The new Spark Go 3 pitches its durability as the most appealing feature in this price range. With an IP64 rating, TECNO’s new phone is claimed to withstand various environmental damages, including water splashes, making it ideal for use in places like construction zones, delivery routes, and transit areas. TECNO also claims the smartphone has “drop-ready durability.”

It boasts a 6.74-inch HD+ display with a 120Hz refresh rate. While the company has not specified, this appears to be an LCD panel with the ability to offer fluid scrolling and a responsive touch response. The smartphone houses a 5000mAh battery with 15W wired charging. It also offers the company’s AI assistant, called Ella AI, which can respond to queries and interact with users in several Indian languages, including Hindi, Tamil, Bengali, Gujarati, and Marathi.

The TECNO Spark Go 3 also integrates what the company calls No Network Communication 2.0. It describes it as a technology that allows communication in low or zero-network areas, such as basements, factories, warehouses, and remote locations. However, the company has not detailed how the technology works or if the company has tied up with carriers to facilitate it.
