Display and Camera
The display of this affordable smartphone measures 4 inches diagonally and has a resolution of 800 x 480 pixels. This means you get decent screen clarity with a pixel density of 233 pixels per inch on the Tecno Y3.
The IPS LCD touchscreen should also offer wide-angle viewing, making this device one you would love to watch movies on with friends. But the phone’s camera configuration is rather unexciting.
You get a measly 2 megapixels camera on the back of the Tecno Y3 and a VGA (0.3MP) selfie camera on the front. However, the primary shooter has LED flash, autofocus and HDR, amongst other features.
Hardware and Software
The Tecno Y3 should be capable of a bit of multitasking being powered by a dual-core MediaTek Cortex-A9 processor, but do not raise your expectation on performance too high. The chip is clocked at 1 GHz and receives support from RAM of 512MB capacity, which is rather low. Graphics is crunched by a PowerVR SGX531u GPU.
The platform on which the Tecno Y3 runs is Android 4.4 (KitKat), making it possible for you to enjoy some great features and amazing capabilities on your phone.
Other Specs and Features
A decent 1800mAh Li-ion battery powers the Tecno Y3 and looks capable of supporting decently long hours of use on a charge; the battery is also replaceable. Onboard storage memory is 8 GB, which you will be able to expand by up to 32 GB through the use of a microSD card.
Expectedly, you can use two SIM cards at the same time on this phone. The Tecno Y3 comes with the regular connectivity options, such as microUSB 2.0, Bluetooth 3.0 and Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n with hotspot support. There is also GPS with A-GPS to help you find your way around more easily.
Pricing and availability
Tecno Y3 is available in Nigeria. You can buy the entry-level smartphone at leading online stores in Nigeria. Tecno Y3 Price in Nigeria ranges from N12,000 to N16,000 depending on your location in the country.
