Display and Camera
In terms of display, the Tecno Y2 packs a relatively small unit measuring 4 inches diagonally. The touchscreen has a resolution of about 480 x 800 pixels, which has come to become the hallmark of budget smartphones. It should offer decent viewing, but definitely nothing out of the ordinary.
The Tecno Y2 offers a rather poor main camera of 2 megapixels. This surely does not sound like what can be trusted to deliver jaw-dropping images. I mean what do you expect from a basic smartphone like this anyway? The VGA (0.3-megapixel) selfie snapper does not give a lot to cheer about either.
Hardware and Software
Under the hood, the Tecno Y2 is equipped with a dual-core Cortex-A9 processor which runs along at a maximum speed of 1 GHz. The CPU is given support by 1 GB of RAM.
While the processor might not promise awesome performance, the supporting RAM should give much needed boost to make for manageably enjoyable user experience. Integrated storage memory size is 8 GB, which you should be able to expand.
The Y2 runs on the now-obsolete Android 4.4 KitKat operating system – not overly shocking given its budget status.
Other Features
The Tecno Y2 is accompanied by a battery with a capacity of about 1,600 mAh, looking to deliver at least around four hours of talk time.
The Tecno Y2 supports dual-SIM functionality to enable you separate different aspects of your life by using two SIM cards simultaneously.
The budget phone supports high-speed 3G connectivity and that is the best you get. Who will be right to expect 4G LTE support on this one anyway? It comes pre-loaded with regular apps such as Facebook, Opera Mini and Palmchat.
Pricing and availability
Tecno Y2 is available in Nigeria. You can buy the entry-level smartphone at leading online stores in Nigeria. Tecno Y2 Price in Nigeria ranges from N14,500 to N18,000 depending on your location in the country.
