Tecno Spark 30C 5G: Should you buy it?
The Spark 30C 5G looks like a rebranded Pop 9 5G smartphone which the brand launched earlier in September. However, the Pop 9 5G is priced starting at Rs 9,499 which saves you 500 bucks on both the variants of the handset.
If you want to steer away from Tecno, you could consider the Samsung Galaxy M15 5G for Rs 10,999, where you would get a inferior chipset, but you are offered a better camera setup, a bigger battery, a more polished software experience where you are offered 4 years of OS updates, and a superior Super AMOLED display.
Overall, we’d say you should skip the Tecno Spark 30C 5G and explore other options in the market, including those from Tecno itself, and other brands like Samsung and Motorola.
