The Tecno Spark 8 has debuted in India as the successor to the Tecno Spark 7 series, which was launched earlier this year. In terms of specifications, the new Spark 8 is similar to the predecessor as both the smartphones sport dual rear cameras, 6.5-inch HD+ display and 8-megapixel camera. The new phone comes in three color options and is designed for entry-level smartphone users.

In terms of specifications, the Tecno Spark 8 flaunts a 6.52-inch HD+ display with a waterdrop-style notch for the selfie camera and 120Hz touch response rate for smooth operation. The screen has a fairly noticeable chin. Under the hood, it reportedly comes with MediaTek A25 SoC with 2GB of RAM and 64GB of onboard storage that can be expanded up to 256GB via a dedicated microSD card slot. It runs on HiOS 7.6 based on Android 11 (Go Edition) which is designed for smartphones with low RAM storage. The dual rear cameras come inside a square-shaped camera module that adopts the same color scheme as the smartphone but with a more glossy finish. Notably, the camera module also houses a fingerprint scanner for biometric security and quad flash. The rear camera system houses a 16-megapixel primary and secondary camera sensor. On the front, there is an 8-megapixel sensor for selfie and video calling. The camera app of Tecno Spark 8 comes pre-loaded with modes like 1080p time-lapse photography, smile capture, panorama, portrait mode, 120fps slow motion and more.
