Tecno Spark 30 Review: Camera, Display, Performance & Every Upgrade

The Tecno Spark series always fascinates a lot of customers due to its budget-friendly price and decent specs. The same is the case with the latest edition, Spark 30. Many of you will be wondering about the upgrades. Well! It surely has some improvements in the camera and performance. However, you will also notice some downgrades. So without any further ado, let’s see the Tecno Spark 30 price in Pakistan and other details. 

Overview

The first upgrade you will notice is in its size. The new Tecno Smart 30 comes with a larger and brighter display. The rear camera has also shown a slight improvement but there is a compromise in its selfie camera. One notable upgrade is in its performance with an enhanced chipset. Now, that we have the overview of what to expect, let’s begin our discussion so you can get a more detailed picture. 

Upgraded Camera

The Techno Spark 30 features the 64MP Sony IMX682 primary sensor for clear and vivid images (as claimed by the company). However, Tecno isn’t highly popular in terms of phone cameras. The four rear flashlights enhance brightness even in low-lighting conditions. 

While the rear camera is slightly improved in contrast with the Spark 20’s 50 MP, the opposite is the case with the selfie camera. At the front, it comes with a 13MP centered punch-hole camera which is a downgrade from the 32MP selfie camera of its predecessor.

Tecno Spark 30 comes with MediaTek Helio G91 chipset. It is decent but you can find many better chipsets at the price point it is offered. Moreover, you get an 8GB (expandable up to 16GB) of RAM and 128GB/256GB storage. Also, you will get the newer Android 14 OS out of the box.
