Barely a month after launching the WX series of smartphones into the Nigerian market, albeit silently, Tecno is back with two new devices which they claim is targeted at the youths and social media enthusiasts — Tecno Spark & Tecno Spark Plus.
Unlike how the WX devices were introduced into the market, Tecno is making A LOT of noise about these ones on social media, across prominent tech blogs and news outlets.
Here are the full details about both devices.

The Tecno Spark (also known as Tecno K7) is a 5.5-inch display device in a premium-looking plastic body which, thanks to its Antenna band placement, looks a lot like the iPhone 7. At least, viewing the device from the back.
Looks aside, the device which ships with the latest Android version (Nougat) features a 1.3GHz Octa-core MediaTek CPU and about 2GB of RAM for multitasking.
For storing files and multimedia, the Tecno Spark has just 16GB of onboard storage which can be extended by a microSD card (up to 32GB).
The cameras on the device are also modest. With the front facing shooter having around 5 million pixels accompanied by its dedicated flash light for low light conditions, taking selfies should be effortless. The rear camera is a 13MP shooter also accompanied by a LED flash.
