Tecno Spark 20C: Should you buy it?
The Spark 20C is competing directly with the Moto G24 Power which also starts at Rs 8,999. Sure it gets you lesser RAM but exceeds Spark 20C in almost all other aspects. It runs on Android 14 and not only offers you a near-stock Android experience which is far superior to HiOS, but also gets you a bigger 6000mAh battery. We even appreciated the Moto G24 Power during our review of the smartphone for its multimedia capabilities. It also gets you a more powerful chipset which will help in smoother daily operations.
At RS 7,299, you can also consider the Redmi A3 which has the same chipset as the Spark 20C and is offered at a lower price. However, you do miss out on RAM, Storage and charging speeds with this one as they are inferior to that of Tecno’s phone.
