The Tecno Spark 40 Pro+ is a budget Android phone that packs features you rarely see near $200: a curved 144Hz AMOLED screen, 30W wireless charging and a very thin 6.49 mm body. Tecno announced it in July 2025 for markets in Africa and Asia, and it was never officially sold in the United States. Here is what the phone offers, where it is available, what it costs, and which phones US buyers should look at instead.
Tecno Spark 40 Pro+ specs at a glance

What stands out on paper
The display is the main attraction. A curved AMOLED panel with a 144Hz refresh rate and very high peak brightness is the kind of screen usually found on phones that cost two or three times more. The 6.49 mm thickness is also unusual for a phone with a 5,200mAh battery.
Wireless charging is the other surprise. Most budget phones sold in the US skip it entirely, while the Spark 40 Pro+ supports 30W magnetic wireless charging and can even top up earbuds with 5W reverse wireless charging.
The trade offs sit inside. The Helio G200 is a 4G chip, so there is no 5G at all. It is built for everyday apps, social media and video rather than demanding games. The camera setup is essentially a single 50MP main sensor, since the second lens is only an auxiliary helper. Tecno also ships its own HiOS interface on top of Android, which comes with extra preinstalled apps.
Where it is sold and what it costs
Tecno launched the phone on July 2, 2025, starting with preorders in Uganda at UGX 769,000, roughly $214 at the time. It later arrived in other markets, including Pakistan, where Tecno priced the 8GB and 256GB model at PKR 59,999 in August 2025. Tecno’s official site lists stores across Africa, the Middle East, South and Southeast Asia, Eastern Europe and Latin America, but no store for the United States or Canada.
Tecno has since announced the Spark 50 Pro in June 2026, which uses an IPS display rather than AMOLED. A Spark 50 Pro+ had not been confirmed as of October 2026.
Better options for US buyers
If you live in the US and want the same value, these phones are sold officially, work on all major carriers and include 5G:
| Phone | US launch price | Highlights |
|---|---|---|
| Samsung Galaxy A17 5G | $199.99 | 6.7 inch Super AMOLED at 90Hz, 5,000mAh battery, six Android upgrades and six years of security updates |
| Motorola moto g 2026 | $199.99 | Affordable 5G phone sold unlocked and through US carriers |
| Motorola moto g power 2026 | $299.99 | 6.8 inch 120Hz display, Dimensity 6300, 5,200mAh battery with 30W charging |
None of these match the Tecno’s curved 144Hz AMOLED screen at this price. What they offer instead is 5G, proper carrier certification, a US warranty and, in Samsung’s case, a six year update promise. For most US buyers, that is the better deal.
FAQ
Is the Tecno Spark 40 Pro+ available in the US?
No. Tecno does not sell phones officially in the United States, and its website lists no US store. Imported units are available from some marketplace sellers without a local warranty.
Does the Spark 40 Pro+ support 5G?
No. The Helio G200 chip supports 4G LTE only.
Does it have wireless charging?
Yes. It supports 30W magnetic wireless charging, 45W wired charging and 5W reverse wireless charging for accessories.
What is the closest US alternative?
The Samsung Galaxy A17 5G at $199.99 is the closest in price and also has an AMOLED screen, though it runs at 90Hz and lacks wireless charging.
The verdict
On paper, the Tecno Spark 40 Pro+ is an impressive budget phone, with a curved 144Hz AMOLED display, wireless charging and a thin body for around $200 in the markets where it sells. For US buyers, though, the lack of 5G, carrier certification and local support makes it a poor import. A Galaxy A17 5G or moto g 2026 is the sensible choice here.
