1GB ram is OK, a bit small but OK.where do you want to see a 3GB ram phone at 36k.Except all this brand that don't have names.even if tecno put 2GB ram on the phone which they already have,you people will look for another fault. I'm very if the 2GB variant was 36k.y'all will start attacking the processor.that it is too outdated

1GB RAM is not OK.
2GB RAM is mediocre for such a recent android version

But since it's low-end, 2GB RAM should be the start point.
The price will be higher, yes

It's better than lower prices with crappy bricks everywhere

And yeah, you right, if it's not the RAM, we'll attack tbe processor.

Because with Tecno and Infinix, there's always a lot to attack

Freelancerx:
Runs on Android Go. Made for low capacity phones. It will actually work fine. My concern is lack of 4G.

Yeah Android go is meant for low speced phones
But this isn't running anything near Android Go.

They'll surely strip down some elements of the UI, but it's just not enough

Nokia 2 is an amazing phone for its price but like Spark 2, they cut a lot of corners to keep price down.

1. 5 inch HD display with oldschool 2D glass. the upside, it's gorilla glass 3.

2. The cheapest snapdragon chipset, the upside is it's snapdragon and costs more than MTK 6580.

3. 8GB internal storage, upside being keeping the price down.

4. 1GB RAM, upside to keep price down

4. 8+5MP camera, again price as the upside.

5. Design, the biggest downside for me coz it looks like this

Bruh the camera is not your average typa.


My only grievance with this phone of a truth is the internal memory.

Plus you forgot the battery.

henry007:

I didn't buy

oh okay cool

There's nothing wrong with a 1GB RAM device. Y'all be making it sound like it's a disease. Some people are not heavy users.

It's a disease o.
Do you know how frustrating it is to leave chrome to go reply someone on WhatsApp, only to come back and have to reload the page

Or you watching a movie on MXplayer
You go to Whatsapp to reply someone and 'fiam,' MX player restarts totally, you have to goan look for the movie you were just watching (if you don't know about the button that plays the last watched video)


And these are just light weight stuff o

How about the lags everywhere
You tap the home key and wait for about 2 or 3 seconds for the action to occur

And shii laidat

It's a disease o abeg

Ever heard of Android Oreo Go Edition? 1GB ram can handle 2 social media apps at the same time(splitscreen) so how won't you be able to leave your video/chat app to attend to another lite app?

If you're running a game and then you want to leave to go and do other stuff, even 2GB ram isn't enough. Games just close to optimize battery.

Running games while running anything else at the same time is what kills battery the most.

nonichuks:


Lol i laugh in Nokia 2.1. All join abeg.

He he he

Ok,
First, this is not Android Go

Then, 2GB RAM isn't even enough but it is 2 times less shitty than 1GB RAM

Isn't that a step better?

Battery is all good. Part of what makes the Nokia 2 amazing.

I forgot something i can't live without tho, no fingerprint sensor.

How much would it have cost them?

To me, face ID is crap compared to fingerprint sensor.

Spark 2 uses android Oreo Go edition. Google it.

Read about it https://www.android.com/versions/oreo-8-0/go-edition/

The catch is that phones with 2GB ram don't need to run on Android Go edition but 1GB ram phones do.

I wish someone could do ram management test to find it if the difference is so so much.

The fingerprint sensor put me off too. Honestly. I wanted to get the Spark that day but I just figured the battery plus 4G is an advantage. 4G I've never used.

Thinking of upgrading to the Nokia 5

Can't live without 4G. Also can't kill my battery with mobile data.... haven't used mobile data since 2014. I'm team MiFi/small phone for hotspot.

When i discovered the difference between using mobile data and running miFi especially with bad network areas like south south, i stopped using mobile data.

Enlighten me bruh. @emboldened.

Those days we use 2 batteries before 6PM because press press without stoppage. After free WiFi neighbor moved in, suddenly one battery is reaching 4PM, sometimes 5PM. Discovered the network just makes the phone warm. Same phone was now running cool after hours of pressing. Omo when i upgraded to android, my BB became a hotspot fone and later android became the hotspot phone Paired with MTN MB cheat of course, those were the good old days

Seems like it's not the case in Lagos, everywhere has good network and all

I don't think any other phone brand receives as much hate as tecno/Infinix.what abt the mighty Samsung and iPhone .....no there's nothing to attack in Samsung and iPhone,not the fact that they have the worst batteries or that they are bloody expensive.No Samsung/iPhone can never go wrong.but tecno and Infinix can.The truth is,Tecno/infinix are not dumb.they can't make the perfect phone.....market strategy,there has to be a downside to each phone. If you're all complaining,Go and make your own phone.

He he he, Tecno already makes phones with 4GBs of RAM

So RAM and CPU shouldn't be too much of a problem for them

And I'm sure you don't know what you're saying about Samsung's batteries, one of the worst?

I give up

Oh, no wonder, sorry about that
Didn't know it ran Android Go
No wonder you kept saying it.

Well, let's be looking.
That might just decrap the phone a bit

I can't even comman kill myself for these people saying the phone is trash. With this kind of unboxing, and that price, i'm willing to try. Tecno helps people like us that want good devices but don't have plenty money. So, biko, let the spoilers calm down on this one. 1GB RAM isn't so bad as y'all claim.

Lionbite:
So this is the trash I've been waiting for? No 4G, 1gb ram, like seriously? In 2018? This tecno bullsh1t is a joke

oga small small na,ds na for people wey fit afford am. you na chairman na,i can see u rocking your Samsung s9+,as u enjoy, leave ds one for poor man

I know Samsung batteries. they are 3500mah and below.only once in a while,their phones pass 3500mah.but in the category of batteries I was referring more to iphones.

i heard there is a 2gb RAM version of the spark 2

nice review, great device this spark 2 is

Brilliant

i wan buy this phone right now. Jumia is unreliable. i Go put hand for the money now.

Because u can't use it doesn't mean it doesn't fit what others want. It's a budget phone I'm sure.
