Tecno launched the Spark 9 series in early June starting with the Spark 9 Pro and following a few weeks later with the Spark 9T. Now comes the cheaper version of the two, although they may not be available in overlapping markets as the vanilla model is launched in India.

Like the 9T, the Tecno Spark 9 is powered by the Helio G37. There are three memory configurations: 3/64 GB, 4/64 GB and 6/128 GB. A microSD slot is available for more storage, and there’s also a virtual RAM option. The phone runs Android 12 and 8.6 out of the box.
The screen is the same: a 6.6 “IPS LCD with 90 Hz refresh rate and 180 Hz touch sample rate. It has a resolution of 720 x 1,600 px (20: 9). Inside is a 8MP camera (a downgrade from the 9T’s 32MP camera).
The rear cameras are basically the same: there is a 13MP main cam and a secondary module (its function is unclear, probably a depth sensor). The fingerprint reader is also on the bump of the camera (instead of being mounted on the side).
Going forward, the battery capacity is the same with a capacity of 5,000mAh. The phone comes with a charger and cable in the retail box, as well as a protective TPU case. Note the other downgrade compared to the T-phone, this one uses microUSB instead of USB-C. On the plus side, the 3.5mm headphone jack is still on board.
The Tecno Spark 9 has a starting price of ₹ 9,500, which converts to around $ 120. The Spark 9T is not (yet) available in India, but in Nigeria it started with the equivalent of $ 190. The Spark 9 will be in sale on Amazon India on July 23 (Saturday).
