Tecno Spark Power 2 Air Unveiled with a Humongous 7.0 inch Screen and a Massive 6,000 mAh Battery

If you take a feature set, dial it up to the max — well past the industry-standard —  you get the trend the budget-sensitive smartphone brands like Tecno are following. Their latest entry, the Tecno Spark Power 2 Air, which builds on this playbook with a giant display and battery, launched today. Here’s what it features.

The design of the Spark Power 2 Air is fairly generic (as you’d expect from a budget-first model). There’s a notch on top of the remarkably tall 7-inch display and a boxy camera plate on the back.

The Tecno screen is surrounded in mid-sized bezels and reaches an HD+ resolution and 90.6% screen-to-body ratio. 

The battery powering the Tecno Spark Power 2 Air is 6,000 mAh, advertised to last four days of usage out of a single charge. Impressive as that claim might be, the chipset at the heart of the phone is mediocre, even for an entry-level 2020 smartphone. MediaTek’s two-generation old Helio A22 handles processing, rounded off by 3GB of memory and 32GB of storage — expandable up to 256GB. 

While performance Spark isn’t the Power 2 Air’s forte, it does have dual stereo speakers — a feature almost alien to the ultra-budget tier. For easy access, Google Assistant can be summoned with a dedicated side-mounted button. Overall an affordable new addition to the Tecno Price List

Flip the Tecno Power 2 Air over to find a ridge-textured plastic back, a lengthened camera island with four cameras stacked on top of each other, and a standard fingerprint scanner. It comes in Ice Jadeite and Cosmic Shine colorways.

The so-called quad-camera has a 13MP main camera, two 2MP sensors (presumably depth-mapping and macro), and a space-filler AI lens. Your selfies are captured with an 8MP front camera. Currently, the Tecno Spark Power 2 Air is available in India and should arrive in Pakistan soon — starting from Rs. 19,000.
