Tecno Spark Go 2

The Tecno Spark Go 2 has a conventional, non-folding form factor measuring 165.6 mm tall, 77 mm wide, and just 8.3 mm thick, giving it a total volume of approximately 105.83 cm³. A notable design highlight is its IP64 rating, which means the device is protected against dust ingress and can withstand water splashing from any direction — though it does not carry a ruggedized build classification.

The display is a touchscreen IPS LCD panel measuring 6.67″ with a resolution of 720 x 1600 px and a pixel density of 263 ppi. One of its more notable traits is the 120Hz refresh rate, which enables smoother on-screen motion. The screen does not feature branded damage-resistant glass, an Always-On Display mode, or support for HDR10, HDR10+, or Dolby Vision, and there is no secondary screen present.

The device is driven by the Unisoc T7250 chipset, built on a 12 nm process with an octa-core CPU arranged in a big.LITTLE configuration running at 2 x 1.8 GHz and 6 x 1.6 GHz across 8 threads, and a TDP of 10W. It is paired with 4GB of DDR4 RAM clocked at 1866 MHz and 256GB of eMMC 5.1 internal storage, with the architecture supporting a maximum of 12GB of memory. Graphics are handled by the Mali G57 GPU with 2 execution units, 64 shading units, and a clock speed of 850 MHz, supporting OpenGL 3.2, OpenGL ES 3.2, and OpenCL 2. The SoC includes integrated LTE, integrated graphics, ARM TrustZone security, and multithreading support, while Geekbench 6 scores come in at 437 single-core and 1461 multi-core, with a 1 MB L3 cache rounding out the configuration.

The main camera is a single-lens 13 MP CMOS sensor with an f/1.8 aperture, supported by two LED flash units, phase-detection autofocus, touch autofocus, and continuous autofocus during video recording. It offers a range of manual controls including exposure, ISO, focus, and white balance, along with burst mode, HDR, timelapse, slow-motion video, and in-camera panoramas, though optical zoom, manual shutter speed, RAW capture, and 360° panorama shooting are not available. Video recording reaches up to 1080p at 30 fps, without support for HDR10 or Dolby Vision recording. The front camera captures at 8 MP as a single-lens unit positioned conventionally on the device, but it lacks a dedicated flash. Optical image stabilization, a back-illuminated sensor, laser autofocus, and 3D photo or video capabilities are absent from both cameras.

The device runs Android 15, a free and open-source platform that supports multi-user profiles, split-screen multitasking, Picture-in-Picture, widgets, sharing intents, and the ability to play games while they are still downloading. Privacy is addressed through location controls, camera and microphone access management, clipboard warnings, and app tracking blocking, though cross-site tracking blocking, Mail Privacy Protection, and Wi-Fi password sharing are not included. On the personalization side, users get dark mode, dynamic theming, theme customization, customizable notifications, and an extra dim mode, while focus modes and Quick Start are absent. On-device machine learning is supported alongside offline voice recognition, voice commands, Live Text, full-page screenshots, a media picker, battery health check, app offloading, child lock, and device tracking, though direct OS updates from the vendor and PC mode functionality are not available.

The device is equipped with a 5000 mAh rechargeable, non-removable battery that supports 15W fast charging, and a charger is included in the box. A battery level indicator is present for monitoring charge status. Wireless charging is not supported.

On the audio side, the device includes a 3.5 mm headphone jack and a built-in radio, offering a couple of practical options for audio use. Stereo speakers are not present, so sound output is limited to a single speaker. Regarding wireless audio codecs, none of the high-quality options — aptX, aptX HD, aptX Adaptive, aptX Lossless, or LDAC — are supported.

The device supports dual SIM cards, connects via Wi-Fi 4 (802.11n), and uses a USB Type-C port for wired connectivity, while cellular download and upload speeds reach up to 300 Mbits/s and 150 Mbits/s respectively. Location is handled through GPS with Galileo support, and an accelerometer is included among the onboard sensors, though there is no barometer, infrared sensor, heart rate monitor, or motion and optical tracking. Biometric security is covered by a fingerprint scanner, while 3D facial recognition and an iris scanner are not present. NFC, 5G, HDMI output, DLNA certification, ANT+ support, satellite SOS, crash detection, and a built-in projector are all absent, and no stylus is included. An external memory slot is available for expandable storage.

The device includes a video light for use during video recording, while the display is flat rather than curved and uses neither sapphire glass nor an e-paper panel.
