It seems like AI (Artificial Intelligence) Camera is no longer a rare find in latest smartphones and the Tecno Spark 3 is not an exception. But first, what does AI camera do?
AI Cameras help to save time by smartly performing the required enhancement in real time, which would otherwise require hours of editing with Photoshop and the likes.

On the device, you can switch between various modes such as Video, AI CAM, Beauty, Bokeh, and AR Shot, to suit your preference.
Verdict
Honestly, when I heard the price of the Tecno Spark 3, I had zero expectations of its camera. Not like I expected it to be completely whack but I didn’t expect so much from it. My verdict? The camera is a lot better than I imagined. It’s not some Samsung S10 ninja stunt going on there, but it’s a lot better than most smartphones in the same range of the Tecno Spark 3.
