The Tecno Spark 3 Pro was launched in Kenya last week and is currently available for Ksh 12,499. You can get this phone online through Jumia and through Tecno branded shops across the country. This is the first smartphone from Tecno to launch in Kenya this year and is the successor to the Spark 2 from last year.
I was a big fan of the Tecno Spark 2 as it offered value for money. It was not the most expensive smartphone from Tecno but was still my favourite. Even with its drawbacks, it did have some appealing features starting with the design. The phone also had really good cameras for its price and had a battery life that made it stand out.
With the Tecno Spark 3, the company will try and match the success of the Spark 2 and I am excited to see how that turns out. The phone comes with some upgraded specifications that I am curious how customers will react to.
Here are some of the key specifications of the Tecno Spark 3 Pro.
