Design
Tecno Spark 10C has a shiny futuristic design that is sure to catch your eye. It has a sturdy construction that can withstand everyday wear and tear. The device measures 163.9 x 75.5 x 8.5 mm and weighs 190g, making it comfortable to hold and use for long periods.
It features a 6.6-inch IPS LCD display with a resolution of 720 x 1612 pixels at the front panel. The screen is surrounded by thin bezels, giving you a more immersive viewing experience. This device also has a waterdrop notch at the top, which houses the front-facing camera.
Additionally, the back of the Tecno Spark 10C is made of plastic, crafted with the NCVM technique. It has a shiny, yet strong metallic finish that makes it look more premium than it actually is. The back also houses the dual-camera module positioned at the left top side and LED flash by its side. There is also the Tecno logo at the left bottom.
The buttons on the Tecno Spark 10C are well-placed and responsive, and the device has a 3.5mm headphone jack and a micro-USB port for charging and data transfer. There is also the power button which also serves as the fingerprint sensor, the volume button, and the SIM slot.
Display
The Tecno Spark 10C features a 6.6-inch IPS LCD display with a 90Hz refresh rate. This ensures that users get a clear and vibrant viewing experience. The screen-to-body ratio is approximately 84.6%, which means the display covers a significant portion of the front of the device. This is particularly useful for those who love to watch movies or TV shows on their phones.
The resolution of the display is 720 x 1612 pixels with a 20:9 aspect ratio, which results in a pixel density of about 267 pixels per inch (ppi).
Overall, the display seems similar to what we saw in the Tecno Spark 10 and Spark 10 5G. While this may not be the highest resolution on the market, it should provide decent image clarity for most everyday use cases.
Camera
For photography the Tecno Spark 10C has a dual rear camera setup consisting of a 16-megapixel main camera and a 2-megapixel depth sensor. The main camera is capable of capturing decent quality photos with good color accuracy and detail, while the depth sensor is used for bokeh or portrait mode effects.
The camera app on the Tecno Spark 10C offers a range of features, including HDR, panorama, night mode, and beauty mode. Additionally, the device is capable of recording video in 1080p resolution at 30 frames per second (fps).
On the front, there is an 8-megapixel selfie camera housed in a waterdrop notch. This camera is also capable of taking good quality selfies in well-lit conditions. It has a LED flash which features a 3-level of adjustable brightness to suit different light condition.
Furthermore, this camera has different picture mode including super portraits, that offer more targeted beautification solutions, by blurring the background to ensures that you’re always the focus. There is also the Pro mode which allows you to customize your settings for overexposure compensation, ISO, shutter speed, metering mode, white balance, and focus.
Hardware and Software
Under the hood, the Tecno Spark 10C is powered by an undisclosed octa-core processor. Some sources say it is the same Unisoc T606 chipset that we also saw in the Infinix Hot 30i and Nokia G22. Unisoc T606 processor features an octa-core CPU consisting of two Arm Cortex-A75 cores clocked at 1.8GHz and six Arm Cortex-A55 cores clocked at 1.8GHz with ARM Mali G57 MP1 GPU.
It also offers with up to 8GBGB of RAM and 128GB of internal storage. There is also a dedicated slot for expanding your built-in storage. This hardware configuration should be adequate for most everyday use cases, such as web browsing, social media, and light gaming.
The Tecno Spark Phone runs on Android with Tecno’s proprietary HiOS 8.6 skin on top. HiOS 8.6 offers a range of features and customization options, such as a dark mode, gesture navigation, and smart panel for quick access to frequently used apps. The software experience on the Tecno Spark 10C should be smooth and responsive, thanks to the combination of the chipset and 8GB of RAM.
Like the Spark 10 Pro and the rest of the Tecno Spark 10 series, this device features a 5000mAh battery, which should provide users with enough power to last through the day. It supports 18W charging and comes with a micro-USB port for charging and data transfer.
