The newly introduced Tecno WX3 is an affordable smartphone that will impress more buyers than the Tecno W2 and W1, which were not bad at all for their prices. The dual-SIM device features Android Nougat OS, a relatively large battery, and a quad-core processor.

Build and Screen
In keeping with its budget status, the Tecno WX3 shows off a body made of plastic. It is on the thicker side as well, and that again is to be expected.
Tecno WX3 features a 5-inch touch display with an FWVGA resolution – that is, 854 x 480 pixels. This screen should deliver the kind of visuals the Tecno W2 has to offer – something decent, but not out of this world.
Camera and Storage
The Tecno WX3 packs in a pair of 5 megapixel cameras on the front and back. The primary camera looks to deliver decent enough shot for a budget device. Selfie quality should not be bad as well with these specifications.
You have the usual 8 GB of onboard storage for keeping your photos, videos and other stuffs. The phone takes microSD cards of up to 32GB capacity for expansion.
Performance and OS
Equipped with a quad-core MediaTek processor, the Tecno WX3 is a candidate for entry level users. This CPU, whose speed tops out at 1.3GHz, cannot please power users. It gets support from 1GB RAM.
An interesting aspect of the Tecno WX3 is that it offers Android 7.0 Nougat OS, which is what you get on many high-end phones out there. This continues Tecno’s seeming tradition of offering newer software on its W series phones.
Other Specs and Features
Tecno WX3 may be able to last more than a day of normal usage with a 2,500mAh battery in the package. It comes with a browser that lets you run flash content.
You get the usual connectivity options here, including microUSB (reportedly version 3.0), Bluetooth, and Wi-Fi with hotspot functionality. It looks like Wi-Fi Direct is not supported, though.
