One month after the release of the TECNO Spark 5, the company has launched another Spark smartphone called the Spark Power 2. The device will succeed the unpopular Spark Power which was released around November 2019.

The device comes in just two body colours – Ice Jadeite and Misty Grey. The back features a module accomodating four cameras and a quad-LED flash. Also at the back is a fingerprint reader for biometric security. The reader also acts as a camera shutter and can perform other functions like receiving calls and dismissing alarms. There is a dedicated Smart Key to summon Google Assistant and 3.5mm headphone jack.

The display of the Spark Power 2 features a 20.5:9 aspect ratio, 720 x 1640 pixels resolution and 480 nits brightness. The large screen size gives you that cinematic viewing experience when watching movies.

For the hardware part, it has a MediaTek Helio P22 SoC which is married to a 4GB RAM and 64GB storage. It also allows for extra storage up to 256GB via a dedicated microSD slot.
Camera
The display features a waterdrop notch which is home to a 16MP camera for taking quality selfies. Around the back of the Spark Power 2 is the AI quad-camera setup. The module which is aligned in a vertical position consists of a 16MP main lens, a 5MP ultrawide angle lens with 115° FoV, a 2MP macro lens and an AI lens for bokeh effect. The quad-LED flash ensures that your photos come out great and detailed even in low-light or dark environment.
