Tecno Spark 10 Pro review

Alternative offers

The Tecno Spark 10 Pro is available globally with wide reach across Asia, Africa and South America. Its pricing is quite tempting - you could find the 256GB version for RM 630 ($140) in Malaysia and INR 13,000 ($150) in India.

The Realme C55, also sold as Narzo N55 in India, is nearly identical to the Spark 10 Pro. It offers a higher quality LCD, twice as fast charging, and better photo quality. Video quality is worse on the Realme C55, and Tecno will sell you the 256GB model at the price of the 128GB Realme C55 in the markets where the two are available together.

Redmi Note 12 4G is priced closely to the Spark 10 Pro, and it offers a much better 120Hz AMOLED screen, an extra ultrawide camera, and faster 33W charging. It does seem like a better offer if it's available in your country.

The Galaxy A24 is a bit more expensive, but you will get an AMOLED screen, faster storage, a better main camera and extra ultrawide and macro shooters on the back for the extra cash. There is also expanded Wi-Fi and Bluetooth support.

Finally, the Poco M5 is another great alternative - it has faster storage, more cameras, and more refined MIUI support.

Our verdict

The Tecno Spark 10 Pro is an affordable smartphone with an excellent design, good screen, okay camera experience, adequate performance, and long-lasting battery life.

The things we didn't like are the speaker quality, the sluggish charging, and the inconsistent brightness control for the screen.

While the Spark 10 Pro has attractive pricing and large storage, there could be faster phones in the same price bracket, so we advise you to explore all options before making the final decision. And if it turns out to be the Spark 10 Pro, we doubt you will regret it.
