Tecno has released a new budget smartphone. The company has unveiled the Tecno Spark 8C, the company’s fifth smartphone in the series. It first announced the Spark 8 in September 2021, followed by the Spark 8P, 8 Pro, and Spark 8T.
Tecno’s new budget smartphone comes with features like a 90Hz display, dual camera setup, etc. While we wait for the official launch date, let’s take a look at the Tecno 8C’s specs, features, and other details.
Tecno Spark 8C RAM and Storage
For now, Tecno has not announced pricing details for the 8C. Your phone’s RAM and storage settings have been confirmed. It has a base variant with 2 GB of RAM. The 3GB RAM variant comes with 64GB of internal storage.
We can expect the phone to be available for less than $135 after its launch. The device is available in four colors – gray, purple, black and blue.
Specifications and features
The Spark 8C features a 6.6-inch display with HD+ resolution of 720 x 1612 pixels. Since this is a budget offering, the device does not have an AMOLED display, but instead comes with an LCD display. It has a waterdrop notch at the top center for an 8-megapixel front camera. The device also supports 90Hz refresh rate.
On the rear panel is a rectangular camera block that houses a dual camera setup. The main camera has a 13-megapixel sensor with f/1.8 aperture. It works in tandem with an AI lens. The camera module also houses an LED flash. The rear camera system has features such as HDR mode, AR stickers, time-lapse mode, AI scene recognition, bokeh mode, etc.
Next to the camera sensors is a rear-mounted fingerprint scanner. The phone also supports AI face unlock. Under the cover is a 5000 mAh battery. Support for fast charging is out of the question. So we can expect the phone to support 10W charging out of the box. For storage expansion, the device comes with support for a microSD card.
Details about the processor are not yet known. However, it is assumed that the phone uses the Unisoc T610 chipset. The same chipset is used in Realme C21Y, C25Y, Moto E40, etc.
