Tecno Spark 8 launched in Nigeria with 5000mAh battery - Full specifications and price

Tecno's entry-level smartphone lineup has just gotten a new addition which is the new Tecno Spark 8. The launch event of the smartphone took place just a few days ago and just like other devices in this series, this is a budget friendly smartphone for those who needs a cheap Android phone.

The latest Tecno Spark 8 features a 6.5-inch IPS LCD display with HD+ resolution of 1600 X 720px. The display also has a waterdrop notch which houses the 8MP selfie cam.

The Spark 8 is powered by Mediatek's low end Helio P22 chipset coupled with a 2GB RAM and 64GB internal storage which is expandable through the sdcard slot. Out of the box, the phone runs on Tecno's HiOS 7.6 custom Android skin which is based on the latest Android 11 Go edition.

At the back of the phone is a dual-camera setup which consists of a 16-megapixels main sensor and a QVGA lens. It also features a rear mounted fingerprint scanner.

The main highlight of the phone is the pretty large 5000mAh battery. This is accompanied by a rather slow 10W wired charging which charges through the outdated micro USB port.

As for availability and pricing, the Tecno Spark 8 has already launched in Nigeria with a green colour option at a starting price of $130 which is around N55,000. It is expected to launch in India and other regions soon.
