Tecno Mobile’s latest smartphone launch happened in Nigeria, where the brand introduced its Spark 8 handset. Spark 8 brings a 6.5-inch IPS LCD with HD+ resolution and a waterdrop notch for its 8MP selfie cam.
The back houses an unusually large square cutout with a 16MP main cam and a QVGA secondary lens alongside the LED flash module and fingerprint scanner.

There’s a MediaTek Helio P22 chipset under the hood with 2GB RAM and 64GB onboard storage. The phone boots Tecno’s HiOS 7.6 on top of Android 11 Go edition. A 5,000 mAh battery powers the show though it only charges at a rate of 10W over the dated MicroUSB standard.

Tecno Spark 8 comes in green and retails for NGN 50,000 (about $130). The phone is already on sale in Nigeria and will likely come to more regions over the coming weeks.
