HARDWARE AND SOFTWARE

When it comes to performance, the Spark 2 smartphone does not offer a significant upgrade when compared to last year Spark K7. The device is powered by the MediaTek MT6580WP which is a Quad-core processor having a 32-bit CPU architecture. The Quad-core processor clocks at the normal speed of 1.3GHz and operates on the 28nm process technology. In the graphics department, the ARM Mali-400 MP2 clocks at 416MHz for a smooth ride.

In terms of software, the device runs on Google Android Oreo Go edition. It will be TECNO’s second device to come with Android Go after the TECNO F1 which was unveiled in April this year. It runs out of the box, a light version of TECNO’s latest HiOS V3.3 which should help with smooth experience. There’s just 1GB of RAM available for multitasking, this should be enough for light users since it runs on Android 8.1 Oreo Go Edition. In terms of storage, you get 16GB of space, however, you can always upgrade up to 128GB with a memory card.

NETWORK CONNECTIVITY

TECNO Spark 2 is a dual SIM (GSM and GSM) smartphone that accepts Nano-SIM and Nano-SIM. Connectivity options include Wi-Fi, GPS, Bluetooth, USB OTG, FM, 3G. Sensors on the phone include a Proximity sensor, Accelerometer and Ambient light sensor

BATTERY LIFE

Battery life is one of the major features people look out for when making a buying decision. The TECNO Spark 2 is powered by a non-removable Li-Ion 3500mAh battery which should be able to last a full day with the highly optimized Android Oreo Go edition.

TECNO SPARK 2 CAMERA

If a good camera is one of the reasons you buy a phone, the Spark 2 smartphone might be your perfect smartphone. It is for those who love a good camera phone but cannot buy the Camon Series.

  1. It’s a nice and I love it very much.
    But I have got this problem someone to help me please, it always brings me notification of updating the phone, now when I do the updating it shows it has been updated now just after some days it notifies me again… What should I do

  2. I think techno should stop putting the fingerprints sensor it the rear of the phone, instead it should b at the bottom front of the phone for easy access, putting the sensor at the back with a flip open case sometimes might often pose as an interference when unlocking the screen but if the sensor it placed at the front of the phone it can b accessed easily
