TECNO Spark Go 3 Set for India Debut: Rugged Budget Phone Promises Big Features Under ₹10,000

TECNO is gearing up to introduce the Spark Go 3 in India on January 16, 2026, at 12 PM IST, targeting users who want a dependable smartphone without stretching their budget. Carrying the punchy slogan “Desh Jaisa Damdar,” the upcoming device highlights strength, practicality, and value, and will be sold via leading online platforms such as Amazon and Flipkart.

Built to Handle Everyday Wear and Tear

Positioned as the next step after the Spark Go 2, the Spark Go 3 places a strong emphasis on durability—an area often overlooked in the entry-level segment. The phone comes with IP64-rated protection, offering resistance against dust and water splashes, and has reportedly been drop-tested from heights of up to 1.2 metres, making it suitable for rough daily use.

Display and Performance

The smartphone is expected to sport a 6.67-inch HD+ LCD display with a 120Hz refresh rate, a rare inclusion at this price point. Powering the device is likely the Unisoc T7250 (UMS9230E) processor, paired with 4GB RAM and up to 128GB storage, aimed at delivering smooth performance for routine tasks, streaming, and social media.

Battery, Cameras and Software

Fueling the Spark Go 3 is a 5,000mAh battery, supported by 10W to 15W charging through a USB Type-C port. On the imaging front, TECNO has teased a pill-shaped rear camera module, expected to house a 13MP primary sensor, while selfies and video calls may be handled by an 8MP front camera.

The phone is tipped to run HiOS 15 based on Android 15, bringing the latest software experience to the budget category.

Standout Feature

One of the most talked-about aspects is a reported offline calling feature, which could allow users to communicate within a 1.5km radius even without a mobile network—a potentially game-changing addition for rural or low-signal areas.

Expected Pricing

With an anticipated price below ₹10,000, the TECNO Spark Go 3 aims to be a strong contender in India’s affordable 4G smartphone market in 2026, offering a mix of toughness, modern features, and aggressive pricing.
