Design and Display
The Tecno Spark 6 takes on a chassis re-design, which in my opinion gives it a more modern look. However, it doesn’t stray far from the build and form factor we have become accustomed to seeing on smartphones from this series.
The rear panel features a plastic covering on which you will find a circular camera module, that resembles what we saw on the Infinix Note 7.
The rear panel also bears an optical fingerprint sensor, the Spark and Tecno branding, which indicates its a Tecno smartphone.
Upfront, we have got pretty much the same setup for last year with a bigger display. This setup comprises of a 6.8 – inch IPS LCD display with a hole punch display. This display has a resolution of 720 x 1640 and a density of 266 PPI.
The Tecno Spark 6 comes in in four color variants, which include Ocean Blue, Comet Black, Dynamic Orabge, Misty Violet.

The Tecno Spark 6 takes the series a leap forward by featuring the Helio G70 processor which is a way higher than what we have gotten on other smartphones released in the series in past years.
