Performance

We were a little bit disappointed to still find the same hardware specs that were featured on the Tecno Spark 3 still featured on the Tecno Spark 4. Including the storage space, RAM, and others are all the same.

Powering the Tecno Spark 4 is still the same Quad-core MediaTek Helio A22 chipset which runs at 2.0GHz. Don’t get it twisted, the chipset is capable of taking you through all the basic performance such as light gaming, surfing the internet and more.

The smartphone is presented in two types; the first model which happens to be the one with Spark 4 with a 4GB RAM model and 64GB internal storage, while the second is the  3GB RAM model which packs a 32GB internal storage. If you are not comfortable with the internal storage, the two models support memory expansion up to 64GB via a microSD card slot.

Both models run on the latest software, the HiOS 5.5 the company’s software which is based on Android 9.0 Pie. There are currently no words whether the Operating System will be upgraded as of the time of writing. Spark 4 supports the 4G Network as well as the 2 and 3G networks.

CONNECTIVITY

Spark 4 Air is 3G and 4G capable. This smartphone has a built-in GPS receiver. GPS is a satellite based navigation system that allows the determination of the exact geographical location on Earth. This Tecno smartphone has FM radio receiver

BATTERY

The Li-Ion 3000 mAh, non-removable battery gives the smartphone a good battery backup. This is a low maintenance battery. No periodic discharge is needed and charging can be done at random.

It didn’t come as a surprise for us not to see the Wireless charging tech on this smartphone considering the price in which it is sold for as well as the plastic body build.

Nevertheless, we were a little bit disappointed not to see the smartphone arrive with a fast charging technology which you can easily find on most mid-range smartphones. So, don’t expect any speed up charging because you will be disappointed.

FEATURES

The smartphone sensors measure physical quantities and transmit them to the application processor. The phones’s accelerometer is a built-in electronic component that measures tilt and motion. A fingerprint sensor is one of the easiest and most secure ways to protect your smartphone. The proximity sensor detects when a user is holding the phone near their face during a call and turns off the display to prevent keypad presses and battery consumption from the display. The Spark 4 Air has Dual SIM capability, which means that you can insert two different SIM cards and use them both from one phone.
