Samsung Galaxy S Light Luxury now Official

The Galaxy S Light Luxury was just announced in China packing very modest specs, the device is pretty much a "lite" variant of the Galaxy S8. The 5.8' screen from the S8 makes a return keeping the same dimensions as its bigger brother. The Light S features the same Super AMOLED panel with 1,080 x 2,220 px resolution (18.5:9). The phone has a single camera on the back - 16 MP sensor and an f/1.7 aperture. It can record 4K video at 30 fps, but OIS is absent (surprisingly). The selfie camera has an 8 MP sensor with an f/1.7 aperture. The Snapdragon 660 chipset inside the Galaxy S Light Luxury should offer similar CPU performance to the Galaxy S8's 835. It does have 4 GB of RAM and 64 GB of storage. Given the Galaxy S Light Luxury's size, it shouldn’t be a surprise that there’s a 3,000 mAh battery – the same capacity as the Galaxy S8. There’s support for fast wireless and wired charging, the latter of which goes over the USB-C port....

Tecno Spark Plus K9





The Tecno Spark Plus K9 features a much larger display, 6.0” to be precise, and a slightly larger 3400mAh battery. The Spark K9 has some visual aspects which differ from that of the K7 such as the “on-screen buttons” and a different placement of the antenna lines.


The K9 comes with a very similar package as the K7 featuring a 720x1280px display (rather disappointing to be honest), 16GB Storage and 2GB RAM, 13MP rear camera and a 5MP selfie shooter.

Though there is no official pricing from Tecno Mobile, the Spark series should be priced significantly similar to the Smart Series by Infinix Mobility, i.e. ~NGN35,000+.

The Spark series is rather interesting as it is aimed at youths. What do you think about this devices? Leave a comment below let’s talk more. Stay Frosty.
