The front-facing camera on the SPARK 10 series boasts 32 megapixels and utilizes TECNO’s 4-in-1 HW Remosaic technology to increase pixel sensitivity by 400%. This technology combines small 0.8um pixels into larger 1.6um pixels, resulting in clear and detailed photos.
Both the front and rear cameras feature dual soft lights, with an adjustable intensity of three levels to accommodate different lighting conditions. TECNO’s Super Flashlight Algorithm ensures that overexposed photos are immediately corrected, creating a balanced brightness between the subject and background, and avoiding any glare from the built-in 10 Lux soft light.
