The Indian smartphone space is getting competitive even in the times of coronavirus pandemic as there is no rest for OEMs and there's demand for budget smartphones in the market. With brands like Xiaomi, Realme, Oppo, Samsung and others dominating the affordable and mid-range segment, another new entrant is making its presence felt with a competitive product.

Tecno Spark Power 2 has arrived with a favourable sub-Rs 10,000 price tag while offering interesting specifications. From quad rear cameras to marathon battery and more, Tecno is out to make a difference.
