Preface

Tecno Spark 8P price in Kenya is Ksh 17,000. The Tecno Spark 8P brings competitive pricing to significantly cheaper options, with a budget performance device, an immersive 6.6. IPS LCD screen, a primary 50MP camera, 10W fast charging, a massive battery at 5000mAh, and a refreshed MediaTek Helio G70 chipset. It comes off as a beautiful yet budget device, with a promise of a great value proposition.

Design

The Tecno Spark 8P comes with a 6.6-inch IPS LCD screen with a drop-down notch for the selfie camera. It’s a massive screen, hardly a one-handed operation, with a screen-to-body ratio of 83.8%. It has an aspect ratio of 20:9 and supports HDR which makes it an absolute delight to consume media with.

It has a plastic frame and back and a Corning Gorilla Glass front panel. It is very bright and vivid, peaking at 500 nits. It has a headphone jack, fortunately. It has a physical fast fingerprint sensor, conveniently placed on its side, integrated into the power button. It has a mono speaker whose sound is surprisingly clear when playing media.

Performance

The Tecno Spark 8P brings in the heat with the latest generation budget Mediatek MT6769V Helio G70 chipset, making it quite fast and fairly competent for gaming. It has a Cortex Octa-core CPU paired with a Mali G52 MC2 GPU, with storage options of 4 GB for RAM & 64/128/256 GB for ROM.

It has an expandable memory option with a dedicated slot. It’s running the latest Android 11 with a HIOS skin on top, the performance feels quite fast and premium. HIOS is rich in customizations, numerous themes, and alterations. No lags or slow transitions on this one. Everything feels snappy, fluid, and rich in color.

Cameras

The Tecno Spark 8P has a triple camera arrangement on the back. It comes with a decent 50 MP primary sensor for those excellent daylight photos. It has no ultra-wide but an extra 2MP macro lens for those nice, close-up photos and a VGA depth sensor. The video can support up to 1080p video at 30 fps, with HDR support. The selfie camera is a generous 8MP wide sensor, capable of 1080p video at 30fps. The selfies are great and well-lit.

Other features

We can’t fail to mention the charging speeds in the Tecno Spark 8P. At 10W fast charging, the phone can get fully charged in about a little over one and half hours. That’s passable by all standards. That is in addition to the fact that it also comes with a massive Li-Po 5000mAh non-removable battery. This should be more than enough even for the power. In this case, it’s a little obvious that is no wireless charging here.

It comes in Turquoise Cyan, Atlantic Blue, Iris Purple, and Tahiti Gold
