NeoTeo's verdict
Which of the two is the better buy
The Tecno Spark 40 Pro+ is the stronger all-round choice, led by its 6.78″ AMOLED display at 4500 nits against the Spark 8's 6.52″ IPS LCD at 480 nits. It also leads decisively in AnTuTu, with 455,013 versus 86,500.
The Spark 40 Pro+ pairs 8 GB of RAM and 256 GB of storage with the Spark 8's 4 GB and 64 GB, and runs Android 15 instead of Android 11. Its main camera is 50 MP versus 16 MP, while the front cameras are 13 MP versus 8 MP.
Battery capacity is close at 5200 mAh for the Spark 40 Pro+ and 5000 mAh for the Spark 8, but charging is not: 45 W versus 10 W. The newer phone also adds reverse wireless charging, NFC, and infrared; the Spark 8 makes sense only if it costs less.
