PANAMA CITY, April 9, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- BingX, a global leading cryptocurrency exchange, served up a fresh spin on community engagement with the BingX Pickleball Open Tour 2025, fusing the fast-growing sport of pickleball with the vibrant energy of the Web3 community. In collaboration with Pickleball Country Club (PCC), BingX co-hosted this event at Tana Sport in Vietnam on March 29, attracting over 267 players across 151 teams, and drawing more than 100 attendees, including national athletes and local celebrities.
Pickleball is a paddle sport combining elements of tennis, badminton, and ping-pong, played with paddles and a perforated plastic ball on a badminton-sized court with a modified tennis net. It is gaining popularity worldwide due to its accessibility, low-intensity nature, and social appeal, fueled by social media and influencer trends, with countries like Singapore, Malaysia, and Vietnam seeing significant growth.
This pickleball competition featured a total prize pool of 400 million VND, with rewards distributed across various formats such as Web3 Mixed Doubles and Open Men's Doubles, among others. Winners walked away with cash awards, pickleball gear, travel luggage, and other exclusive gifts sponsored by BingX. This event catered to various skill levels with competition brackets designed around Dynamic Universal Pickleball Rating (DUPR), making it accessible to both casual and experienced players. Categories such as Women's Doubles 5.5 and Mixed Doubles Open allowed for flexible participation, reinforcing inclusivity across the tournament.
The event spotlighted 42 champions and welcomed high-profile participants such as Nathan Willis, Sophia Phuong Anh, and Jessie Luong, adding star power to the already high-spirited tournament.
"Our goal with this event was to create a space where BingX users could connect in real life while sharing common interests beyond trading", said Alex Nguyen, BingX's spokesperson for Vietnam. "We saw traders, athletes, and fans all in one place, from Web3 doubles teams to beginner players discovering the sport. It's exactly the kind of community-driven experience we want to keep supporting, and we're thrilled to see such a positive response."
The event wasn't just a tournament, it was a celebration of culture, community, and the evolving crypto lifestyle. It not only elevated the event's profile but also underscored BingX's commitment to building meaningful, real-world connections through shared passions like sport. This initiative reflects its broader vision: to redefine user engagement by blending blockchain innovation with vibrant, offline experiences that bring the Web3 community closer together.

The new SPARK 50 and SPARK 50 5G redefine durable entry tech by combining massive batteries, military-grade toughness, and practical AI features for the young, always-on generation.
HONG KONG, April 3, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Global innovative technology brand TECNO today announced the launch of the first two models in its latest SPARK 50 Series: the SPARK 50 5G and SPARK 50. Built on the core aim of "Massive Power & Durable," this new lineup sets a fresh benchmark in its category by democratizing flagship-level Practical AI. Seamlessly blending industry-leading battery capacity in its class—an astounding 7000mAh on the SPARK 50 and 6500mAh with 45W fast charging on the SPARK 50 5G —with intelligent features designed to make a tangible difference in daily life, both devices are crafted to become the ultimate productivity and creativity boosters for young users navigating work, study, and everything in between.
Unleash the Power: Monster Battery Life with Lightning-Fast Charging
Power users know that endurance isn't just about capacity—it's about how long a phone lasts and how quickly it bounces back. The SPARK 50 5G and SPARK 50 deliver on both fronts with a revolutionary approach to battery longevity and charging speed.
The SPARK 50 5G serves as the all-round 5G pioneer in its class, packing a massive 6500mAh battery complemented by 45W super-fast charging that powers the device from zero to full in just one hour. Its advanced battery system supports an incredible 1,800 charging cycle, maintaining over 80 percent health for up to six years of reliable use. The SPARK 50, meanwhile, stands as the endurance champion of its segment, boasting a colossal 7000mAh mega battery that enables up to 48 hours of continuous talk time, with intelligent power management ensuring the battery retains over 80 percent health even after five years of consistent use.
This commitment to longevity extends well beyond the battery. The SPARK 50 5G has been certified by TECNO Lab for six years of lasting fluency, lag-free performance, ensuring both devices remain fast and responsive for the long haul. Built to withstand the rigors of daily life, both models feature IP64 dust and water resistance and Wet Touch 2.0 technology, allowing for accurate touch control even with wet or oily fingers.
