TECNO brings the Spark 30 series to the Philippines, and we’re stoked that they’re also bringing over the Transformers collab as well. We got our hands on the Bumblebee edition of the Spark 30, and we love TECNO’s efforts on this collab.

With a matte black frame and a Bumblebee-themed back panel, we like how TECNO was able to integrate all of the key elements of the popular Autobot into the Spark 30. Not to mention, TECNO’s Spark 30 collab with Transformers nicely ties in with All Spark, which is an integral part of Transformers lore.

Awesome collab aside, what makes the Spark 30 interesting is that it uses a 64-megapixel IMX682 sensor for the main camera–which was used on old flagship killers. That assures you that the Spark 30 punches above its class when it comes to camera performance.

The Spark 30’s 6.78-inch display also gets improvements, as it boasts a peak brightness of 800nits–which is high for a budget phone. This IPS panel has a Full HD+ resolution, making you also appreciate how well-executed is the Bumblebee theme on TECNO’s HiOS.

Aside from retaining the headphone jack, the Spark 30 boasts an IP64 rating, making it more resistant to water and dust compared to the competition–another good reason why the Transformers collab makes sense.

Rounding up the Spark 30’s features are a side-mounted fingerprint scanner, a 13-megapixel selfie shooter, stereo speakers, a 5000mAh battery with 18w charging, and a Helio G91 processor that’s paired with 8GB RAM and 256GB storage, making it a value-packed budget phone.

The Spark 30 has an official price of Php 6,999 in the Philippines. TECNO is offering it with a special discount at their TikTok shop, where the Spark 30 will have a promo price of Php 5,699 from November 5 to 11.
