Tecno Spark Power 2 Air: Design
Tecno has refreshed its budget smartphone series with the launch of the Spark Power 2 Air. The device comes with a gradient design panel and features a polycarbonate back. The device flaunts a tall 7-inch display that has a DOT-style notch. Speaking of the display specifications, the handset offers an HD+ resolution of 720 x 1640 pixels. It has an aspect ratio of 20:5:9, a peak brightness of 480 nits and an aspect ratio of 90.6 percent. The big display is suitable for video playback, but if it would have been an FHD+ panel it would have been one solid deal.
Tecno Spark Power 2 Air: Hardware Performance
The Tecno Spark Power 2 has the MediaTek Helio A22 processor to handle the processing. This quad-core has a base frequency of 2GHz and is paired with 3GB RAM. The company has launched the smartphone with 32GB storage option. The device has additional support for up to 256GB microSD card which is sufficient to store general files and other data. The entry-level processor will allow the device to give a satisfactory performance with day-to-day tasks. Don’t expect a lag-free user experience with graphics-intensive gaming (with the highest settings).
Tecno Spark Power 2 Air: Price To Specs Ratio
The Tecno Spark Power 2 Air comes in a solo 3GB RAM and 32GB storage option. The company has kept the pricing at Rs. 8,499 for both Cosmic Shine and Ice Jadeite color options. The pricing seems fair for a budget smartphone which is packed with a humongous display, a quad-rear camera setup, and a beefy 6,000 mAh battery.
Tecno Spark Power 2 Air: Camera Performance
The Tecno Spark 2 Air has four cameras housed inside a rectangular module at the back. The handset has a 13MP primary sensor which has an f/1.8 aperture, a 2MP macro sensor, and a 2MP depth sensor both of which have an f/2.4 aperture. The camera setup is completed by a fourth AI sensor. The device has several camera modes which include Auto-Scene Detection, HDR, Bokeh, and Macro modes. The selfies are handled by an 8MP camera packed inside the U-shaped notch.
Tecno Spark 2 Air: Highlight/ Important Features
The Tecno Spark 2 Air biggest highlight besides the massive 7-inch display is its 6,000 mAh battery unit. The device has joined the leagues of the few budget smartphones available in the market which has this big battery. The device is expected to last an entire day and probably a bit more on a single charge. For security, the smartphone is equipped with a physical fingerprint scanner at the rear panel.
Verdict
The Tecno Spark 2 Air is yet another budget smartphone to hit the Indian mobile space. The device retails under Rs. 10,000 price mark and the company has gambled here with a huge 7-inch FHD+ display and a 6,000 mAh battery. Also, there are four cameras for improved photography experience. It makes for a decent budget phone at an asking price of Rs. 8,499.

Rating a smartphone is a tedious process and a lot of parameters have to be considered before judging the overall performance of the device such as display, camera, processor, RAM, storage, battery, and the pricing.
So, here are how these specs will affect the real-life usage of a device and why how we meticulously consider each of these points to rate a smartphone.
Cameras have evolved a lot over the last few years and multi-camera setup is a new norm. We consider various parameters like MP count, aperture size, pixel size, image stabilization to rate a camera system of a smartphone out of 5. Any device that scores more than 3.5 can take good photos and videos and if a phone scores over 4, then it will be one of the best camera smartphones in the market.
Though battery seems like an underrated feature and we look at the battery capacity, fast charging supporting technology, and even the wireless charging capability is also taken into consideration to rate smartphone's battery capability.
The display is the face of a smartphone. And there are a lot of parameters like the panel technology (IPS LCD, OLED, TFT) and other parameters also taken into consideration like the resolution, pixel density, and refresh rate.
A smartphone could have great specs, but if it is not priced well then you might not get the best value-for-money. So, we compare a smartphone with the contemporaries to rate the value-for-money of a device out of 5.
This aspect is decided on various sub specifics, such as availability of microSD card slot, the amount of RAM the device offers, processor capability, and the network support. This parameter has more weightage when compared to other departments.
