with the Intelligent Beauty Mode. Furthermore, SPARK 10 Pro improves night photography performance with smart Super Night Filters and the Super Night Algorithm, as well as the dual flash, making every frame and picture clearer.
The SPARK 10 Series makes vlogging even more fun. The Beauty Mode, AR stickers, HDR and Bokeh effects and the unique cinematography mode all apply to videos, empowering users when filming their daily lives in a variety of scenarios. Smart focus is also supported by the SPARK 10 Pro and SPARK 10 5G, ensuring that users never miss a wonderful moment, even if it occurs unexpectedly.
A hard-wearing starry glass panel, sleek and youthful design for trendsetters
These standard-setting innovations are housed within a striking, unprecedented design featuring a hard-wearing, starry glass back panel that is glossy, smooth, comfortable to hold and natural to the skin. Dual cameras and a smart flash form a flagship triple ring, while the edges of the phone are flat, showing a premium and minimalist look. Users will be proud to show off their devices that come in an array of colours: Starry Black and Pearl White for the SPARK 10 Pro and Meta Black, Meta Blue, Meta White and Meta Green for the other models.
An ultra-high-resolution display, elevating your visual experience to new heights
Furthermore, the 6.8″ FHD optimally sized large screen broadens the user experience, and when combined with the ultra-high resolution display and DCI-P3 colour gamut, these gamuts create an immersive theatrical visual experience on the phone. The majority of the SPARK 10 Series models are powered by a 5000mAh battery and an 18W fast-charging capability, ensuring a long-lasting battery life that keeps the device powered up even under heavy use. Last but not least, the TECNO SPARK 10 Series (except for the SPARK 10C) improves the software user experience with the flawless Android 13 HiOS 12.6.
Availability
The SPARK 10 Series comprises three models: SPARK 10 Pro, SPARK 10C and SPARK 10 5G (on supported 5G networks and arriving later than the other two models). The whole series is available in South Africa from select TECNO retail partners and is priced at a recommended retail price of R6 999 for SPARK 10 Pro and R3 499 for SPARK 10C (SPARK 10 5G price to be confirmed).
