Tecno recently launched the Spark 20C in South Africa, targeting the budget smartphone market under R3,000 (around $180 USD). This phone joins the ranks of various options available in this price range.
Specs and Features
The Spark 20C features a 5,000mAh battery with 18W fast charging and a 6.6-inch HD+ IPS LCD display with a 90Hz refresh rate. It boasts a dual-speaker DTS setup for enhanced sound compared to its predecessor.
The rear camera system features a significant upgrade with a 50MP main sensor and a secondary 0.08MP lens. The front-facing camera comes in at 8MP. Tecno offers limited information about the processor, only mentioning it’s an octa-core 2.2Ghz chip (reportedly MediaTek with a Cortex-A53 CPU). The phone includes 128GB of storage.
Price and Availability
The Tecno Spark 20C is currently available at Edgars stores in South Africa for under R3,000 until the end of May 2024. The price is expected to increase to R3,850 (around $230 USD) after the promotional period.
Considerations for Potential Buyers
If you prioritize a large battery, a smooth display, and an improved camera system within a budget of R3,000, the Tecno Spark 20C may be worth considering, particularly during the limited-time offer. However, the lack of transparency about the processor and potential upcoming price increase might be factors to keep in mind when making your decision.
