Capturing the perfect selfie can be a challenging task, especially when faced with obstacles such as load shedding or low-light conditions. However, advancements in mobile photography have made it easier than ever before to achieve stunning results. TECNO, a leading technology brand operating in over 70 global markets, is at the forefront of this innovation. Their recently launched smartphones in South Africa, the SPARK 10 Pro and SPARK 10C, come equipped with impressive specifications and features that elevate the selfie-taking experience to new heights.
One of the standout features of these devices is the Dual-LED flash setup on both the front and rear cameras. This setup incorporates a three-tier, adjustable flash intensity, allowing users to capture perfect photos even in low-light situations without blinding the subjects. To assist in achieving optimal results, a preview mode is available, enabling users to see how their pictures will appear with different flash levels.
The SPARK 10 Pro boasts a remarkable 32-megapixel front camera with 4-in-1 HW Remosaic technology. By synthesizing the small pixel size of 0.8um into a larger pixel size of 1.6um, the camera’s sensitivity is increased by a remarkable 400%. This enhancement enables the camera to capture intricate details with exceptional clarity. Meanwhile, the SPARK 10C offers an 8-megapixel selfie camera, providing excellent image quality for users.
TECNO understands the importance of ensuring that every selfie turns out flawless. To achieve this, their smartphones employ the Super Flashlight Algorithm, which instantly corrects any overexposure. This algorithm achieves a balance of brightness between the subject and the background while concealing blemishes and accentuating the natural beauty of the user, regardless of their skin tone. TECNO’s commitment to inclusivity in photography is evident through its investment in research at the TAIVOS Lab.
The SPARK 10 Series serves as a pocket-sized lighting professional when it comes to mobile photography. Group selfies are made effortless with the wide-angle feature, eliminating the struggle of fitting everyone into the frame. Moreover, for those who prefer capturing videos, the SPARK 10 Pro’s front camera can shoot videos up to 1080p quality at 30 frames per second.
In addition to their impressive selfie capabilities, the TECNO SPARK 10 Series devices offer a host of other top-tier features. Users can enjoy ample storage capacity, with the SPARK 10 Pro providing 256GB and the SPARK 10C offering 128GB. This ensures that there is plenty of space to store all the stunning selfies users capture. The devices are powered by a MediaTek Helio G88 chipset, delivering smooth performance and responsiveness. The large LCD displays, measuring 6.8 inches for the SPARK 10 Pro and 6.6 inches for the SPARK 10C, provide an immersive viewing experience for all types of content and mobile games. With a long-lasting 5000mAh battery, users can enjoy extended usage without worrying about running out of power.
The introduction of Memory Fusion technology is another notable feature of the SPARK 10 Series. This innovative technology allows the RAM capacity of the devices to be increased up to 16GB. By utilizing unused read-only memory (ROM) and reallocating it to random access memory (RAM) operations, Memory Fusion enhances the devices’ multitasking capabilities. Users can seamlessly switch between multiple applications running concurrently in the background, and the system stability is improved, leading to sustained performance and longer battery life. Lag while multitasking or playing high-intensity mobile games is no longer a concern.
Alongside the SPARK 10 Pro and SPARK 10C, TECNO has also launched the SPARK GO 2023 in South Africa. This smartphone offers a large storage capacity of 64GB, a 6.6-inch HD+ display, a substantial 5000mAh battery, Memory Fusion, and a biometric fingerprint sensor, providing users with a compelling choice at an affordable price point.
TECNO’s new devices are available from select retail partners, including Vodacom and TFG. The recommended retail price for the SPARK 10 Pro is R6,999, while the SPARK 10C is priced at R3,499. Vodacom is offering special deals, such as the option to purchase the SPARK 10 Pro for R279 per month over 36 months, with free TECNO Sonic 1 earphones included.
