Tecno Spark 40 Pro+

Tecno does not publish a formal update commitment for the Spark line, so there is no official policy to quote. Our estimate is two Android version upgrades and about three years of security patches from the July 2025 release, giving a practical end of support around July 2028. Tecno's patch delivery on the Spark range has historically been irregular, so treat that as a projection to plan against rather than a promise.

No. The MediaTek Helio G200 is a 4G-only chip. This is the phone's most significant limitation, because at close to $300 most rivals include a 5G modem — and unlike software features, this cannot be added later. Tecno's spending clearly went into the curved AMOLED panel and the wireless charging instead, which is a coherent choice, but it is one you should make deliberately.

We expect two, taking it from the Android 15 it shipped with to roughly Android 17. Tecno's HiOS layer is heavily customised, which tends to slow platform upgrades, and in practice new Android versions have reached Spark phones well after they reached other brands. The security patch window matters more for safety, and that is what our July 2028 estimate tracks.

On screen and charging, it is remarkable value — you would normally pay double for a curved 1.5K AMOLED with 30W wireless charging. On connectivity and software it is poor value, because 4G-only hardware with an unwritten three-year patch estimate is a weak foundation for a phone you keep. Buy it if the screen is what you care about and you expect to replace it by 2028.
