Editorial report

Tecno Spark 5 technical sheet

The Tecno Spark 5 is for buyers looking for a basic phone who put battery capacity first; its 2 GB of RAM is the clearest limitation for keeping several apps in use. It has 32 GB of built-in storage, but supports expansion, giving buyers a way to add room for files and media.

Its 5000 mAh battery has more capacity than most phones of its time. The 6.6-inch IPS LCD display has an 83.7% usable surface area, above average for phones of its time, while its 266 ppi density is lower than that of most. Android 10, Dual Nano-SIM, Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n and a microUSB port round out the listed features.

The rear main camera is 13 MP with an f/1.8 aperture and Quad-LED flash, and records video at 1080p at 30 fps. There is also a 2 MP macro camera. Camera performance is below average among phones launched around the same time. Its 2 GB of RAM and 32 GB of storage are also less than most phones of its time offer. The Spark 5 has no NeoScore because its specifications do not cover enough categories to calculate one. This is a basic phone for buyers who value a larger-capacity battery and expandable storage more than plentiful RAM or a high-density display.
