The TECNO Spark 20 is a truly solid all-around mid-range phone, but could cost a little too much in an extremely competitive market.
In recent years, TECNO Mobile has truly surprised us. The lesser known of the current wave of Chinese phone makers looking to make inroads in South Africa,Yes, that is the model that most Chinese phone makers employ, but with TECNO is feels a little different, as its devices, and in particular the Spark series, have served up a no frills, solid smartphone experience that has proved impressive.
It keeps things ultra simple, and our review model comes in a colourway called Gravity Black. The rear cover has a slight iridescent quality to it, and overall the device has a real premium feel to it that is certainly better than some of the devices in a similar price bracket that we’ve reviewed in recent months.
In the case of our review device, it already had the additional 8GB of extended RAM set as default. This yielded a snappy performance in hand with the phone quick to load applications, switch between them, and multitask when needed. The camera on the Spark 20 should then prove a dependable tool, although we did wish there was a way to toggle the 50MP mode on as default, as having to select each time we open up the camera app can get a little frustrating.At R6 999 the TECNO Spark 20 is well priced, but there are other options on the market that are similar in specification and performance while not costing as much.
