HONG KONG, China, May 12, 2025:
TECNO, a globally recognized AI-powered smartphone brand, is set to unveil the SPARK 40 Series in July, marking the global debut of MediaTek’s newly launched Helio G200 chipset. Positioned at the core of the premium SPARK 40 Pro+, this next-generation 4G processor brings a significant leap in performance, redefining what’s possible for entry-level smartphones.
Built on TSMC’s advanced 6nm process, the Helio G200 features an octa-core CPU architecture composed of two high-performance Cortex-A76 cores clocked at 2.2GHz and six energy-efficient Cortex-A55 cores at 2.0GHz. This configuration delivers over 10% performance improvement compared to its predecessor, offering users faster app launches, smoother multitasking, and an overall responsive user experience.
According to benchmark scores, the Helio G200 reaches an estimated 470,000 points on AnTuTu, reinforcing its superior computational capability within the 4G category. Paired with the ARM Mali-G57 MC2 GPU, now operating at an enhanced 1.1GHz frequency, the chip also offers a 10% boost in single-core graphics performance. Gamers and multimedia enthusiasts can expect rich visuals and fluid gameplay even under demanding conditions.
“The MediaTek Helio G200 empowers TECNO to bring flagship-level responsiveness to the SPARK 40 Series,” said Dr. Yenchi Lee, General Manager of MediaTek’s Wireless Communications Business. “This chipset delivers seamless power efficiency and responsiveness that redefine expectations in the mid-range market.”
Joey Qu, Senior Product Manager at TECNO, emphasized that performance is only part of the story. “The SPARK 40 Series is more than just about specs. With the Helio G200, we’re offering an unprecedented user experience wrapped in our signature slim design language.”
In addition to performance, the SPARK 40 Pro+ sets a new visual standard with 1.5K super-resolution rendering powered by TECNO’s proprietary AI algorithms. This advanced visual engine delivers sharper images, vibrant colors, and intelligent upscaling—making it the most visually impressive phone in its class.
Connectivity is another area of strength, with the Helio G200 introducing DCSAR (Dynamic Communication Smart Adaptive Response) technology for stronger, faster, and more stable network performance—even in areas with poor signal coverage. Whether streaming, gaming, or video calling, users can expect uninterrupted service on the move.
With its global launch slated for July, the TECNO SPARK 40 Series aims to blend eye-catching design, AI-augmented features, and flagship-caliber performance—setting a new benchmark for budget-friendly smartphones. Additional product details and regional rollout plans will be revealed in the coming weeks.
