Anticipating the "follow-up" of iPhone 17 Pro, Chinese company releases phone priced at 133 USD

(Dan Tri) - It will not be until September that Apple officially launches the iPhone 17 series, however, a Chinese technology company has launched a phone with a design similar to leaked images of the iPhone 17 Pro.

Apple's iPhone models are always products that attract the attention of the technology world and users, so rumors and leaked information about the upcoming iPhone series always appear abundantly before the official product launch.

Many Chinese technology companies have relied on leaked information and images of the new iPhone series to launch phones with identical designs.

Tecno, a Shenzhen-based technology company, has just launched such a product, called Spark 40.

The product has 3 cameras on the back, placed on a large island cluster that extends across the width of the device. Looking at the back of the Tecno Spark 40, many people will immediately recognize the familiarity, because this design is identical to the leaked images of the iPhone 17 Pro and 17 Pro Max duo.

It seems that Tecno has relied on leaked information of the iPhone 17 Pro duo to create its own product.

However, while the iPhone targets the high-end smartphone segment, the Tecno Spark 40 only targets the low-cost phone segment. The product will be sold on the market with a starting price of 133 USD (equivalent to 3.5 million VND).

In terms of configuration, Spark 40 has a 6.67-inch wide screen, 120Hz refresh rate, but the resolution is only HD + (1600x720). Inside is MediaTek's Helio G81 processor, accompanied by 4GB RAM and 128/256GB memory options or 6GB with 128GB memory and 8GB with 256GB memory.

The product is equipped with virtual RAM feature, allowing to increase physical RAM capacity by 4GB by using storage capacity.

The design of the Tecno Spark 40 makes many people easily think of the iPhone 17 Pro (Photo: Tecno).

Although the Spark 40's rear is designed with 3 lenses, in reality the product only has a 50 megapixel camera on the back. The 2 fake lenses that come with it seem to be intended to help the Spark 40 resemble the design of the iPhone.

The front of the product is an 8 megapixel selfie camera, located in the screen.

Spark 40 is still equipped with an external memory card slot, 3.5mm phone jack and infrared port (allowing remote control of TV, air conditioner...), which are features that have been removed on most smartphones today.

The product is equipped with a 5,200mAh battery, supports 45W fast charging, and is dustproof and waterproof.

The Spark 40 is expected to be launched in developing economies in Asia and Africa in the near future.
