The Tecno Spark 8P was launched and made available on December 14th, 2021. The smartphone follows Tecno’s basic theme: “devices should be made by blending fun and performance as efficiently and effectively as possible.”

The Tecno Spark 8P runs on Android 11 (Go edition) OS, and the company’s HIOS 7.6 helps organize the device’s icons for a better user experience.

The device runs on a CPU and chipset based on its two versions. Both versions of the CPU and chipset ensure the device’s system software runs seamlessly without fault. However, no system is perfect, and as such, there are cases of failure noticed in the stuttering of the device.

Tecno Spark 8P Specifications

Features to look out for:

Body

The Tecno Spark 8P comes in any of the following colors: Turquoise Cyan, Atlantic Blue, Iris Purple, and Tahiti Gold. These are all brilliant colors that enrich this device’s smart and aesthetic look.
The Tecno Spark 8P has a body size of 6.6 inches, 104.9 cm2 (~83.8% screen-to-body ratio). The size is duly responsible for the lightness and handiness of this device, as it fits perfectly into one’s palm.
It is built of a Glass front, plastic back, and plastic frame. Materials of build like plastic are susceptible to scratches.
It lacks the usual Corning Gorilla Glass protection that protects the device from scratches and accidental falls. However, there are many phone cases online that can improve the look of your device and also protect your device from scratches.

Sim

It is a Dual SIM (Nano-SIM, dual stand-by). It implies that it has two SIMs, one being a Nano sim and another of a dual stand-by type.
The device is a 4G LITE enabled device, making the sim follow suit in that path.

Display

It has an IPS LCD display type, which supports a resolution of about 1080 x 2408 pixels, 20:9 ratio (~400 ppi density). The IPS LCD display type is not the best in the market’s place, as they are reported to sometimes produce contrasting light. However, the Tecno Spark 8P has a better display type and resolution than the Tecno Spark 8 in its series, with a resolution of 720 x 1600 pixels, 20:9 ratio (~269 ppi density).

The large screen type featuring a body size of 6.6 inches, 104.9 cm2 (~83.8% screen-to-body ratio) is a selling point for this device. As the device and screen become larger, it leads to a corresponding display size and ratio increase.

Memory

It has internal storage memory and RAM capacities of 64GB 4GB RAM, 128GB 4GB RAM, or 256GB 4GB RAM. The starting internal memory capacity alone levels up with the best of the Tecno Spark 8, making the Tecno Spark 8P run many appsnjust fine. A port supports the internal memory for slotting an external storage card to augment the memory space.

Camera

It has a triple camera at its rear with mid-capacity. The triple camera has specs of 50 MP, f/1.6, (wide), PDAF, 2 MP, f/2.4, (depth), and VGA, f/2.0. The specification for this camera makes it better than that of the Tecno Spark 8 in its series; however, it doesn’t support shooting under a low light sensor too.
The rear camera has a video capacity of 1080p@30fps, which is similar to the qualities of some high-end devices.
It has a Quad-LED flash, HDR flash that brightens or increases the surrounding light. The feature elevates imaging quality at nighttime by improving the overall resolution.
It has a single selfie camera with 8 MP, f/2.0, 26mm (wide) capacity that also enables a DUAL-LED flash, improving the resolution. Plus, the selfie camera supports video to about 1080p@30fps, which means the same quality for both the selfie and rear camera.

Platform

The Tecno Spark 8P is built on an OS of Android 11 (Go edition), HIOS 7.6, and also runs on two different chipsets of Mediatek MT6769V Helio G70 (12 nm) for Version 1 and Mediatek MT6762D Helio P22 (12 nm) for Version 2. These chipsets enable effective performance of the device in terms of refresh rates as users navigate several mobile apps.
It has a GPU of Mali-G52 2EEMC2 for Version 1 and PowerVR GE8320 for Version 2. These enable quality graphics and a better gaming experience. The device plays games efficiently since it has better RAM, but the chipsets are low to carry games designed for high-end devices.
The CPU of Octa-core (2×2.0 GHz Cortex-A75 & 6×1.7 GHz Cortex-A55) for Version 1 and Octa-core (4×1.8 GHz Cortex-A53 & 4×1.5 GHz Cortex-A53) for Version 2 also enable the seamless and effective workings of the sensors, such as that of the fingerprint mounted at the rear, accelerometer, and proximity.
They also enable the browser to work efficiently and effectively with the new HTML5 language and other languages fully integrated into the web.

Sound

It is a loudspeaker-enabled device with dual speakers.
It also features a 3.5mm jack, enabling you to listen to music while charging. The feature is gradually becoming a thing of the past as manufacturers try to re-innovate. Manufacturers now go without the 3.5mm jack, forcing users to use ear pods instead.

Battery

It has a solid battery life, with a battery type of Li-Po 5000 mAh, non-removable, that enables fast charging with a 10W wired cable.
The charging type is micro USB 2.0, OTG, a slow charging type cable far from the current trends of USB cords. This type of USB cord may be poor for a smartphone device in 21-11-2024.

I currently use this device and it’s one of the best Tecno smartphone I’ve used. The only flaw here is the mic quality. Aside from that every other thing is perfect. It even came with 50 MP camera, and you have option to upgrade your 4GB ram to 5GB ram with your rom – @arthurchinonyerem3740
