Tecno Spark 4 Air is the latest addition to the Spark line up but still has similar features with its predecessor. It has a 6.1-inch HD+ IPS LCD display with a waterdrop notch, an Helio A22 Chipset from Mediatek paired with 3GB of RAM and 32GB of inbuilt storage. There is also a dual rear-facing camera, a fingerprint sensor and a 3,000mAh battery bringing the whole package to life. Let’s dig a little deeper.
Tecno Spark 4 Air Key Specs

- Android 9.0 Pie, 3GB Of RAM
- MediaTek Helio A22, Quad-core 2.0GHz

Design And Display
As expected of a budget, the Tecno Spark 4 Air’s body’s is made of up plastic with a 2.5D curved glass covering the 6.1-inch display with a 720 x 1560 pixels screen resolution. The display uses the 19:9 aspect ratios with a waterdrop notch up top housing the selfie camera. A small, albeit noticeable chin, sits at the bottom. At the back of the device is the dual-camera setup with an LED flash in-between the camera and a fingerprint sensor at its usual spot in the centre.
This device has a dual SIM card slot with a dedicated microSD card slot for extra storage. It also comes in various three colour options to choose from like Aqua Blue, Midnight Black and Champagne Gold.
We have a total of 3 cameras here, a combination of a main 13MP shooter and a 2MP depth sensor camera at the back, and a single 13MP camera at the front for selfies. The rear cameras are equipped with an LED flash, HDR and Panorama. It can even shoot 1080p videos at 30fps. Meanwhile, the front-facing camera, on the other hand, can only record 720p videos at 30fps with support for FaceID.
Performance
Under the hood lies the Mediatek Helio A22 Chipset which is based on the 12nm process technology and has a Quad-core processor clocked at 2.0GHz paired with a PowerVR GPU for games and graphics.
It also has 3GB of RAM for the running apps smoothly and 32GB of internal storage for your files, which can be upgraded via the dedicated microSD card slot onboard. Tecno Spark 4 runs Android 9.0 Pie out of the box with, of course, Tecno’s own HiOS slapped on top.
Battery capacity on this device is 3,000mAh unit which should be enough for a day’s use. Unfortunately, though, there is no word on if it supports or does not support fast charging. It does, however, has 4G LTE connectivity, Bluetooth, WiFi hotspot, WiFi, GPS, the dated 3.5mm jack and a micro-USB port for file transfer and charging.
The device has been launched in Bangladesh and will be available in other countries soon

apart from the 3000 mah battery, i think there is everything to love about this device, from the design to storage and its 4GLTE, i believe it should be budget friendly too considering its in the spark series.
Keep up with the good doings Tecno but you can try and increase the battery capacity though
How much is this phone? Can I get it in Ibadan?
please tecno spark
design a model that have big screen like L9plus seriously is going to be marketed this is my suggestion
I’m really disappointed how will you build phone and u called it spark 4 air without any tin different from d juniors ones D mAh battery is too low 3000 I love my spark 2. Plz do something about it before bringing it out for people to buy
