Editorial report

Tecno Spark 3 technical sheet

The Tecno Spark 3 is suited to basic phone use, but its trade-offs are limited memory and a battery with below-average capacity. It has 2 GB of RAM and 16 GB of storage, expandable with a card up to 128 GB.

Its 6.2-inch IPS LCD display has a density of 268 ppi, lower than most phones of its time. At 150 g, the phone weighs less than most; its screen-to-body ratio of 82.2% is above average. The 3,500 mAh battery is below average for phones launched around the same time. Its AnTuTu result of 54,000 is among the weakest of that period.

The rear camera has 13 MP resolution, an average figure for its time, and no optical image stabilization. Overall, the camera is among the weakest of phones launched around the same time. For everyday basics, the Spark 3 has dual Nano-SIM support, GPS, FM radio and a 3.5 mm audio jack. Its storage can also be expanded by up to 128 GB.

Overall, the Tecno Spark 3 is among the weakest phones launched around the same time, with a NeoScore of 2.8. It is best suited to people who want essential features and a light phone, and do not prioritize strong performance, generous memory or a larger-capacity battery.
