Tecno launched the Spark 30C nearly two weeks ago with the new MediaTek Helio G91 chipset. Now the company has launched a standard model, which brings a few upgrades to the one with the “C” moniker. Here we will discuss the Tecno Spark 30 in further detail, including its expected price in Nepal.
Tecno Spark 30 Overview
Design and Display
The Tecno Spark 30 has the same design blueprint as its watered-down variant with flat edges and a circular camera dial. A horizontal patterned strip goes across the phone’s camera island, which also features intricate patterns of its own. Other than that, the LED flash on this phone sits at the bottom cutout, which was on the right side for the Spark 30C. It boasts a higher dust resistance with an IP64 rating and ships in Orbit Black and Orbit White colours.
For the display, the Tecno Spark 30 has a 6.78-inch unit which is likely an LCD panel. While the 30C offered a 120Hz refresh rate, this phone caps out at 90Hz screen fluidity. However, the screen size on this phone is larger and has a higher FHD+ resolution along with 800 nits brightness capability. It also supports touch commands with wet or oily hands.
Performance
The phone gets a slight upgrade in terms of performance hardware. The Tecno Spark 30 is powered by the MediaTek Helio G91, which shares the same architecture as the G81 on the Spark 30C. Despite its similarities, the G90 series chipset offers higher GPU frequency and performs better in benchmarking platforms as well.
It sticks with a single 8GB memory option but allows users to crank it up by another 8GB virtually. Meanwhile, you can choose between 128GB and 256GB for storage. Other than that, it packs a 5,000 mAh battery as the power source with 18W charging support. On the software side, the phone boots on Android 14. There is no information on this phone’s storage upgradability and the software updates it will be receiving.
Camera and the rest
The Tecno Spark 30 is proudly equipped with a 64MP primary shooter and is coupled with a Sony IMX682 sensor. Sony is highly hailed in the imaging world and is a welcome addition to this phone. Furthermore, the main camera has to do all the photography heavy lifting as there are no usable auxiliary lenses. A 13MP selfie snapper sits on the front and utilises the screen as a dual-colour temperature flash.
Moreover, this phone features a stereo speaker setup with Dolby Atmos audio and three times loudness to enhance the media consumption experience. Tecno does not mention it exclusively but based on the chipset on the Spark 30, it should support WiFi 5 and Bluetooth v5.0 connectivity. In the meantime, the cellular network is limited to 4G only — not even advanced LTE (4.5G) like on Spark Go 1 or Camon 30S Pro. You do get an IR blaster and NFC support on this phone though.

Tecno Spark 30 Price in Nepal and Availability
In a typical Tecno fashion, the company only listed the phone and its specs on its website, whereas its pricing is nowhere to be seen. However, if we are to ballpark the price of Tecno Spark 30 in Nepal, we expect it to be under NPR 30,000. We recently saw the arrival of Spark Go 1 in our country, and both Spark 20 and 20C also launched here earlier this year. Hence, the chances of Tecno Spark 30 arriving in Nepal are quite high, and we might see it in the coming few months.
