There you will find a pleasant relief, which contributes to the feeling of stability when working with Tecno Spark 8C. The body is a combination of glass at the front and plastic at the back. The large block of cameras on the rear panel makes a pleasant impression, it protrudes slightly above the surface.
On the front we see a satisfactorily large display surrounded by thin side frames. The fingerprint scanner is mounted on the side.
