Tecno Spark 10 Pro and Tecno Spark 10C: A Comparison of Mid-Range Smartphones
When it comes to smartphone technology, there are a huge number of options on the market. With a range of different specs and features, it can be hard to know which one is right for you. Recently, two new mid-range handsets from Tecno have been released: the Tecno Spark 10 Pro and the Tecno Spark 10C. Let’s take a look at these to see how they compare, and help you decide which one could be right for you.
Design & Materials
The first thing to note between these two smartphones is the material they use. On the Tecno Spark 10 Pro, you will find a combination of glass and plastic, while the Tecno Spark 10C has only plastic. This is not just for aesthetic reasons – plastic is lighter than glass, meaning that the 10C is obviously going to be lighter.
Their sizes also differ. The 10 Pro comes in at 6.80 inches, while the 10C is slightly smaller at 6.60 inches. The difference in size, coupled with the different materials, means that the 10C has a higher usable surface area of 84.3%.
Hardware
Under the hood, the Tecno Spark 10 Pro features a MediaTek Helio G88 processor (12nm) and 8GB of LPDDR4X RAM, while the Tecno Spark 10C features a Unisoc Tiger T616 processor (12nm) and 4GB of LPDDR4X RAM. This makes the 10 Pro a significantly more powerful device than the 10C. The 10 Pro also has 256GB of storage, compared with 64GB for the 10C – again, making the Pro a more suitable choice for heavy users.
One area where the two phones perform similarly is screen refresh rate, with both boasting 90Hz. The 10 Pro has a resolution of 1080x2460 FHD+, while the 10C has a lower 720x1612 HD+.
Camera
The main camera on the Tecno Spark 10 Pro is a triple camera set-up featuring a 50.0Mpx primary lens, as well as a 2.0Mpx portrait mode lens, and a 0.3Mpx lens. On the Tecno Spark 10C, you will find a dual camera set-up with a 16.0Mpx primary lens and a 0.3Mpx lens.
In terms of the front camera, the 10 Pro boasts a 32.0Mpx lens, while the 10C comes with an 8.0Mpx lens.
Connectivity & Battery
In terms of connectivity, both phones come with Bluetooth 5.0, Dual SIM, NFC, and an audio jack. However, they do differ slightly in battery capacity. The 10 Pro features a 5000mAh battery, while the 10C has a slightly lower 4000mAh battery. That being said, both phones have 18.0W fast charge.
Overall, it is clear that the Tecno Spark 10 Pro is the more powerful and advanced choice of these two handsets. That being said, the 10C is still a great mid-range handset and may be better suited to those looking for a cheaper option. Ultimately, the choice comes down to what you need from your phone and your budget.
