The company has finally expanded their Spark series with an unprecedented device and yes, say hello to the Tecno Spark 2 (KA7). 

The important notification here is the fact that the company is categorizing the Spark 2 under the 18:9 full screen view display.

The Tecno Spark family has been one amazing series that fetches a lot of profit for the Chinese company, Tecno mobile.

And one salient feelings that I usually get, whenever I set my eyes on any Spark series, I usually think of the flashy, sassy looking design like that of Apple iPhone.

And not only that anyways, the Spark 2 proudly runs on Android 8.1 Oreo (Go Edition), joining the likes of the Tecno F1, Itel A32F,  and others.

But the revolutionized Tecno Spark 2 (KA7) definitely sparkles me a lot. The battery capacity is incomparable to other Android GO edition.

And give it a fulfilling purpose, the handset uses 3D facial detection, and bokeh effect to the artistic portrait shots.

The premium feature is the use of Apple’s Face ID Unlock, that ensures that your face is a password to unlocking it but it may not be as powerful as that of iPhone.

But it lacks a 4G LTE for faster network connection, so you’ll be forced to use the 3G network. Others includes a WiFi, Bluetooth v4.2 and many other network and connectivity.
