Editorial report
Tecno Spark 40C technical sheet
The Tecno Spark 40C suits buyers seeking a straightforward Android phone with a large battery and expandable storage. Its main trade-off is modest hardware: 4GB of RAM and 128GB of storage are below what most phones of its time offer, although a card can add space.
Its 6.67″ IPS LCD runs at 120 Hz, a typical refresh rate for its time, making scrolling feel smooth. The 263 ppi density is lower than most phones of its time, so sharpness is not a major strength. The phone also has IP64 protection and a 6000 mAh battery with reverse charging.
The MediaTek Helio G81 reaches 250,000 points in AnTuTu, and performance is among the weakest of its time. The 13MP rear camera is also among the weakest and lacks optical image stabilization. Connectivity is worse than most phones of its time, though Bluetooth 5.3, dual SIM, USB Type-C and Android 15 are included.
Battery capacity is typical, but 18W fast charging is slower than what most phones of its time offer. With a NeoScore of 4.7, the Tecno Spark 40C is better suited to everyday tasks and expandable storage than demanding games or advanced photography.
