Tecno Spark Plus Key Specs & Features

- 1.5GHz octa-core CPU with 2GB RAM
- Android 7.0 (Nougat)

Design and Display
With its metallic body, the Tecno Spark Plus is one cool smartphone. It looks a lot like the regular variant, but bigger. The profile is a little slimmer at about 7.75 millimetres. You will be able to get it in champagne gold, anthracite grey, elegant blue or scarlet red.
If somehow a 5.5-inch display isn’t big enough, the 6.0-inch unit on offer here should be more satisfactory. It’s just a tad disappointing that this IPS screen also comes with HD resolution. This means the Tecno Spark will offer sharper images.
Camera and Storage
The plus-size Tecno Spark Plus doesn’t differ from its smaller sibling here. There is a 13 megapixel rear camera with autofocus, face detection and HDR features. The 5 megapixel selfie snapper also features LED flash to brighten your shots.
Inbuilt storage of 16 GB is not bad at all. You can also extend this by another 32 GB using a microSD card.
Performance and OS
The Tecno Spark Plus also comes with an octa-core MediaTek processor. But the one used here is slightly faster than that of the Spark, running at speeds up to 1.5 GHz. Performance also gets a boost with an improved 2 GB of RAM. The phone boots Android 7.0 Nougat operating system with Tecno’s HiOS 2.0 skin laid over it.
Other Specs and Features
The phablet carries a bigger 3,400mAh battery, a choice one can understand given the extras it brings along. What you may not be happy about a bit is that there is no support for fast charging. A rear mounted fingerprint scanner gives extra layer of security to your data.
The Tecno Spark Plus offers dual SIM dual standby feature. There is support for speedy 4G LTE connectivity. You also get the regulars, such as Bluetooth and Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n, for wireless connectivity.
Pricing and Availability
Tecno Spark Plus is now available in Nigeria, Ghana, and Kenya. You can buy the Android phone at leading online stores in the countries. Tecno Spark Plus price in Nigeria ranges from 37,500 Naira to 50,000 Naira.
The Tecno Spark Plus Price in Kenya starts at around 8,999 KSh.
