As expected of a better variant, Tecno Spark 5 Pro (KD7) is equipped with a better chipset, higher RAM, spacious storage and higher megapixels rear camera, when you compared to the Tecno Spark 5 (KD7H). Nonetheless, Tecno Spark 5 Pro still the looks of the Spark 5.

In details, Tecno Spark 5 Pro is powered by the Helio A25 CPU; which is slightly better than the Helio A22 that came with the Spark 5. The phone also comes with an higher RAM of either 3GB or 4GB. The 3GB variant is paired with 64GB internal storage, while the  4GB variant is paired with an higher storage space of 128GB.

However, apart from its slightly better processor, higher RAM, higher storage space and upgraded primary back camera (more on this later), other features of the Tecno Spark 5 Pro remain as those of the Tecno Spark 5.

For instance, this phone is also running on the Android 10 OS alongside the same version of the Tecno's HiOS custom UI.

Tecno Spark 5 Pro is also fitted with a 5000mAh battery like the stripped variant, and it also doesn't support fast charging.

From the above information, it can be deduced that all the better features of the Tecno Spark 5 Pro are found mainly under the hood. In other words, Tecno Spark 5 Pro still maintained the physical appearance, and size, of the Tecno Spark 5.

For instance, Tecno Spark 5 Pro still has the same 6.6-inch Dot-in display and the same 20:9 aspect ratio as the earlier phone. This phone also features the same 8MP Selfie lens, the back of the phone is also mounted with the same looking camera bump.

Furthermore, the rectangular shaped rear camera bump of the phone is also fitted with a quad-lens camera. And the four cameras are also arranged in a manner that's similar to those of the Spark 5.

However, compared to the 13-megapixel main rear camera of the Tecno Spark 5, Tecno Spark 5 Pro comes with a slightly higher 16-megapixel main rear camera.

Price And Colour Options:
Currently, the price of the 3GB/64GB variant of the Tecno Spark 5 Pro is around 77,500 Naira (KSh 13,400 ) while that of the 4GB/128GB variant is around 89,000 Naira (KSh 15,500). And like the Spark 5, Spark 5 Pro also comes in four colours but slightly different options of Seabed Blue, Comet Black, Spark Orange and Ice Jadeite.

Identical Design, Size And Display:
There is no visible difference between Tecno Spark 5 Pro and Tecno Spark 5. In short, both of them look identical in every aspect.
Tecno Spark 5 Pro has the same 164.7x76.3x8.75mm dimensions and the same 20:9 aspect ratio as the Spark 5.
The 6.6-inch Dot-in display of the phone also looks exactly like that of the Spark 5. The IPS-LCD screen of the Spark 5 Pro also features the same HD+ resolution of 1600x720 and has the same 265ppi pixel density.

The back of the Spark 5 Pro, and its camera bump, also look like that of the Spark 5. The arrangements of the Quad back camera and Quad LED flash, inside the camera module, are also exactly like those of the Spark 5.

The Tecno brandings and fingerprint reader also retained their spot on the back of the Spark 5 Pro. The buttons and ports are also located at their usual positions.

So, you have volume rockers and power button (which still has orange colour) on the right edge of the Tecno Spark 5 Pro, while the 3-in-1 SIM tray (and slot) is located on the top left edge of the phone.

On the bottom edge of the phone are the speaker, MicroUSB port, microphone and the 3.5mm audio jack. As usual, there is nothing on the top edge of the phone.

Upgraded CPU, RAM And Internal Storage, Yet Same OS:
Tecno Spark 5 Pro is equipped with MediaTek Helio A25 processor; which is slightly better than the Helio A22 that's inside Spark 5.

Though, like the Helio A22, Helio A25 is also a 12nm Cortex-A53 chipset, but Helio A25 is an Octa-core processor, and this gives the chipset an edge over Helio A22; which is a Quad-core processor.
Nonetheless, Helio A25 has a slightly lower maximum clock speed of 1.8GHz, compared to the 2.0GHz of the Helio A22.
Also, Helio A25 is fitted with the same PowerVR-GE8320 GPU (Graphics Processing Units) as the Helio A22.


As I mentioned earlier, Tecno Spark 5 Pro is available in two variants, and both variants offer higher RAMs and ROMs than the 2GB RAM/32GB ROM Spark 5.

While the first variant of the Spark 5 Pro sport 3GB of RAM and 64GB internal storage, the second variant of the phone is equipped with an higher RAM of 4GB and 128GB internal storage. The internal storage capacities of both variants can still be expanded, via microSD card, up to 256GB.

Meanwhile, Tecno Spark 5 Pro is also running on the Android 10 OS (Operating System) like the Spark 5. Also the version of the Tecno's HiOS (the company's custom UI) of the Spark 5 Pro is almost the same with that of the Spark 5. Because Tecno Spark 5 Pro is running on the HiOS 6.1 on top of the Android 10, while the earlier Tecno Spark 5 is running on the HiOS 6.0 (on top of the Android OS).

Upgraded Quad Back Camera But Same Front Camera:
The front and Quad back camera setups of the Spark 5 Pro are almost the same with those of the Spark 5. But the Main or primary back camera of the Spark 5 Pro is fitted with a 16MP sensor; which is higher than the 13MP of the Spark 5.

In other words, like that of the Spark 5, the single front camera of the Spark 5 Pro still features an 8MP sensor. And apart from the upgraded main sensor, the three remaining rear cameras of the Tecno Spark 5 Pro are also made up of a 2MP Macro sensor (for taking detailed pictures of close-up objects), a 2MP Depth sensor (for taking pictures with Bokeh effects or blur background) and 2MP QVGA or AI sensor (assists the main sensor in taking bright and clear pictures in low-light environments).

As a result of its higher megapixels primary back camera, the pictures from the Quad-back camera of the Tecno Spark 5 Pro are clearer than those from the Spark 5.

By the way, both the front and rear cameras of the Spark 5 Pro are capable of shooting Full-HD or 1080p videos at 30fps (frames per second). The phone's back cameras are also capable of shooting 480p Slow-Mo (slow-motion) videos at 120fps.

Same 5000mAh Battery As The Spark 5, And Still No Support For Fast Charging:
Apart from having the same 5000mAh battery as the Spark 5, Tecno Spark 5 Pro also maintain the same 10W charging of the earlier phone. So, it'll also take you about four hours to fully charge Spark 5 Pro battery, when it drops to one percent.
