The spotlight is currently on the Tecno POVA 2, but that has not kept Tecno Mobile Philippines from releasing yet another smartphone, albeit a more affordable one.

(Update, September 6: Our review of the Tecno Spark 7 Pro is up!)

(Update, August 14: The non-Pro version has arrived in the Philippines for P4,990 or around $99! Details here.)

According to the brand, the Tecno Spark 7 Pro with 6GB of RAM and 64GB of storage is already available for a low price of P6,990 (around $145) at its official store on Lazada Philippines. The similarly priced model with 4GB of RAM and 128GB of storage, on the other hand, can be purchased from Tecno Mobile concept stores and partner dealers nationwide.
