Hi everyone, today I want to share a little bit about the camera on this new phone I bought—the Tecno Spark 40C. I knew going in that the camera wasn’t its strong suit, but I’m one of those people who thinks you don’t need a top-of-the-line camera to take good photos. Even though I’m still figuring out how to use this new camera, it hasn’t been easy.

The photos come out pretty well in bright light—especially in daylight—but in dimmer settings, the quality is pretty poor; the colors are a bit desaturated, and the texture of objects looks very “HDR”-like even though that option isn’t enabled.

This phone has a 13MP rear camera and an 8MP front camera. As I mentioned… the colors look a little dull; I really noticed it when I took pictures of my kitten. On my old phone, the photos always came out pretty sharp and with good color… However, I think it looks pretty good, and maybe with the right settings I could take a much better photo.




And even though the quality drops significantly in dimly lit areas, I managed to take some photos I really liked of my kitten looking toward the sun using PRO mode—which I only discovered after taking photos for a while, haha, I hadn’t even noticed it. It also has an AI camera option that takes four photos and changes your hairstyle and outfit, but it’s pretty weird—it puts other people’s faces on you.



Capturing sunsets is what I love most, and I tried it yesterday at sunset. The thing is, I didn't really like the composition, and besides, the sky had a faint pink glow at the edge that didn't show up very well on this camera.

And finally, the selfie camera—which I actually really liked—takes even better photos than my old phone. Although, as you can see in that photo, the background blurs in portrait mode, but sometimes it doesn’t completely cover the entire background, so you end up with a weird smudge. Still, I thought it was good for the price, considering it’s not meant to be a high-end phone… That said, my Xiaomi phone still turns on every now and then, haha, and I’ll use it when I need very specific photos since its camera is unbeatable.
