Tecno, the Transisson subsidiary has launched the latest midrange phone in Nepal. It’s the Spark 20C which arrives with a 90Hz LCD display and a Helio G36 chipset onboard, targeted right at the budget-conscious customers. Let’s delve into the specifications, features, availability, and pricing of the Tecno Spark 10C in Nepal.
Tecno Spark 20C Overview
Design and Display
Let’s commence with the design side of things. The Tecno Spark 20C adopts an iPhone-like design on the rear, which has become quite a norm for budget Tecno phones these days. Speaking of the build, Tecno has used plastic material all around with a glass front.
On the front, there is a 6.67-inch IPS panel with an HD+ resolution and a 90Hz refresh rate, ensuring a smooth motion rate. This phone is available in four color shades: Gravity Black, Mystery White, Apenglow Gold, and a Magic Skin with a leatherback texture.

Camera
As it’s a budget phone, the optics are pretty basic here. You get a 50MP main shooter which is accompanied by a 0.3MP useless depth camera. Meanwhile, the third camera cutout doesn’t boast any lens and is a gimmick. For selfies and video calls, there is an 8MP front camera placed in the hole-punch cutout.
Performance
As for the horsepower, the Spark 20C gets it from a 12nm fabbed Helio G36 silicon. It is an octa-core processor which features four Cortex A53 cores at 2.3GHz and four Cortex A53 cores at 1.8GHz. Meanwhile, the graphics side is handled by a PowerVR GE8320 GPU here.
Speaking of the software, the phone boots on Tecno’s HiOS V13 built on top of Android 13. Likewise, it is available in a sole version with 8GB of RAM and 128GB of internal storage. You can also virtually expand the RAM by another 8GB.

Our Verdict
The Spark 20C seems a decent offering in the 15K segment with an eye-catching design and looks. The Helio G36 should offer a reliable and decent performance for normal users while you can only play basic games on it. I wish Tecno had used a Helio G85 chip here instead. Other than that, there is nothing much to complain about.
