Smartphone brand Tecno rolled out the blue carpet at Westgate Shopping Centre in honour of Edgars’ birthday.
The company hosted an activation at the shopping mall to highlight its commitment to connecting with South Africans.
Shoppers experienced one of Tecno’s latest smartphone ranges, the recently launched Spark 40 Series.
Partnership
Tecno said the partnership with Edgars highlights its mission of making cutting-edge technology accessible to everyone while creating memorable experiences.
“With Edgars being a household name in South Africa, collaborating with them on this celebration allowed Techno to connect with shoppers in a dynamic, celebratory way. Techno enjoys celebrating major milestones, as well as successes, with all of its valued retail partners.
Spark 40
The Tecno Spark 40 is among the thinnest smartphones
The company may have taken some design cues from Samsung’s rear camera layout, as it’s very similar.
The camera is good when taking photos without zoom. However, users who likes to take moon photos, will be disappointed with the result, even after the AI kicked in to enhance the picture.
Compared to the Huawei Pura 80 and Samsung Galaxy S Series, Tecno has a lot of catching up to do.

Cameras
It features a primary rear camera of 50MP with Auto Precision AF and a secondary depth sensor. It is a very detailed image, and colours seem natural, owing to colour tuning and dynamic range management by Tecno.
A good 13MP front sensor processes selfies decently in daylight. However, indoor or low-light selfies are soft, less detailed and have muted colours.
The phone has Android 15 and HiOS 15.1. HiOS comes with handy features such as Game Mode, Smart Panel, app cloning and social media tools, including a WhatsApp voice changer and a fast status saver. The UI is less bloated and cleaner than the previous versions.
Availability
Smartphones from Tecno’s new Spark 40 Series, including the Spark 40S, Spark 40, and Spark 40C, are available from Edgars stores (availability varies by product, store, and while stocks last. E&OE).
