Comparisons Featuring Tecno Spark 2
Short Review
- The Tecno Spark 2 features a sleek design with dimensions of 159.4 x 76.2 x 7.8 mm and a weight of 175 grams, available in multiple colors including Champagne Gold and Coral Blue.
- It sports a 6.0-inch IPS LCD display with a resolution of 720 x 1440 pixels, providing a decent viewing experience at approximately 268 ppi.
- Performance is driven by a Mediatek MT6580 chipset, paired with a quad-core 1.3 GHz Cortex-A7 CPU and options for 1GB or 2GB of RAM, which is adequate for basic tasks.
- The camera system includes a 13 MP rear camera with autofocus and an 8 MP front camera, capable of recording video at 1080p.
- The 3500 mAh battery offers reasonable longevity but lacks fast charging capabilities.
- Running on Android 8.1 Oreo (Go edition), the software is optimized for lower resource usage.
- Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n and Bluetooth 4.2, but it does not support 5G or NFC.
- The device features a microUSB 2.0 port for charging and data transfer.
- While it lacks water resistance and stereo speakers, it does include a headphone jack for audio output.
- Overall, the Tecno Spark 2 is a functional smartphone with basic features suitable for everyday use.
