Setting up your TECNO Spark 3
It is recommended to charging your phone before powering it on for usage. However, every new phone comes at least with 25% battery life on. We still recommend you charge the phone before powering it on.
Charging up the phone to full can take up to 3 hours. The spark 3 does not support quick charge that can take up to 2 hours to full charge.
Before powering on the phone, insert your sim cards first. Now the sim card size that goes into the phone are nano-sims. >> Open the back lid of the spark 3 to insert the cards including; your expandable microSD card. Once done inserting the sim and microSD card, go a head and power on the phone.
On powering the phone, your asked to select your language of preference. HINT. The language can be then changed at a later date in setting if the consumer prefers to.
Go forth — answer a series of questions asked which include; inputting your google account, country selection, fingerprint, faceID, among others. Overall it will take you nearly 5 or less minutes on setup. The fingerprint and faceID alone take less than 1 minute.
After setup, you notice the phone comes with the usual pre-installed apps. But Tecno adds WhatsApp, Facebook, Instagram as the pre-installed apps.
With internet connections available either by Wi-Fi or mobile data, head to Playstore to update apps of your choice. It is recommended to update the apps for better user experience.
