Inside the Box and its Accessories

This review was done after one week of using the device and hopefully after reading this article, you would know if the Spark 8P is worth the money and if it ticks all the right boxes for your next desired phone.

Design and Build Quality

TECNO Spark 8P is expected to come in four colour options; Turquoise Cyan, Atlantic Blue, iris Purple and Tahiti Gold colours. I bought the Cocoa Gold colour and it is beautiful. The mixture of two different colours makes it iconic. The phone comes with a super shiny and attractive back design which reflects light while facing the sun. Tecno Spark 8P is quite comfortable to use and fits into the hand easily.

Tecno really tried with the back design of the Spark 8P. On one side is the slot for SIM card SIM card featuring two Nano-SIMs and microSD card while the other side has the volume button controls and power button which also serves as the side fingerprint unlock. At the bottom is the speaker grill, microphone, 3.5m audio jack and the micro USB 2.0 port.

Display

Tecno Spark 8P display has a 6.6″ FHD+ Dot notch screen display and 1080 x 2408 pixels resolution for an immersive viewing experience. The smartphone has a punch-hole panel with an 8MP selfie camera.

Camera

The TECNO Spark 8P brings a 50MP triple rear camera system and a punch-hole panel with an 8MP front-facing camera with Led flash light which is very helpful for taking selfies night. The triple rear camera system features a 50MP AI camera sensor, 2MP portrait lens and 0.8MP AI lens for clearer and sharper picture quality. It also features AI beauty 4.0, HDR mode to take clear pictures in places the light is not too good, portrait bokeh, 1080P time-lapse photography which creates a video that shows the movement towards your environment and 120FPS Slow Motion.

Camera Performance of the TECNO Spark 8P

I really liked the overall camera experience on the rear of the Tecno Spark 8P. It is an entry-level flagship and offers a 50MP AI camera sensor which shoot very good photos which was what my friend needed. But the selfie camera needs improvement as picture quality is low and we all need the front facing camera for video calls, group selfie with friends and so on.

TECNO Spark 8P costs just 77,000 naira ($187) which is slightly expensive for an entry level device.

Nice work brother. But that is not USB Type-C Port. It micro USB 2.0.

*Spoiler: If you own Spark 7P, don't you dare waste your money on this Spark 8p. So many downgrades; aside giving us Helio G35 instead of Helio G70 on the 7P (Mind you; Asian model of Spark 8P has Helio G70), the screen also got downgraded from 90Hz to 60Hz. So stay with the Spark 7P, it is 71K currently.

Seriously, I'm tired of Transion's deceitful marketing gimmicks, a gimmick that is succeeding only in Africa because nobody is willing to say anything about it. It been a very long time I post article on Nairaland, but in the coming days, I'll publish an article on here, just for educating purpose; seriously, guys open your eyes!

Lol, you guys put helio g35 here in the spark 8t but comfortably forgot to add the chipset in the spark 8

The marketing gimmicks of tecno,infinix and itel just surprises me. Very deceitful set of people

thank God people are getting wiser by the day to see the con artist transsion brand is

if i talk, they will tag me xiaomi marketer,

many of them here are tech illiterates though,

now these same tech illiterates are currently using the spark 7p which is having helio G70 (low midrange chip) which they bought for 69k

and now that the spark 8p is out, these same dumbos would wanna upgrade to the latest, and bam they buy the spark8p (with an entry level budget chip) for 77k

what a downgrade?

what a rip off?

tech illiterates that buys tecno and infinix devices and shun advice, remains the "GREATEST MUGU" but do you wanna know what pains me the most?

they dont even know that they are the greatest mugu.

Pawns in a game that they don't even know is been played

nothing is deceitful there, they have told you the specs of the phone so you already know what you are buying plus many people out there will buy that phone just for the design alone

Self-defense keep quiet sir

i like how you dropped the pros and cons

Nice device, I think the major upgrade is in the rear cameras

Spark series are gradually becoming a battery phone

paduzman:
Nice device, I think the major upgrade is in the rear cameras

battery too I guess

The Nigerian model of the Tecno Spark 8P comes with an octa-core Mediatek Helio G35 processor under the hood. The Asian model of the smartphone has a Helio G70 which is a slightly better option than this one.

thats true. Though such a stunning finished phone that comes with a solid mediatek processor. Tecno Spark 8p is a really wonderful launch.

Nice review... and its also nice that they are considering good camera level for spark series too and still maintaining moderate price range
