Design

The Tecno Spark 20 has a modern design that makes it look beautiful. The camera island has three rings. Two rings are dedicated to the cameras, while the third one is for the quad flashlight. The phone has a matte finish that hides fingerprints and smudges. Tecno used plastic materials to create the phone, and you can enjoy a side-mounted fingerprint. The phone has two speakers that balance the sound, although it does not have a heavy bass. You can hold it comfortably for an extended period since it is flat with slightly curved edges. The colour options include Gravity Black, Cyber White, Neon Gold, and Magic Skin 2.0.

Display

The 6.6-inch IPS LCD gives the Tecno Spark 20 an impressive view. The display has a 720 resolution and a 90Hz refresh rate, which is ideal for the price. The high refresh rate makes scrolling seamless, and you can enjoy fast transitions between apps. You can set the phone to adaptive brightness, but it reaches up to 500 nits of peak brightness. The colours are vivid and sharp when watching videos. Overall, the display is impressive for the price.

You can purchase the 128 GB of internal storage with 8 GB RAM option or the 256 GB of internal storage with 8 GB RAM. The best thing is that you can expand the storage using a microSD.

The MediaTek Helio G85 chipset gives the Spark 20 an impressive performance. You will not notice any lag while using the phone, and apps open swiftly. Multitasking is decent since you can run multiple apps in the background.
