Leading the charge, over the weekend in Lagos, at the launch of the company’s new ecosystem products, Jack Chong, the Brand Manager, TECNO, stated that individuals and businesses need new technologies for them to remain globally competitive.

TECNO Ecosystem

Chong expressed the belief that the new AI-powered devices would enable offices, content creators, graphic designers, photographers, and artists, enhance their productivity, and boost their skills.

He argued that one of TECNO’s cardinal objectives for doing business in Nigeria is to enhance the nation’s business environment and launch Nigeria into a future of AI-integrated economy.

Besides representing its push to maintain its market dominance, Chong added that the expansive product launch also exemplifies the company’s commitment to stimulating technological and economic growth across Africa.

According to him, since making its entry into the nation’s market, the company has been able to empower Nigerians, create jobs and boost the local tech ecosystems, adding that over 200,000 retailers are presently in its net, as trade partners, a development, he added, are not without its trickle-down effects on the nation’s economy.

“We want to empower Nigerians to live a better life. And our offerings and activities are always tailored towards achieving this goal,” Chong stated.

Attributing the inroads the company had made in the nation’s market, since its debut, few years ago, Vincent Okonkwo, the retail manager, TECNO, also assured of the company’s commitment to ensuring an interconnected, tech-advanced Africa.

“The new devices are a testimony to our commitment to a data-driven global innovation, and commitment to the future. Our key desire is to enhance the way you work, and function as a business, using AI-powered technology,” Okonkwo stated.

Phantom V Fold 2, Phantom V Flip 2

Both Phantom V Fold2 and Phantom V Flip2 phones come with the maker’s own AI Suite, and they are the first devices to have the features straight out of the box.

The Fold2 evolves from its predecessor while keeping some key specs, like the Dimensity 9000+ chip, the 7.85″ inner screen and the 6.42″ cover display.

The big change is the body, which is now under 6.1 mm thin when unfolded and under 12 mm when folded.

It also lost a lot of weight – it is now 249 grams, down from nearly 300 gr, despite the increased battery size. It comes pre-loaded with TECNO AI.

The Phantom V Fold2 has an Ella AI assistant, powered by Google Gemini. The full AI set of features includes Smart Q&A (basically a chatbot for real-time answers), AI Summary to use in PDFs and webpages, AI Translation with live translation during calls, and AI Writing for text summary, creative writing, proofreading and rewriting capabilities.

The new TECNO Flip phone has a big cover screen with a resolution of 1,056 x 1,056 instead of the small circle first seen in the Phantom V Flip.

Read more about the phone with 3.64″ square panel that uses most of the cover and wraps around the cameras, similar to what Motorola did with the Razr and Xiaomi followed on the Mix Flip.

The inner panel is 6.9″ LTPO AMOLED with Full HD+ resolution. It comes with infused TECNO AI – no need to download third party app – although it is powered by Gemini.

SPARK 30 Series

The Spark 30 has a black and yellow Bumblebee variant, while we now present you the Spark 30 Pro in Optimus Prime colors – Red, Blue, and Silver.

Spark 30 series

The phone comes with an adapter, charging cable, and wired earphones, which is a decent retail package, but here go our impressions of its performance once taken out of the box.

The Spark 30 series is for budget-conscious users who still want some excitement, nay, spark, from their phones.

The Pro version packs a 6.78″ AMOLED display with Full HD+ resolution and up to 120 Hz refresh rate. We love that it comes with an under-display fingerprint scanner, which works quickly and reliably.

The Transformers Theme brings custom wallpaper and icon designs to the Spark 30 Pro, and they are definitely something.

They might not be to everyone’s taste, but if you are buying a phone with its back looking like Optimus Prime, surely you will appreciate if the front also looks like a Transformer.

Price of SPARK 30 Series in Nigeria: SPARK 30 Pro – 256+8 ₦280,000 | SPARK 30 Pro – 128+8 ₦248,000.
