From Design to Battery Life, the SPARK 30 Pro Delivers a Premium Experience for All
TECNO has carved a solid reputation with the SPARK series, and the TECNO SPARK 30 Pro elevates that legacy even further. Upon unboxing, I found everything I need right there: the phone itself, a protective transparent rubber pouch, a USB-C cable, a 33-watt charging brick, cable earphones, a SIM ejector tool, a warranty card, and a data card. Having all these essentials from the get-go makes for a more seamless experience, and I appreciated that TECNO didn’t skip any details.
Design and Build Quality
TECNO struck a great balance with the SPARK 30 Pro’s design—it’s light enough to handle with ease yet durable enough to withstand day-to-day accidents. I took the device through some real-life tests by running it underwater and exposing it to dust in a windy environment, and it came out as good as new. Although TECNO doesn’t specifically mention scratch resistance, the included pouch does a great job of keeping it safe.
Display Quality
The 6.8-inch AMOLED screen with 120Hz refresh rate is nothing short of impressive. Colours pop, animations are smooth, and the Eye Care feature makes prolonged use easier on the eyes. The display’s adaptability between 60Hz, 90Hz, and 120Hz allows you to tailor your experience and conserve battery. While most people might stick to 60Hz for regular use, I preferred the 90Hz setting, which balances fluidity and battery life. And even at 120Hz, the battery held up well, a pleasant surprise considering the power demand.
Performance and Gaming with Call of Duty Mobile
As someone who enjoys gaming, I was curious to see how the TECNO SPARK 30 Pro would handle Call of Duty Mobile, and it was beyond my expectations. With a 70% charge, Gaming went on for hours. The device’s Helio G100 processor and 8 GB RAM tackled high-graphics settings without lagging. The devices warmed up slightly on max graphics, and adjusting the refresh rate to 120Hz kept the gameplay smooth and responsive. The TECNO SPARK 30 Pro makes multitasking easy, with floating windows allowing me to switch between apps seamlessly.
Camera Quality
The camera on the TECNO SPARK 30 which consists of a 108 MP camera at the back and a 13 MP front camera Pro is a standout. The rear camera captures vivid shots with sharp detail, even in lower lighting conditions, and the selfie camera produces vibrant, true-to-life colours. While recording in 2K, the quality of the video impressed me, though stabilization could be an issue at the highest resolutions. Still, for everyday use, the camera is more than sufficient.
Battery Life
With a 5000mAh battery, the TECNO SPARK 30 Pro is built for the long haul. Even after hours of gaming, I found it only needed a quick charge, which takes just a little over an hour thanks to the 33-watt charger. This efficient battery setup easily gets you through an entire day of heavy usage, from gaming to streaming, without needing frequent charges.
Audio Experience
The Dolby Atmos dual speakers make a noticeable difference in the audio quality. Whether it was in a virtual battle or just listening to music, the sound felt rich and immersive. For a device in this price range, the audio quality truly adds to the premium feel.
At N247,000, the TECNO SPARK 30 Pro’s 128+8GB version delivers incredible value. Its combination of durability, performance, and thoughtful design make it a top pick for anyone looking for a versatile smartphone experience. Whether you’re a gamer, a photographer, or someone who loves to stay connected, the TECNO SPARK 30 Pro is a reliable choice.
