Performance
Under the hood, the Tecno Spark Go is powered by a Mediatek MT6761 Helio A22 chipset, built on a 12 nm process. The quad-core 2.0 GHz Cortex-A53 CPU and PowerVR GE8320 GPU provide enough power for basic tasks and light multitasking. It runs on Android 9.0 (Pie) with the HIOS 5.0 overlay, which offers a user-friendly interface with some additional features unique to Tecno.
Despite its modest hardware, the phone suffices for routine activities such as texting, calling, and light app usage. However, it's important to manage expectations; intensive gaming or demanding applications may not perform optimally given the 1GB or 2GB RAM options paired with 16GB of internal storage. Thankfully, the storage can be expanded via a dedicated microSDXC card slot.
