Tecno Spark 30 review: specs, battery & used prices

Summary

The Tecno Spark 30 is a basic big-screen Android: a 6.78-inch 90 Hz IPS LCD, a Helio G91, a 5,000 mAh battery with 18 W charging and a 64 MP main camera, at $130 new for 8/128 GB. Everyday 32/100, camera 13/100, screen 33/100 — a modest step up from the Pop line, priced accordingly, with IP64 as an unusual durability perk at this level.

Display and design

The 6.78-inch IPS panel runs at 90 Hz and 800 nits — respectable motion and outdoor legibility for LCD, with contrast the main compromise (screen 33/100). The IP64 rating is the standout spec: proper dust protection plus splash handling that most budget phones skip entirely. At 193 g it is a large but manageable slab.

Performance

The Helio G91 covers messaging, social apps and streaming without drama; gaming 0/100 and everyday 32/100 place it firmly in utility territory. No OS-update commitment is published.

Camera

A single 64 MP sensor with no stabilization, ultrawide or published video modes. The camera score of 13/100: daylight shots are fine, the ceiling is low.

Battery and charging

5,000 mAh with 18 W charging — battery 40/100, charging 0/100. Light users will see two days; everyone else will see a phone that fills overnight and lasts the day comfortably.

Verdict

The Spark 30's edge over cheaper Pop models is screen size, the IP64 rating and a bit more camera — a sensible $130 package for a first phone or a work device. The next meaningful step in Tecno's own ladder is the Pova 6 with its OLED and monster battery.
