The Tecno Spark 4 in Cameroon arrives with the same following phones of this series (such as the Spark 5) enjoy. The Tecno Spark series has grown so much popularity among consumers since it was introduced to the market. The series, however, always seemed to have one problem. I also never liked the Spark series's battery life, let alone the poor front camera performance.
Tecno seems to have fixed the battery life and the front camera problem on the Spark 4. The device has also got a more prominent display with a waterdrop design. The phone comes in 4 colors; Royal Purple, Vacation Blue, Misty Grey, and Energetic Orange.
The Helio A22 is not that bad as it performs really well on some devices like the Infinix. The Spark 4, however, gets slower and slower as you continue to use it. It was harrowing to wait over 4 seconds for the keyboard to come up. The phone's speed might look normal for an average user, but if you're used to a more high-range smartphone, you will be disappointed.
At the front, the phone rocks a single 8 MP camera. This camera, combined with the low-resolution display, produces some grainy selfies. The selfies are, however, descent if you consider the device's price.

Tecno Spark 4 Review and Specifications.
Display
The Spark 4 has a massive 6.52-inch display with a 720 x 1560 display resolution. The screen also features the waterdrop notch design, and it really makes the screen look pretty huge. The large screen is fun to use. I installed Asphalt Nitro, which ran smoothly at medium graphics settings. As for those who like to watch movies, the display won't disappoint at all.Hardware
This is where my problem with the Spark 4 lies. The phone runs on a Mediatek Helio A22 chipset. The phone runs Android 9.0 out of the box. As for the internal storage, the phone comes with 32 GB and 3 GB of RAM. The RAM is quite enough, but I don't think it does any good to the Spark 4.

Camera
The phone sport a triple camera setup at the rear. The cameras are; a 13 MP primary camera, 2 MP camera, and a low light sensor. Don't expect too much from this camera. All I can say is that it will meet your day-to-day needs. Expecting it to shoot perfect pictures is a dream.
