Tecno Launches Spark 9 Pro Sport Edition, designed by BMW’s Design works

Transsion Holdings subsidiary Tecno Mobile first launched the Spark 9 Pro for the global market in June this year. Barely five months after, the Chinese company has now unveiled a Special edition model dubbed Tecno Spark 9 Pro Sport Edition.

Designworks was tasked with picking out the materials, colors and finish for this special edition. The design was apparently inspired by an “icy crystal talisman” and mixes crystalline blue areas with snowy white, dotted with more triangles to keep the theme consistent. The two circular camera islands evoke the BMW logo, but it’s more of an homage than a 1:1 copy.

The Spark 9 Pro Sport Edition is aimed at young consumers with an appreciation for luxury, especially of the automobile variety. The design team likened smartphones to cars because of the very personal relationship that their owners have with them.
