TECNO Unveils New Affordable Smartphones for South Africa

Bringing power, style, and value to every user, innovative technology brand TECNO showcased its latest smartphone ranges at an event in Melrose Arch, Johannesburg.

The immersive showcase gave attendees the chance to experience TECNO’s newest devices firsthand and highlighting TECNO’s commitment to delivering cutting-edge technology at great value-for-money price points, with both series designed to meet the needs of today’s dynamic, connected consumers.

The launch event featured live product demonstrations, giving attendees an in-depth look at the capabilities of the new smartphones.

SPARK Go 2S

Some of the key features include:

• large 5 000 mAh battery for longer usage (complemented by 10W fast charging)
• 6.67” screen with a 120Hz refresh rate that translates into a smooth and uninterrupted visual experience.
• A 13MP dual camera setup on the rear and an 8MP selfie camera, all of which allow for the capture of moments and memories.

The stylish design of SPARK Go 2S is matched by the device’s IP64 rating, which highlights the dust and water resistance of the phone. Protection from these elements is crucial for the phone’s safety, longevity, and reliable performance.  

With TECNO, it’s not just about the phone. The box also comes loaded with free extras, including a protective cover, charging brick, USB charging cable, and card pin for convenience.
