Tecno Spark 40 series set to arrive in India, could be a top budget phone
Tecno has officially announced that its next-generation Spark 40 series is set to launch in July, worldwide, including India. The company, via a press release, made the news public that its premium model — mind you, not specifically saying the top model — dubbed the Tecno Spark 40 Pro+, will be powered by the MediaTek Helio G200 chipset, a 4G chipset built on TSMC's advanced 6nm process. Does this mean there could be a 5G offering in the series? Guess we'll find out soon. For now, what makes this scenario interesting is the fact that Tecno Spark phones are usually super-budget devices with relatively good specs. Considering the current-gen Spark 30C with 5G connectivity starts at Rs 9,999 in India, there's a big chance that Tecno may price this phone even more aggressively, considering we are talking about a 4G device of the chipset, the MediaTek Helio G200 SoC is expected to offer over 10 per cent better performance compared to its predecessor, the Helio G100. It features an octa-core CPU with 2x Cortex-A76 performance cores and 6x Cortex-A55 efficiency cores. The GPU also gets a nice bump — the Mali-G57 MC2 now runs at a higher frequency, which should help with casual gaming and general graphics benchmark tests, the Helio G200 chip reportedly hit an AnTuTu score of around 470,000 — not bad at all for a budget processor. This should translate to faster app launches, better multitasking, and an overall smoother experience for users. Tecno also says the phone will offer 1.5K super-resolution rendering thanks to its in-house image processing algorithms. Do note, what we are talking about here is graphics upscaling, so that the visuals that appear on the screen appear sharper. Which also means the screen's resolution could very well still be HD+, similar to what we have on the Spark area where the phone could shine is connectivity. Despite being a 4G chip, the Helio G200 includes a feature called DCSAR (Dynamic Communication Smart Adaptive Response), which is said to improve signal stability and data speeds, even in weak signal hasn't shared many details about the rest of the Spark 40 Series yet, including things like camera specs, battery size or design. However, it has hinted at a slim profile and flagship-like responsiveness, which can sound like a bit of an exaggeration for a budget series. But the company has usually produced good VFM devices in the affordable segment, so it remains to be seen how the Spark 40 Series fares.

The Tecno Spark 40 Pro+ will be the first phone with the new Helio G200 chipset
MediaTek's newly-announced Helio G200 will make its debut soon – the Tecno Spark 40 Pro+ will be the first phone to use the new chip. The chipsets for the other Spark 40 series members have not been confirmed yet. Tecno is promising a 10% performance improvement over the G100, getting 470,000 points on AnTuTu. The new chip boosts the clock speed of the Mali-G57 MC2 GPU to 1.1GHz (up from 1.0GHz on the G99 and G100). Additionally, the Spark 40 Pro+ will have customized super resolution algorithms that will render graphics at 1.5K. The G100 was used in phones like the Spark 30 Pro and Camon 40 Pro 4G, by the way. Tecno also does a better job at explaining what 4G DC SAR does than MediaTek itself – it stands for Dynamic Communication Smart Adaptive Response. What it does is improve network efficiency in areas with weak signal, which should result in higher data speeds for streaming, gaming and other uses. The Helio G200 also adds 12-bit DCG support for the camera, which will improve the quality of HDR videos. However, Tecno is keeping mum on the Spark 40 camera features for now. 'The Spark 40 Series will not just be raising specs. With the Helio G200 as its engine, the Spark 40 Series redefines what's possible in its class, offering an unprecedented experience for its users — all while delivering signature slim design,' said Joey Qu, Tecno senior product manager. Tecno will unveil the Spark 40 series globally in July – more details about the design, performance and Tecno AI features will be revealed soon. Source

MediaTek unveils Helio G200 with slightly faster GPU and better HDR for videos
MediaTek is keeping its 4G series of chipsets alive, but the new Helio G200 is not a huge upgrade over the Helio G100, despite what the numbers suggest. The new chip brings higher GPU clock speeds, better HDR video quality for the camera and a new tech that improves using social networking apps in areas with spotty reception. At heart, this is still mostly the same 6nm chipset that the Helio G99 was. The G100 added 200MP camera support, the G200 improves on that with 12-bit DCG support for better HDR in videos. The CPU features 2x Cortex-A76 cores (2.2GHz) and 6x A55 (2.0GHz), same as before. However, the GPU, a Mali-G57 MC2, is now clocked at 1.1GHz, up from 1.0GHz. Not a huge gain, but as much can be expected given that it still uses the old TSMC N6 node. Finally, the 4G DC SAR technology 'enhances the experience of popular social and messaging apps in remote areas and regions with weak cellular signals'. It does so by reducing latency by 30% (you'd think this would be a boon for games more than Facebook) and by improving reception range. The Helio G200 supports 1080p+ displays with up to 120Hz refresh rate. It can be paired with LPDDR4X RAM up to 4,266Mbps and UFS 2.2 storage. It has a built-in Cat. 13 DL 4G LTE modem, Wi-Fi 5 (ac) and Bluetooth 5.2 support. Check the table below for a comparison with the G99 and G100.
