The TECNO SPARK 4 is a budget Android smartphone that launched early in October 2019. The smartphone is a successor of the Spark 3, a smartphone that launched late in March 2019.
The launch of the SPARK 4 is interesting in that it broke TECNO’s tradition of launching a Spark successor at least one year after the last.
