Last week, it was reported that Transsion Holdings subsidiary Tecno Mobile had silently unveiled the Spark 8 smartphone in Nigeria. Just like we predicted, the next destination for the smartphone will be India. GSMArena quotes an unidentified source as disclosing that the budget smartphone will be unveiled in India next week. Apparently, the source didn’t disclose the exact date for the launch next week.
The Spark 8 is a budget phone located at the bottom end of the spectrum making it a pocket-friendly option for those low on cash. The specs lineup is anything but inspiring. The device is powered by an Helio P22 chipset paired with 2GB of RAM and there is 64GB of internal storage onboard.
The budget phone features a 6.5-inch waterdrop notch IPS LCD screen with 1600 X 720 pixels resolution. The rear design includes a wide square camera module housing a dual-camera setup, LED flash, and fingerprint sensor. The camera includes a 16MP main shooter and a QVGA sensor. The front notch houses an 8MP sensor.
The phone runs HiOS 7.6 based on Android 11 Go Edition from the go. It also crams a 5000mAh battery under the hood with support for 10W charging via a microSD port.
The phone sells for around $130 but we expect the India price to be lower.
