- 2 Triple rear camera (13MP + two CIF lenses) with LED flash, HDR and panorama at a sub-Rs. 30,000 price.

CONS
- 1 Helio G25 is entry-level silicon — heavy games and multitasking will feel slow.
- 2 720p display at 60Hz — not sharp or smooth by 2023 standards, and no high-refresh option.
- 3 microUSB 2.0 in 2023 — the older port, no Type-C.
- 4 No NFC, no 5G — and the two CIF lenses add almost nothing to the camera.

The Sparx Neo 8 is a budget 4G phone built around a 6.56-inch display, a 5000mAh battery and 18W charging, priced at Rs. 29,499 in Pakistan. It pairs the MediaTek Helio G25 with 4GB of RAM and 128GB of storage on full Android 13, with a triple 13MP rear camera and an 8MP selfie camera. For buyers who want a big screen and a big battery without paying more than Rs. 30,000, it is one of the cheapest ways in.
Design and Display
- 6.56-inch IPS LCD, 720 x 1600 (~267 ppi), 60Hz refresh.
- 164.6 x 75.8 x 9.2 mm, 185 g — a large, chunky handset.
- Colours: Blue (the featured image shows a light-blue unit; mymobile lists colours as “Various”).
- No display protection is published for this phone — no Gorilla Glass claim is made.
- Side-mounted fingerprint sensor; 3.5mm headphone jack; FM radio; no IP rating is published.
Performance
- MediaTek Helio G25 (12 nm) — octa-core: 4x Cortex-A53 @ 2.0 GHz + 4x Cortex-A53 @ 1.5 GHz.
- PowerVR GE8322 GPU.
- 4GB RAM, 128GB internal storage; microSD expansion up to 256GB.
- No 5G — 4G LTE only. Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n, Bluetooth 5.0, GPS with A-GPS.
- No virtual-RAM expansion is published for this phone.
Camera
- Main: 13 MP (wide) — the primary shooter.
- Second lens: CIF — an auxiliary lens for depth/effect shots.
- Third lens: CIF — a second auxiliary lens.
- Selfie: 8 MP.
- Video: 1080p@30fps (both cameras).
- LED flash, HDR, panorama, Ge-tagging and phase detection on the rear camera.
- Honest note: the two CIF lenses are spec-sheet fillers — judge the camera on the 13MP main alone.
Battery and Charging

The price is confirmed by four sources agreeing exactly (hamariweb Official, updated Nov 10, 2026; whatmobile Official; mobileinto Rs. 29,499, updated Nov 11, 2026; gsmarena.com.pk Rs. 29,499). The Sep 2023 launch price was Rs. 21,999 (mymobile) — that figure is stale and is not the current price. Lower single-retailer figures (pinpack 21,899; edeelo 27,299, out of stock; mobilemall 27,499) were not used. mobileinto’s page still calls the phone “expected to launch soon” and “only available in a used and refurbished condition” — that page is stale; the phone is officially available in Pakistan.
Launched in Pakistan in September 2023; available now.
Buying in Pakistan
- Check the IMEI and the exact model before paying — confirm it is the Neo 8 (Helio G25, 4+128), not the Neo 8 Pro or the Neo X.
- Confirm warranty — Sparx is a local brand; ask the seller whether the warranty is official Sparx warranty.
- Confirm PTA status via DIRBS — the phone is listed as PTA Approved; verify the IMEI on dirbs.pta.gov.pk before purchase.
- Register within the 60-day DIRBS window if the phone is non-PTA.
Final Verdict: A dependable budget phone at an honest Rs. 29,499
The Neo 8 does the budget basics well: big screen, big battery, 18W charging, full Android 13, and 128GB of storage with microSD expansion — all for Rs. 29,499.
The trade-offs are the 720p 60Hz display, the entry-level Helio G25 and microUSB. If those are acceptable, it is a sensible pick for first-time smartphone buyers and light users.
