Editorial report

Tecno Spark 20 8 GB / 128 GB / International technical sheet

The Tecno Spark 20 suits buyers looking for an Android phone with a bright camera aperture and expandable storage, who can accept display and hardware specifications below most phones of its time. Its overall NeoScore is 4.8, and its performance is below most: it uses a MediaTek Helio G85 processor and records an AnTuTu score of 222,000. This version pairs 8 GB of RAM with 128 GB of storage; the phone is also sold in an 8 GB / 256 GB configuration and supports expandable storage.

The 6.6″ IPS LCD display has a 90 Hz refresh rate and 267 ppi, both below most phones of its time. The 50 MP rear camera has an f/1.6 aperture, among the brightest of its time, while the front camera is 32 MP. eMMC 5.1 storage rounds out the hardware.

The 5000 mAh battery capacity is typical, but 18 W fast charging is slower than what most phones of its time offer. The phone includes NFC, Bluetooth 5.2, stereo speakers, and a 3.5 mm audio jack. IP53 resistance and Android 13 complete the package. Overall, the Spark 20 makes more sense for buyers who value its camera aperture and expandable storage than for those prioritizing performance, display specifications, or charging that competes with phones launched around the same time.
