Tecno Spark 20 Review: specs and features, camera quality test, gaming benchmark, user opinions and photos

Tecno Spark 20 is an affordable option for selfie lovers

Tecno was able to quickly become one of the best-selling smartphone brands in many CIS countries, and also gain considerable popularity in Europe. The reason for success lies not only in the ability to make high-quality and inexpensive phones, but also to give them competitive advantages aimed at one or another part of the audience. So, the hero of today’s review will definitely appeal to fans who actively maintain pages on social networks.

The design of the new product is excellent for the low cost segment. Perhaps only the narrowest display frames reveal the true price tag of the device. A side fingerprint scanner, a beautiful texture on the back panel, original body colors and a modern block of two photo modules allow the exterior to evoke positive emotions. The 32-megapixel selfie camera is head and shoulders above its competitors, the photos are detailed and natural. The 6.56-inch IPS screen has a 90-Hz image refresh rate and realistic color reproduction. For an excellent rating, it lacks detail, which cannot be obtained with a modest HD+ resolution.

The technical characteristics were MediaTek Helio G85 CPU, 8GB of RAM, Mali G52MC2 video adapter. Despite its venerable age, the processor scores about 250 thousand AnTuTu points and ensures decent performance of the phablet in everyday life. The desktops of the Android 13 interface change without any visible stuttering, and applications launch relatively quickly. Undemanding 3D games also do not disappoint with the smoothness of the gameplay, albeit with reduced graphics settings. Really resource-intensive projects like Genshin Impact will disappoint with numerous lags and slowdowns. But there are no problems with space for storing information, because the ROM size was 128/256GB. There is also a slot for MicroSD cards, allowing you to expand the internal storage.

The main 50- and 0.3-megapixel cameras are similar to those of opponents in their photographic capabilities. While daytime photographs of static objects can still be called high-quality, deteriorating lighting or the appearance of dynamic events leads to noise and blur, and errors in color rendition. There is no stereo sound; one speaker handles notifications and calls, but listening to music through it is not particularly pleasant. But there is a separate jack for wired headphones, which will please the owners of the latter. There are also NFC contactless payments. Thus, the device is perfectly balanced and has every chance of achieving impressive sales.
