- Panel Type: IPS LCD
- Aspect Ratio: 20:9
- Brightness: 500 nits (typical)
Performance:
The Tecno Spark Go 2024 features a large 6.56-inch HD+ display that offers decent clarity and sharpness for everyday tasks like browsing, social media, and watching videos. The IPS panel delivers good color reproduction, though the resolution remains on the lower side compared to higher-end models. For its price, the display provides good brightness and contrast, allowing for clear visibility even in direct sunlight.
While the display lacks the sharpness or vibrant colors seen in higher-end devices, it performs adequately for a phone in its price bracket, offering a satisfactory experience for media consumption and casual gaming.
In summary:
The display is decent for budget users, providing enough clarity for day-to-day usage, though users looking for a more immersive viewing experience may find the resolution lacking.
Performance

Camera Performance:
In bright outdoor conditions, the Tecno Spark Go 2024’s 13 MP primary camera delivers decent photos with good color accuracy and contrast. The AI-enhanced photography features improve the image quality slightly, especially in portrait shots, where the secondary AI lens helps with background blur (bokeh effect).
In low-light conditions, the camera struggles, producing grainy images with less detail, a common issue for budget phones. The 5 MP front camera is adequate for casual selfies and video calls, but the lack of details in low light may disappoint selfie enthusiasts.
Video Recording:
The device supports 1080p video recording at 30fps. While it’s decent for basic video capture, it lacks advanced features such as stabilization, making it less ideal for recording while on the move.
In summary:
The camera setup is decent for casual photography in well-lit environments, but users seeking more robust camera performance may need to consider higher-end options.
Battery Life
Specifications:
- Battery Capacity: 5000 mAh
- Charging Speed: 10W charging
Performance:
The 5000 mAh battery is one of the strongest features of the Tecno Spark Go 2024. The device can easily last a full day on moderate usage, including browsing, social media, and watching videos. For light users, it can even stretch to two days without needing a recharge.
Though the phone only supports 10W charging, it takes a little over 2 hours to fully charge, which is acceptable in this price range. While fast charging isn’t available, the large battery capacity compensates by providing long-lasting power.
In summary:
The Tecno Spark Go 2024 excels in battery life, making it a great choice for users who prioritize long usage times without frequent charging.
