Giving the power to the phone is a mammoth 6,000 mAh Li-Po non-removable battery. This power should be enough to have a standby time for up to 30 days. The battery backup can be great for YouTube streaming, watching your favourite movies, and gaming as it should provide a substantial amount of power without worrying about charging.

Storage, connectivity and other features

Tecno Spark 7T only has a single variant at the moment. The 4GB RAM variant comes with 64GB of internal storage. The memory of the phone can be expanded with a MicroSD card by up to 264GB.

The phone has a dual-sim setup and also supports Wi-FI 802.11 b/g/n. There is also Bluetooth connectivity, FM Radio and micro USB 2.0 for further connectivity. For audio, it has both loudspeaker and a 3.5mm headphone jack.

Tecno Spark 7T also has plenty of features for the users. It has a Bluetooth Audio Share 2.0 for instantly sharing your audio and the Inervation app to create movies out of your photo. There is also an inbuilt voice changer app on the phone that you can use for fun. For security, there is a peek proof mode on the mode that will prevent people from peeking on your phone’s display when you are using it. The phone also offers a customised app lock feature, with which you can lock any app of your choice. The phone also includes a child mode to limit their use of content.

The price of Tecno Spark 7T is Rs 16,490.
