Unboxing the Tecno Spark 9T

The Tecno Spark 9T was recently launched in the Indian market, aimed at budget-conscious smartphone buyers. Let’s take a closer look at what this affordable smartphone has to offer.

Design and Display

Held in the hand, the Spark 9T feels solidly built with its glass front and plastic back. It has a 6.6-inch LCD screen with Full HD+ resolution, giving crisp images and text. The 83.8% screen-to-body ratio means you get an immersive view without a distracting notch or punch hole.

At just 8.9mm thick and 164.5mm tall, it fits comfortably in most palms. The dual-tone color options like Turquoise Cyan and Atlantic Blue look stylish too.

Hardware and Performance

Under the hood is a MediaTek Helio G35 chipset paired with 4GB of RAM. This provides decent everyday performance for basic tasks like messaging, social media and streaming. While not a powerhouse, casual games should run smoothly on lower settings.

Storage comes in at a generous 64GB which is further expandable via the microSD card slot. There’s also the convenience of dual SIM support.

Cameras

For photos, the triple rear camera setup includes a 50MP main sensor along with 2MP depth and 0.3MP macros lenses. Selfies are handled by the 8MP front camera. Image quality is acceptable for the price range with details captured in good lighting.

Battery Life

A large 5000mAh battery promises reliable all-day life on a single charge. The 18W fast charging also ensures topping up won’t take long when needed.

Verdict

Priced around 300,000 Naira, the Tecno Spark 9T offers good value for basic users on a budget. The big screen, generous memory and lengthy battery life make it a decent daily driver. While not the fastest, performance should meet casual needs. An attractive option worth considering.
