From the front, it's difficult to tell apart Infinix Hot 10T (X689C) and Tecno Spark 7P (KF7J). Because both of them feature an identical 6.82-inch drop-notch displays. Both of these screens also support 90Hz (higher) refresh rate. In addition to their identical 90Hz displays, each of these phones also has an 8-megapixel front-facing camera.

However, the back of the Tecno Spark 7P is more attractive than that of the Infinix Hot 10T. And this is as a result of the Tecno phone's better looking camera bump.

Also, despite that both phones feature triple-lens back cameras, the primary back camera of the Hot 10T is fitted with a 48-megapixel sensor, but that of the Spark 7P comes with a 16-megapixel sensor. In short, Tecno Spark 7P has a prettier back cover while Infinix Hot 10T has a better primary back camera.

Under the hood, Tecno Spark 7P packed the same hardware as the Infinix Hot 10T. Both of them are powered by the Helio G70 processor and they have 4GB of RAM each. Each of them also come with two storage options of either 64GB or 128GB. Both of them are also equipped with 5000mAh batteries, and they both lack support for fast charging.

Furthermore, both Spark 7P and Hot 10T are running on the Android 11 OS, alongside their individual's custom UI.

Other identical features of these phones include rear-mounted fingerprint reader, microUSB port, 3.5mm audio jack and so on.

Main Advantage Of The Hot 10T Over Spark 7:

-Higher 48-megapixel primary back camera.

Main Advatange Of The Spark 7P Over Hot 10T:

-Dual Or Stereo Speaker.

-Better Looking Back Cover.

Price And Design Colours:

The price of the 4GB/64GB model of the Spark 7P is about 83,000 naira while that of the 4GB/128GB variant is around 97,000 naira. On the other hand, the 4GB/64GB variant of the Hot 10T cost about 85,000 naira, while the 4GB/128GB variant of the Infinix phone is around 103,000 naira.

Infinix Hot 10T comes in four colour options of Morandi Green, Heart Of Ocean, 7 Degree Purple and 95 Degree Black. Tecno Spark 7P is also available in four colours but different options of Alps Blue, Spruce Green, Magnet Black and Summer Mojito.

Design: Same Front, Different-looking Back Covers:

Due to their identical 6.82-inch drop-notch displays, the front of the Spark 7P and Hot 10T look so much alike, but their back covers look different.

First, the back camera bump of the Spark 7P looks more stylish and elegant than that of the Hot 10T. And it's this camera bump that makes the entire back of the Spark 7P to look more attractive.

Tecno Spark 7P also has a big Spark branding engraved on the left side of its back. This also contributes to the looks of the Tecno phone's back cover.

On the other hand, the back cover of the Infinix Hot 10T is beautified with small diamond-shaped patterns and it also has glossy (radiant) finish, but back cover of the Spark 7P is plain and has matte (non-reflective) finish. Still, the Tecno phone's back cover won't attract fingerprints and smudges like that of the Hot 10T.

Also, compared to that of the Hot 10T, the fingerprint reader of the Tecno Spark 7P is smaller and it also seems to be a little high and close to the camera module.

The positions of ports and buttons on the Tecno Spark 7P are similar to those on the Infinix Hot 10T. You have the power button and volume keys on the phones' right edges while the nano SIM card slots are found on their left edges. Though both phones also have their microUSB ports, mouthpiece and 3.5mm audio jacks placed on their bottom edges, but the speaker grille is missing on the Infinix Hot 10T. Because Infinix Hot 10T doesn't have a bottom firing speaker like the Tecno Spark 7P.

Identical 720p 90Hz Displays And Similar Ports And Buttons:

Concerning their displays, the 6.82-inch drop-notch displays of both phones feature the same 20.5:9 aspect ratio and have the same HD+ resolution of 1640x720. Both of them also support higher (90Hz) refresh rate; the feature that makes your games, page scrolling and texts appear smoother on these screens. And if you're not a fan of the higher refresh rate, you can choose the regular 60Hz refresh rate mode or Automatic refresh rate mode in the the Display Settings. It should be noted that the 90Hz or higher refresh rate mode consumes a slightly more power than the regular 60Hz refresh rate mode.

Furthermore, if you place both phones side by side, both displays render similar clear pictures and good colours. However, the white-point of the Hot 10T screen has a slightly warm tone. In another words, Tecno Spark 7P display has a slightly better white-point. But as i said, you need to place them side by side to notice this.

Same Selfie Lens, But Infinix Hot 10T Has Better Rear Camera:

Though both Infinix Hot 10T and Tecno Spark 7P feature triple-lens back cameras, and their second and third back cameras also feature similar sensors and have the same number of megapixels. But compared to that of the Spark 7, the main back camera of the Hot 10T is fitted with an higher megapixel sensor.

In details, the primary back camera of the Hot 10T is fitted with a 48-megapixel sensor which takes a clearer and more detailed pictures than the 16-megapixel primary back camera of the Spark 7P.

The second back cameras on both phones are made up of the same 2-megapixel Macro sensor; which is meant for taking detailed pictures of close-up objects. The third back cameras are also made up of the same QVGA or AI sensor; and it's meant for taking bright pictures in low lights environments.

Despite having an higher megapixel primary back camera, Infinix Hot 10T has the same 8-megapixel front facing as the Tecno Spark 7P.

Yet both the front and back cameras of both phones are capable of shooting 2K videos at 30fps (frame per second). Their back cameras are also capable of recording Slow-motion videos at 240fps.

Tecno Spark 7P Has A Better Sound Output:

Despite having the same processing power and Operating System as the Hot 10T, Tecno Spark 7P has a better sound output than the Infinix phone. And it's because the Tecno phone is equipped with stereo or dual speaker, while Hot 10T is fitted with a single speaker.

The first speaker of the Spark 7P is located on the bottom edge of the phone, while the second one is embedded inside the phone's top bezel, directly above the selfie camera. On the other hand and just like the second speaker of the Spark 7P, the single speaker of the Hot 10T is embedded inside the top bezel of the phone.

Same CPU, RAM, OS And Battery:

The Helio G70 processor that powered both Hot 10T and Spark 7P is a mid-tier yet powerful octa-core gaming chipset from the MediaTek. And it has a maximum processing speed of 2.0GHz. For a better gaming and graphics performance, this chipset is also fitted with the Mali-G52 GPU (Graphics Processing Unit).

As i said earlier, each of the phones has 4GB of RAM and internal storage options of either 64GB or 128GB. Still, their internal storage can be expanded, up to 512GB, through microSD cards. 

Although both Hot 10T and Spark 7P are running on the Android 11 Operating System (OS), each of them is running the Android OS alongside their individual's costum UI. While Hot 10T is running the OS alongside Infinix XOS 7.6, Spark 7P is running the Android OS with the Tecno's HiOS 7.5.

Both Infinix Hot 10T and Tecno Spark 7P are fitted with 5000mAh batteries. But despite their higher battery capacities, none of these phones support fast charging, so it might take you about three and half hours to fully charged each of them from one percent.
