Display
Now the Tecno Spark 8C has that sweet spot 6.6-inch display. The resolution of the display is set at 720 x 1640 pixels. I think for the price, this can be forgiven because Spark 8C has a 90Hz refresh rate. You also have the option to switch back to 60 Hz or use the auto-switch refresh rate that switches according to your usage. A higher refresh rate basically makes scrolling faster and it also makes the animation look better. Yeah, this display is IPS LCD, and it’s not the brightest outdoors.

Cameras
Now we look at the cameras. Tecno Spark 8C comes with an 8 MP, f/2.0 front-facing camera. On the back, you will notice two lenses. These are made up of a 13 MP, (wide), AF main shooter and a second VGA camera. There really isn’t much to report here. Let us just say that the main camera will be the highlight here since it does take nice pictures for the price. The trick here is, to hold your phone steady while you shoot and do not zoom in. That way you will appreciate the results better. Video recording is capped at 1080p@30fps with both the main and selfie shooter. This is impressive I must admit.

Battery
You are guaranteed a full day of usage with Tecno Spark 8C’s Li-Po 5000 mAh, non-removable battery. If you turn off the higher refresh rate, you can even extend the battery life because it significantly drains the battery. The charger in the box charges the phone from zero to a hundred in about two hours. You should expect at least seven hours of screen on time under heavy use. The battery life is okay on this phone.
