The 5.5-inch IPS display on the front offers ample screen estate for movies and games. Some users might consider the HD resolution a bit low, but not at this price.
Camera and Storage
The main selling point, for Tecno, appears to be the cameras on the Spark. The primary camera has a resolution of 13 megapixels, while that of the selfie camera is 5 megapixels. On paper, these look to impress. This is more so given both come with flash support for quality images in dark settings.
Onboard storage stands at 16 GB. If that’s not enough, the Tecno Spark can take a microSD card with capacity of up to 32 GB for expansion.
Performance and OS
