The Spark 9T features a 6.6-inch IPS LCD screen that delivers a Full HD+ resolution and a 60Hz refresh rate. There is a teardrop notch on the screen, which houses an 8-megapixel selfie camera.
Moving to the back reveals a triple camera setup having two large-sized camera rings. It has a 13-megapixel main camera, a 2-megapixel depth-sensing unit, and an AI lens. The device comes preinstalled with Android 12 OS with HiOS 8.6 UI on top.
The MediaTek Helio G37 is present under the hood of the Spark 9T. The device is equipped with 4 GB of RAM, up to a 128 GB of built-in storage, and a microSD card slot for additional storage. The handset packs a 5,000mAh battery that support for 10W charging.
