Design
It combines curves and straight lines; in a harmonious connection in designing the Spark 20 Pro 5G. The back of the device is slightly curved, which makes the phone easy to hold and gives it’s a premium look. Its chamfered sides are slightly less rounded than on previous Pixels, but still subtly shaped for a more comfortable grip. With its mix of curves and straight lines, the result is a modern looking and more comfortable design.
Both from a design, and materials standpoint the Spark 20 Pro 5G is packaged with quality substance that not only looks good but should also hold up well. There's a considerably sturdy metal alloy frame around the device, giving it that solidity and sturdiness you'd associate with an expensive gadget. Although the back is plastic, you would not know that unless told it has a glass look and feel.
Apart from that, Tecno has also added some protection in the design of the Spark 20 Pro 5G it brings Corning Gorilla Glass protection on both sides to keep it safe from scratches or even accidental drops. This extra layer of protection also safeguards the overall look and feel of your device for years down the line.
Display

The screen provides a Full HD+ resolution of 1080 x 2400 pixels, which is perfect for clear and great views. The pixel density looks good enough and you should be able to manage a clear view of the text as well as images.
The Spark 20 Pro 5G has a display that supports up to a 120Hz refresh rate as one of its key highlights. It will be a game changer for gamers and type of users who want very smooth experience, with up to 90Hz refresh rate. This increased refresh rate versus standard 60Hz displays translates to less jarring and smoother scrolling, animations, and overall system responsiveness.
The Spark 20 Pro 5G has a good brightness level, and this is enough for outdoor reading. It is kind of an everyday setup, not as bright as some flagships but should be fine in most day scenarios. Its Auto Brightness feature meanwhile tweaks the visibility according to ambient light.

The 8MP selfie camera is capable of clicking decent selfies with enough detail and accurate skin tone. Share also has some beauty modes, filters etc. for better portrait shots.
Low-Light Photography
Another place whit the Spark 20 Pro 5G just shines is low-light photography.

The presence of night mode on the Spark 20 Pro 5G ensures that even images taken with low-light are considered, as this feature stacks multiple exposures to create a more refined and less noisy output.
