Tecno Spark 6 Comes With Multiple Bluetooth Audio Share
Transsion holdings have unraveled a new smartphone and it comes with an eccentric design. The Tecno Spark 6 smartphone shares similarities in features to the Spark 5 and Spark 5 pro devices released earlier in the year, but bears a stark contrast in design to these models.
The Tecno Spark brand is a series of smartphones which are targeted at low-earning smartphone markets, like those of Nigeria. The Spark series is a popular one in the African powerhouse, as well as the continent in whole. These smartphones attract users by their pricing, which as at when compared to the features offered is worth it. This means that one shouldn’t expect much of an exclusive high-end smartphone in this series offered by Tecno.
The Spark 5 and the recently announced Spark 6 are powered by a 5000mAh battery which supports an 18W fast charging. There’s also minimal changes in camera specifications from the earlier one packed by the Spark 5 models.
The Mediatek Helio G70 processor brought in to the Spark 6 smartphone from the earlier A25 processor which powered the Spark 5 appeals more to the European market. Tecno have recently crafted some of their devices to get the interest of the European markets and switching to the powerful G70 is one of those moves.
Unlike other models, the Spark 6 allows a Bluetooth connection to multiple speakers or receivers. Full specifications of the smartphone are as follows:
Display
Tecno Spark 6 outclasses its predecessors with a better 6.8 inches IPS LCD capacitive touchscreen and a 720 x 1640 pixels resolution.
