Redmi 15C vs TECNO Spark 40: Best Budget Phone in 2025?

Smartphone buyers in Pakistan now have strong options in the PKR 32,000–34,000 range. Two of the most popular choices are the Redmi 15C and the TECNO Spark 40.

Both aim to give good value, but they take different approaches. Redmi focuses on a big battery and large display, while TECNO offers a balanced all-round experience.

Battery and Charging

The Redmi 15C comes with a huge 6000mAh battery and 33W charging. It lasts long but takes time to fully charge. The TECNO Spark 40, on the other hand, has a 5200mAh battery with 45W Super Charge. Even though the battery is smaller, it charges much faster—great for quick top-ups before leaving home.

Display

Redmi offers a 6.9-inch screen with a 120Hz refresh rate, but the HD+ resolution looks less sharp on such a big display. It also uses the older notch design. The Spark 40 also has a 120Hz refresh rate, but with sharper visuals, a modern punch-hole display, and even oil & wet touch support, making it more practical in daily use.

Durability

Both phones have IP64 protection against dust and water. But the Spark 40 adds drop protection up to 1.5 meters, making it more reliable for students and commuters.

Performance and Features

Both models use the MediaTek Helio G81 chipset, good for daily use and light gaming. But TECNO adds extra features like:

• Dual DTS speakers for better sound

• Infrared remote for appliances

• Smarter memory expansion

• AI assistant Ask Ella

These extras make the Spark 40 stand out.

Design and Comfort

The Spark 40 is slimmer and lighter than the bulkier Redmi 15C. With its punch-hole layout and sleek build, it feels more modern and stylish.

Price in Pakistan

• TECNO Spark 40 (128GB + 6+6GB RAM): PKR 32,999

• Redmi 15C (128GB + 6GB RAM): PKR 33,999

The Spark 40 is not only cheaper but also offers more features.

Final Word

The Redmi 15C is ideal if you want a big battery and screen. But for a smarter balance of fast charging, better durability, premium design, and extra features, the TECNO Spark 40 is the better overall choice for 2025.
