TECNO launched the TECNO SPARK 8 in India in September. A new memory variant of the handset was introduced earlier this month. Just a few days later, the smartphone gets yet another memory configuration.

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.

Transsion Holdings subsidiary Tecno Mobile has got a stronghold on the Nigerian market due to its towering reputation of offering decent smartphones at a highly affordable price tag. So it shouldn’t be a surprise if we tell you that the Chinese company has silently unveiled the Spark 8 smartphone in Nigeria.

Tecno Spark 8 is the successor to the Spark 7 that was launched in April this year packing an Helio A25 chipset. The device is a budget smartphone with entry-level specs. The new Spark 8 features an improved Helio P22 chipset paired with 2GB of RAM and 64GB of internal storage.

On the design aspect, the Spark 8 sports a 6.5-inch IPS LCD screen with an HD+ resolution of 1600 X 720 pixels. This display utilizes a waterdrop notch design which houses the 8-megapixels selfie camera. At the rear, the device features a refreshed design that includes an abnormally wide square module. The module not only houses a dual-camera setup and quad-Led flash, it also holds the rear fingerprint sensor.  The extra space can fit four more camera sensors of the same size, pun intended.

The dual-camera setup consists of a 16-megapixels main sensor and a QVGA lens. The device also avails users the opportunity to expand the storage via a microSD card slot. It runs on the Android 11 Go edition. Keeping the lights on is a massive 5000mAh battery with support for 10W charging via a micro USB port.

As for the price, the Tecno Spark 8 is reportedly on sale in Nigeria for 55,000 Nigerian Naira (about $130). We have no idea when Tecno will release this model in other markets but we expect it to launch in India soon, going by precedence.
