Tecno has just released a new brand, a successor of the widely known Tecno Spark k7. Tecno Spark 2 is the talk of town. it comes with very improved features and advanced technologies compared to the the Tecno Spark k7
What’s New On The Spark 2? :
- Bigger display , More Pixels :
The new Spark 2 comes with a 6-inch display which is .5 inches bigger than last year’s edition (Spark K7 had 5.5 inches). As you would expect , the screen has a higher resolution @1440 x 720 pixels , which should display sharper images.
- Beautiful Aesthetics , Bezel less Display :
One of the biggest and most noticeable change is the full view , 18:9 aspect ratio display which gives a cleaner , more attractive look. Hands-on , it makes the phone feel slim and tall.
Another noticeable change is the camera placement at the back. It is cleaner and the LED flash is separate from the camera lens , unlike the K7 where the lens and led flash are housed together.
The body is made of plastic which is not a surprise considering the fact it costs just #36,200.
- Face Recognition Unlock (Face ID) :
Tired of using your fingerprint scanner all the time? The Face recognition software on the new Spark 2 will allow you unlock your smartphone using your face.
- Android Oreo GO Operating System :
This smartphone runs on a special edition of Android 8.1 Oreo called “Android Go”.
Android Go is an optimized version of Android operating system designed to work on low-entry smartphones , especially smartphones with 512MB and 1GB RAM. It is built to provide efficiency by optimizing the performance , apps and storage so even with 1GB RAM or less , you can still enjoy using the smartphone. You can learn more here.
