The Tecno Spark 9 suits buyers looking for a large display and a 5,000 mAh battery who can accept performance and camera specifications that trail most phones of its time. Its NeoScore is 4.1, and its overall specifications rank worse than most phones launched around the same time.

This version has 3 GB of RAM and 64 GB of storage. The Spark 9 is also sold with 4 GB / 64 GB and 6 GB / 128 GB configurations. Storage is expandable, offering room for more files.

That refresh rate is lower than on most phones of its time, while the 266 ppi pixel density is among the weakest; the display overall is typical for its period.
