NeoTeo's verdict
Which of the two is the better buy
The Tecno Spark 40 suits buyers who want a lighter phone and much faster charging; the Tecno Spark 50 4G is the better fit for buyers who prioritize its 7,000 mAh battery. The Spark 40 scores 250,000 in AnTuTu versus 235,000 for the Spark 50 4G.
The Spark 40 weighs 188 g and is 7.7 mm thick, versus 210 g and 8.2 mm for the Spark 50 4G, a noticeable difference in daily handling. It also charges at 45 W versus 18 W, while the Spark 50 4G counters with 7,000 mAh versus 5,200 mAh; both capacities are above average, but the Spark 40 is above average for charging and the Spark 50 4G falls below it.
The Spark 50 4G uses UFS 2.2 storage versus eMMC 5.1 and ships with Android 16 versus Android 15, giving it the edge for newer software and storage. The Spark 40 keeps the measured performance lead and has a main camera with an f/1.8 aperture versus f/1.9. The choice is therefore lighter handling and charging speed, or battery capacity and faster storage.
Tecno Spark 40
The Tecno Spark 40 is the better buy for 45 W charging and a lighter 188 g body.
Tecno Spark 50 4G
The Tecno Spark 50 4G is the better buy for 7,000 mAh and UFS 2.2 storage, though it trails in charging speed.
