Editorial report

Tecno Spark 4 Air technical sheet

The Tecno Spark 4 Air is suited to basic use for anyone prioritizing a light phone, but its battery has less capacity than most phones of its time. It weighs 168 g and has a 3,000 mAh battery, a trade-off worth weighing when choosing a simple handset.

Performance is a major limitation: its AnTuTu result is among the weakest of its time, while 2 GB of RAM and 32 GB of storage are less than most phones of the period offer. The 6.1″ IPS LCD display has a density of 282 ppi, below average. Its weight is a relative strength, though the design and display together are worse than most phones of its time.

The camera is among the weakest of its time, and its 13 MP resolution is below average. Connectivity is also below average, although the phone supports Dual Nano-SIM and Wi-Fi 5. Android 9 and expandable storage round out a straightforward set of features.

Overall, the Spark 4 Air is among the weakest phones of its time, particularly for performance, camera and battery. Its NeoScore is 2.8. It suits basic needs for buyers willing to accept limited resources and a battery with less capacity than most contemporaries.
