In truth though, it&#8217;s just a Mediocre, 720p, LCD panel like any other we&#8217;ve seen from Tecno and even Infinix Mobile in recent months. Viewing angles and contrast ratios are adequate at best. <\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/techrant.blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/2d4dcdea-a050-440b-9313-f14ef92ab969.jpeg\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"447\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/techrant.blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/2d4dcdea-a050-440b-9313-f14ef92ab969.jpeg\" alt=\"Spark 3__img\" class=\"wp-image-2273\" srcset=\"https:\/\/techrant.blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/2d4dcdea-a050-440b-9313-f14ef92ab969.jpeg 447w, https:\/\/techrant.blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/2d4dcdea-a050-440b-9313-f14ef92ab969-300x201.jpeg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 447px) 100vw, 447px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>Nonetheless, it&#8217;s not a bad display. In fact, unless you were Pixel peeping, you&#8217;d probably not notice the resolution difference. Plus it gets pretty bright. The notched, all-screen display on the Spark 3 sees slimmer bezels and a more modern feel. The color scheme on the back is also quite stunning. Tecno calls it a luminous crystal design.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">PERFORMANCE<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Let&#8217;s just say, Performance isn&#8217;t the Spark 3&#8217;s strong suit. This phone was made for Light-to-Medium use cases. As for storage\/memory, the Spark 3 lineup and it&#8217;s variants gets confusing. So there&#8217;s a 1GB RAM\/16GB Storage option. There&#8217;s also a 2GB RAM\/16GB option. For the Pro version, however, you get a 2GB of RAM and 32GB storage&#8211;But only with the Pro.  So either a 1GB or 2GB RAM coupled with 16GB of storage on the regular models and 2GB RAM with 32GB ROM on the Pro Variant. Got that?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div align=\"center\">\n<script async=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\"><\/script>\n<!-- Mobile (250x250) -->\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display:inline-block;width:250px;height:250px\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-4883052312808999\" data-ad-slot=\"2024414061\"><\/ins>\n<script>\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Well stay with me. So the 1GB RAM variant is equipped with a MediaTek MT6580 while the 2GB\/16GB storage option ships with a much better MediaTek Helio A22 (MT6761). The Pro (3GB\/32GB version) comes with an even more powerful Quad-Core Processor clocked at 2.0MHz. Wow&#8230;Talk about confusing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">CAMERAS<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>On the Spark 3, we&#8217;re getting a decent camera setup. On the rear, we have a dual 13MP + 2MP setup for depth effects, Portrait modes, AI HDR and &#8220;AI&#8221; beauty modes. Tecno boasts clearer, cleaner images. For the Selfies, the Spark 3 has an 8MP shooter on the front alongside a front-facing flash. You have the option of face unlock with the front cameras<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div align=\"center\">\n<script async=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\"><\/script>\n<!-- Mobile (250x250) -->\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display:inline-block;width:250px;height:250px\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-4883052312808999\" data-ad-slot=\"2024414061\"><\/ins>\n<script>\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">OTHERS<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Only the Tecno Spark 3 Pro comes with 4G network connectivity. There&#8217;s no 4G on the regular 1GB\/2GB RAM variants. On the Software end, the Spark 3 (2GB version) and the Spark 3 Pro ships with Android 9 Pie which is, of course, a welcome development. The 1GB RAM version, however, ships with Android 8.1 (Go Edition). Battery life is rated 3,500mAh and it ships with a regular, Micro USB charger. There\u2019s no mention of fast charge though. The Spark 3 ranges from 32,000NGN (1GB RAM variant), to 36,500NGN (2GB RAM variant). The Spark 3 Pro is however, priced at 42,000NGN<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">VERDICT<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Similar to the <a href=\"https:\/\/techrant.blog\/infinix-hot-7-review\/\">Infinix Hot 7<\/a>, Tecno&#8217;s latest offering (The Spark 3) caters to the lower-end market. Directed especially at the Ultra-light user base. No particular feature is acclaim-worthy and it just manages to cover the basic features of a Smartphone. Even the heavily advertised &#8220;AI Camera&#8221; modes may just be shy of a gimmick. If you aren&#8217;t a heavy smartphone user, then the Spark 3 could be for you. Outside of Super-light tasks however, the Storage and Memory limitations would mean you&#8217;re better off waiting for their next release.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div align=\"center\">\n<script async=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\"><\/script>\n<!-- Mobile (250x250) -->\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display:inline-block;width:250px;height:250px\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-4883052312808999\" data-ad-slot=\"2024414061\"><\/ins>\n<script>\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Die-Hard fans have been long awaited a new release from the popular smartphone manufacturer, Tecno Mobile.
