The TECNO Spark Go 3 has been officially introduced as a budget smartphone that gives a clear idea of what to expect from phones in 2026. Despite its affordable target, it is notable for its inclusion of features usually only seen in the higher segment of the market.
It is powered by a Unisoc T7250 processor coupled with 4GB LPDDR4X RAM and 64GB internal storage. While storage options are limited, it runs on Android 15 and comes with Ella AI assistant, pointing the way to a smarter experience even on an entry-level device.
One of its most attractive aspects is the 6.74-inch IPS display with a 120Hz refresh rate, a rare feature in this class of phone. It also has an 8MP punch-hole selfie camera, while on the back is a 13MP main camera supported by an LED flash for everyday shots.
TECNO also boasts the improved durability of the Spark Go 3, with IP64 rating and 1.2-meter drop resistance. It is further complemented by a microSD card slot for additional storage and a 5000mAh battery with 15W charging, enough for all-day use.
With a price tag of around Php 6,000, the TECNO Spark Go 3 is a bit high compared to its storage capacity. However, with its 120Hz display, rugged design, and modern software, it clearly positions itself as the starting standard for budget phones in 2026.
