Tecno Spark 40 Pro+
- Exceptional battery life (10:48h)
- Versatile charging options (45W wired, 30W wireless, reverse charging)
- Brighter display (1601 nits)
- Slightly less powerful CPU
- Limited camera information
Motorola Edge 40 Neo
- Faster CPU cores (Cortex-A78)
- Potentially smoother multitasking
- Faster wired charging (68W)
- Shorter battery life (10:28h)
- No wireless or reverse charging
Display Comparison
The Tecno Spark 40 Pro+ boasts a significantly brighter display, reaching a measured 1601 nits, compared to the Motorola Edge 40 Neo’s 1073 nits. This translates to superior visibility in direct sunlight. While both utilize 6nm chipsets, the display brightness difference is a key advantage for outdoor use. We lack panel technology details (LTPO, AMOLED) for both, but the brightness gap is a clear win for Tecno. Bezels and color accuracy are not specified, making it difficult to assess further display quality.
Camera Comparison
Camera details are limited. The Motorola Edge 40 Neo is listed as having 'Photo / Video' capabilities, implying a more comprehensive camera system, but lacks specific sensor information. The Tecno Spark 40 Pro+ lacks any camera details in the provided data. Without sensor size, aperture, or OIS information, a meaningful camera comparison is impossible. We can assume both phones will include standard features like portrait modes and night modes, but image quality will depend heavily on the unlisted hardware.
Performance
Both phones employ MediaTek chipsets fabricated on a 6nm process, but differ in architecture. The Motorola Edge 40 Neo’s Dimensity 7030 features a faster CPU configuration with 2x2.5 GHz Cortex-A78 cores versus the Tecno Spark 40 Pro+'s Helio G200 with 2x2.2 GHz Cortex-A76 cores. This suggests the Edge 40 Neo will offer a slight edge in CPU-intensive tasks and gaming. However, the G200’s focus on efficiency might contribute to the Spark 40 Pro+'s longer battery life. RAM speed (LPDDR5x) is unspecified for both, hindering a complete performance assessment. Thermal management data is also missing, making it difficult to predict sustained performance under load.
Battery Life
The Tecno Spark 40 Pro+ delivers a remarkable 10:48h active use battery life, slightly exceeding the Motorola Edge 40 Neo’s 10:28h. While the Edge 40 Neo boasts 68W wired charging, achieving 50% charge in 15 minutes, the Spark 40 Pro+ offers a more versatile charging solution with 45W wired, 30W wireless, 5W/10W reverse wireless, and bypass charging. The Spark 40 Pro+'s wireless charging and reverse charging capabilities are absent on the Edge 40 Neo, providing added convenience for users who frequently share power or prefer cable-free charging.
Buying Guide
Buy the Tecno Spark 40 Pro+ if you need exceptional battery endurance for power users, frequent travelers, or those who simply dislike daily charging. Its reverse charging capabilities also add versatility. Buy the Motorola Edge 40 Neo if you prioritize a slightly more powerful processor for smoother multitasking and gaming, and value a potentially more polished software experience, accepting a trade-off in battery longevity.
