The other two are the Spark 9 and the Spark 9 which is available at a lower price and the Spark 9T which is available at a slightly higher price.  The Spark 9 series is the successor from the Spark 8 series that we reviewed last year.

This is the first tablet from HMD Global and it has to deliver since Nokia smartphones do not seem to stand out from the competition.

The Infinix Note 12 comes with a few upgraded specifications compared to Infinix Note 11, its predecessor. It is powered by the Helio G96 processor which is not the most powerful chip from MediaTek for a phone within this price range but…
