Design

Visually Tecno Spark 6 is an interesting model. On its front side, the positioning of the front camera is impressive. It is in the upper left corner. The frames on the sides and above the screen are relatively thin, while the one at the bottom is actually quite large. This solution is understandable for a budget phone.

Looking at the back, the Tecno Spark 6 has a round block of cameras. The block protrudes slightly above the surface and is visually divided into two halves. One is set aside for the four camera modules and the lower for the flash.

Now let's tell you in what colors Tecno Spark 6 is available - black, blue, orange and purple. Each color is pleasantly bright and memorable. The back panel of the smartphone is made of glossy plastic. In front there is glass on which a protective layer is applied.

In terms of dimensions, this Tecno model is large. It is not possible to use it comfortably with one hand. It is worth activating the control mode with one hand from the settings. Despite the considerable thickness of the case - 9.2, cm, the device feels comfortable in the hand. The rounded edges of the case contribute to the good impression. All buttons are located adequately.

Display

One of the indisputable advantages of the Tecno Spark 6 is its display. It has a diagonal of 6.8 inches. It is made using IPS LCD technology, its resolution is HD+ at an aspect ratio of 20.5:9 and a pixel density of 264 inches. The maximum brightness of the screen is 480 nits.

In other words, the Tecno Spark 6 features a display with good color rendering, a decent level of brightness and good viewing angles. Diagonally, it is slightly discolored.

Productivity

Tecno Spark 6 is based on a mid-level chipset from Mediatek - Helio G70, which consists of eight cores divided into two clusters. We see two Cortex-A75 cores clocked at up to 2.0 GHz and six Cortex-A52 cores clocked at up to 1.7 GHz. The graphics accelerator is Mali-G52 MC2. In addition, they have 4 GB of LPDDR4x RAM. For a budget device, this RAM is like a golden mean. It is sufficient to ensure the normal operation of the Tecno Spark 6.

At the same time, the internal storage is 64 or 128 GB, depending on the modification. If you choose the one with less memory, you can increase it with a microSD memory card up to 256 GB.

As a result, the Tecno Spark 6 turned out fast enough. Applications run fast and impress smoothly. For this price range you can not rely on the device for heavy games.

Camera

Tecno Spark 6 has a rear camera consisting of four modules. The main one is 16-megapixel with f / 1.9 aperture and PDAF phase autofocus. It is complemented by a 2-megapixel macro camera, a 2-megapixel depth sensor and a QVGA scene detection module.

With Tecno Spark 6 in hand you will create normal shots in good lighting. They will be with sufficient detail and correct colors. In more complex conditions, do not rely on such good results. Digital noises, less detail, etc. are possible. In the camera settings you will find background blur mode, AR effects and AI optimization, which is interesting.

Tecno Spark 6 allows you to make videos with a maximum resolution of 2560 x 1440 pixels.

The front camera is a single 8-megapixel camera with an aperture of f / 2.0. Its capabilities are not impressive. The detail is mediocre, the colors are slightly pale. However, it is sufficient for video calls. We recommend that you take selfies with HDR on.

The manufacturer has provided several modes for beautification - smoothing the skin, changing its color, enlarging the eyes and more.

Phone unlock methods

Tecno Spark 6 offers two ways to unlock - fingerprint scanner and facial recognition. Both approaches work fast enough and precisely. As for the darkness factor in the second way, you can turn on the function of increasing the brightness of the display backlight.

Autonomous work

Tecno Spark 6 is equipped with a non-removable battery with a capacity of 5000 mAh. Thanks to the more energy-efficient processor and advanced software, you have excellent battery life.

Conclusion

Choose this smartphone if you are looking for a cheap device with a large display, decent photo capabilities, plenty of RAM and a nice design.
