The Tecno Spark 7P really performs well when it comes to simple offline and online games. Although the Tecno Spark 7P does not have the gyroscope sensor, it is a good budget gaming device. In the video embedded below, I played 3 games namely Traffic Rider, Asphalt 9 and PUBG where I got a chicken dinner. The Tecno Spark 7P relevant gaming specs are 6.8 Inch/172mm screen with 90Hz refresh rate, 4GB RAM, 128GB ROM and 5000mAh battery. The screen resolution is 720X1640.

Video Review
The following video better explains my thoughts on the Tecno Spark 7P gaming performance.
Gyroscope
The gyroscope sensor is not available on the Tecno Spark 7P. The previous Spark device, the Spark 5 Pro also did not have the gyroscope sensor. However that didn’t stop me from getting a Chicken dinner in the PUBG game in the video above.
90Hz Refresh Rate & FPS
The biggest upgrade in the Spark 7Pis the refresh rate. The 90Hz refresh rate is enough on this budget smartphone for some serious gaming and you’ll see why as you read on.
As for the frame rate, the highest frames per second that I could record on the AZ screen recorder is 59fps. That’s why I made my gaming performance video above into a 60fps video.
PUBG
Since the Spark 7P has a 90Hz refresh rate, I could get HD graphics and High frame rate on PUBG graphics settings. If you remember the Spark 5 Pro only had smooth graphics and medium frame rate.
Game Mode
The game mode feature accelerates the memory and network and boosts the CPU and GPU as well. The game mode feature in the background while playing heavy games like Call of Duty and PUBG.
The game mode user interface is in the form of a panel known as the game mode panel. This can be accessed by swiping it from the left of the screen.
These are the settings of the game mode panel
- Magic button setting
- Incoming call reject
- Messages do not disturb
- Screenshot
- Screen recording
- Memory cleaning
The screen recording feature activates the internal screen recorder which I have one problem with, audio recording. This is because it picks audio from both the game and the microphone. The result is background noise filled footage.
For this reason, I use the AZ screen recording app for my videos.
Audio
The Spark 7P has dual audio speakers that have very immersive sound. Although the best gaming scenario is using headsets, the different sound levels for different gaming scenes is noticeable in the dual speakers that are also sufficiently loud.
Battery & Overheating
The big 5000mAh battery capacity is why I would recommend the Spark 7P as a budget friendly device. For example, while gaming on modest screen brightness settings you can play games continuously for 5 hours for resource demanding games like PUBG and Call Of Duty.
Charing the battery using the provided 10 Wat cahrger takes about 2 and a half hours.
As for overheating, I never experienced it. I can only describe is as a small rise in temperature. For instance, in my gaming session of around two and a half hours, I drained the battery from 71% to 51% while the temperature rose from 27° Celsius to 36° Celsius.
Verdict
The Tecno Spark 7P is a good budget gaming device. Browse the latest Spark 7P prices here.
