Tecno Spark 7T

The Tecno Spark 7T is an upgraded version of the Tecno Spark 7, available at 22,499 PKR price in Pakistan. It features an entry-level gaming chipset and offers decent specifications for its camera, display, and other aspects.

Price and Variants in Pakistan

The Tecno Spark 7T comes in two storage variants. The base variant offers 4GB RAM and 64GB storage at a price of Rs 22,499/-, while the top variant with 4GB RAM and 128GB storage is priced at Rs 26,600/-. Also, you can choose between Magnet Black and Jewel Blue color variants.

Design and Build

The design of the Tecno Spark 7T is similar to the Spark 7, featuring a waterdrop-shaped notch, sized bezels, and a plastic frame and back panel. The back panel has a matte-like appearance with diagonal lines passing through it, offering a distinctive and attractive look. The device also includes a rear-mounted fingerprint scanner for easy access.

Display

The phone sports a 6.52-inch IPS LCD panel with a 720x1600 pixels resolution and a 269 PPI density. While it is not an OLED panel, it offers sufficient brightness at 480 nits, making it viewable even in daylight. The 720p resolution results in lower clarity compared to an FHD+ panel, but the 20:9 aspect ratio enhances multimedia and gaming experience.

Performance

The Tecno Spark 7T is equipped with a MediaTek Helio G35 SoC, featuring an octa-core arrangement with 4x 2.3GHz Cortex-A53 big cores and 4x 1.8GHz Cortex-A53 small cores. The performance is optimized, and the phone handles day-to-day tasks smoothly. It can run 2D and casual games without any issues, but high-graphics titles like PUBG Mobile and COD Mobile may require lower settings for smooth gameplay.

Camera

The phone offers a 48MP primary AF camera at the back, along with a 2MP decorative sensor. The selfie shooter is an 8MP sensor with dual-LED flash. Daylight photos from the primary camera have good dynamic range and pleasing colors.

However, the decorative sensor has limited functionality, and selfies may have some overexposure in the background.

Battery

The device boasts a massive 6,000 mAh battery, offering long-lasting battery life. With moderate usage, the phone can easily last a day and a half. However, the charging speed is limited to 10W, taking about three and a half hours to fully charge the battery.

Audio, Connectivity, and Biometrics

The phone lacks a bottom-firing loudspeaker but features a front-firing speaker that also serves as an earpiece. The sound quality is decent but not exceptional. In terms of connectivity, the Tecno Spark 7T includes Bluetooth, Wi-Fi 802.11n, GPS, a micro USB 2.0 port, and a 3.5mm headphone jack. It supports 4G LTE bands with VoLTE and VoWiFi capabilities. Biometric options include a rear-mounted fingerprint scanner and software-based 2D Face Unlock.

Conclusion

The Tecno Spark 7T is an affordable entry-level phone with good specifications and battery life. It is a suitable choice for those on a tight budget or new to smartphones, offering decent performance and camera capabilities. However, users seeking premium features like Gorilla Glass protection and fast charging may need to consider other options.