The SPARK 50 5G further raises the bar with MIL-STD-810H military-grade certification for enhanced toughness, while the SPARK 50 is certified to survive drops from up to 1.8 meters. From physical structure to smart touch interaction, the SPARK 50 Series is fortified against accidental drops, splashes, and humid environments, making it a reliable companion for outdoor adventures and daily commutes alike.
Flagship-level Practical AI at Your Fingertips
Raw power is only half the story; the intelligence within is what truly sets the SPARK 50 Series apart. With TECNO AI, both models transform from simple smartphones into intuitive companions that anticipate and adapt to user needs.
They come equipped with the Ella AI voice assistant and introduce AI FlashMemo, a feature that instantly captures on-screen content while automatically generating summaries, titles, and tags for easy recall via the AI MindHub—a private, searchable knowledge base that grows smarter with use. For crystal-clear communication in any environment, the SPARK 50 5G features all-scenario AI noise cancellation for calls, and recordings, while the SPARK 50 utilizes AI voice cancellation to ensure voices cut through, whether on a crowded street or in a windy park.
Both models also prove themselves as a versatile creative tool, featuring a 50MP AI main camera with AI FlashSnap to freeze fast-moving action and BestMoment to automatically capture the perfect shot just as the moment unfolds. Users can bring their memories to life with LivePhoto support, preserving not just images but the seconds of motion and sound that surround them. Adding to its everyday utility, an integrated IR blaster can control over 2,000 home appliance brands across 15 categories, turning the phone into a universal remote that manages entertainment and home devices with effortless ease.
Unbreakable Connectivity for Every Scenario
The SPARK 50 5G is powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 6400 5G+ processor, achieving an AnTuTu score of 450,000+, delivering beyond-class performance across every connected experience. With 5G Carrier Aggregation technology, it offers download speeds of up to 200% faster than standard 5G . It has also received the TÜV Rheinland High Network Performance Certification (available in selected markets) and supports smooth gaming at up to 90 frames per second, delivering zero-lag entertainment for mobile gamers who demand the best.
Beyond traditional networks, both models feature FreeLink 2.0, TECNO's revolutionary off-grid communication technology. It enables free voice calls, texts, and image sharing up to an impressive 1.5-kilometer range when no cellular network is available—a potential lifesaver during outdoor adventures, remote travel, or large crowded events where networks are overwhelmed. The SPARK 50 further enhances this capability with a dedicated SA1 signal-boosting chip, improving call distance by 30% in weak signal environments to keep users connected when it matters most. Additionally, the SPARK 50 5G features NFC which exclusively supports Touch Transfer, enabling lightning-fast, one-touch sharing of Live Photos and large files with iPhones, seamlessly bridging the gap between ecosystems for users living in a multi-device world.
A Fresh Iconic Design Language with Premium Durability
The SPARK 50 Series debuts a fresh, stylish look that doesn't compromise on durability. The SPARK 50 5G features a premium six-series aviation-grade aluminum design, which is 1.4 times harder than five-series aluminum, providing a sophisticated metallic sheen and robust lens protection that feels as good as it looks.
Both models are available in a dynamic palette of trend-forward colors to suit every personality and style preference. The SPARK 50 5G comes in Ink Black, Titanium Grey, Fantasy Purple, Mint Green, and Champagne Gold, with Midnight Blue and Ripple Green to follow in select markets. The SPARK 50 is offered in Dynamic Orange, Ink Black, Titanium Grey, Halo Blue, Aurora Purple, and Flowery Pink. While availability may vary by country and region, the goal remains the same: ensuring a perfect match for everyone, from the understated professional to the bold trendsetter.
Availability
The TECNO SPARK 50 5G is now gradually becoming available in the markets, while SPARK 50 will be available from early April. With cutting-edge technology, exceptional durability, and practical AI at an unbeatable value, they represent TECNO's commitment to empowering young consumers with lifestyle tools built for a generation that refuses to compromise.
