NeoTeo's verdict
Which of the two is the better buy
The Tecno Spark Slim is the more complete choice: its 4500-nit AMOLED display and 45 W charging set it apart from the Tecno Spark 8, though the latter has wireless charging.
The Slim also leads in performance, with a MediaTek Helio G200 and 445 000 AnTuTu points against the Spark 8’s Helio P22 and 86 500. Its 8 GB of RAM doubles the rival’s 4 GB. It is also thinner and lighter: 5.9 mm and 156 g versus 9.2 mm and 200 g.
For cameras, the Slim has a 50 MP main camera and a 13 MP selfie camera, against the Spark 8’s 16 MP and 8 MP. The Spark 8 only has the edge in rear flash, with Quad LED versus the Slim’s Dual LED. The Slim also has the larger battery and faster charging: 5160 mAh and 45 W versus 5000 mAh and 10 W. The Spark 8 is only the better buy if it costs less.
Tecno Spark Slim
The Tecno Spark Slim suits buyers looking for a 4500-nit AMOLED display, 8 GB of RAM, and 45 W charging.
Tecno Spark 8
The Tecno Spark 8 is only the better buy if it costs less; wireless charging does not offset the Slim’s stronger display and faster charging.
