Tecno Spark 8 Pro key Features:

Design and Build Quality

The design of the Tecno Spark 8 pro is definitely one of its strongest outfits. Even though the phone sports a plastic body all around, it still looks and feels premium in the hand. The back of the phone features dual-tone plastic which gives it a unique look. The camera module is tucked into a wide glossy panel which gives the striking dual-tone look of the back.

At 0.36-inch thickness, the phone is comparatively on the bulkier side. However, that ensures a solid build without any flex anywhere. Even though the phone is a plastic-built one. The volume rocker and the power button are on the same right side of the phone.

Display

The display is one of the main selling points of the Tecno Spark 8 pro. The front features a 6.8-inch IPS LCD capacitive display. The display comes in a full HD plus resolution with a 395 ppi density. It also supports a wide color gamut at 16M colors.

Since the device is quite long, Tecno opted for the 20:9 aspect ratio with this device. There is a punch hole for the front-facing camera on the top middle. The hole is a bit large compared to the competitors in the market but that’s just how things are with budget smartphones.

Camera

Tecno Spark 8 Pro features a triple camera module on the back. The primary sensor is a 48 MP, f/1.8, PDAF wide-angle lens. In addition to that, there is a 2 MP f/2.4 portrait lens. However, it mainly acts as a depth sensor for portrait shots. The phone also features an additional AI lens with an f/2.0 aperture.

The main camera can record at 4K at 30 fps which is decent enough considering the budget offering. The outdoor photos come out bright and crisp with proper lighting. However, things start to get grainy indoors in a dimly lit environment. For the price, the main camera takes decent photos which are nothing out of the ordinary.

Processor and Performance

Tecno Spark 8 Pro features a MediaTek Helio G85 processor based on a 12 Nm processor. For a more convenient understanding, it is equivalent to the Snapdragon 730G variant. The CPU runs on an Octa-core setup with a 2 2.0 GHz Cortex A-75 processor and 6 1.8 GHz Cortex-A55 processor. The octa-core design with two intensive cores makes the device good enough to run day-to-day tasks smoothly.

The GPU is the Mali-G52 MC2. The GPU is good enough for gaming on a budget. It can run some intensive games like Asphalt and PUBG pretty well. Though the phone gets hot after a bit of heavy use.

The phone comes with a 64 GB internal ROM as well as 6 GB of RAM. The internal storage might feel low by 2021 standards. But the added SD card slot makes life easier.

Battery and Charge Time

The phone features a non-removable 5000 mAh Li-Po battery. Tecno has been pushing out 5000 mAh battery constantly on their devices which makes them a reliable choice for long battery life.
