New budget-friendly 5G phones in India start at around Rs 10,000. While there are many good entry-level 5G phones available across different brands, some people may still opt for 4G phones due to various factors such as budget constraints, patchy 5G coverage in their area, or simply because they have reliable 4G connectivity and don’t see an immediate need to upgrade. Others might view a 4G phone as a temporary solution until 5G networks become more widespread and reliable. For those considering a 4G phone, Tecno has announced the Tecno Spark Go 1. While it is an entry-level 4G phone, it packs some specifications that may surprise many, making it a compelling option for budget-conscious consumers.
The Tecno Spark Go 1 makes a strong first impression with its sleek design and vibrant display. On the front, it has a punch-hole display with a chunky bottom bezel, and its back panel has a camera module housing a single camera, an LED flash, and an IR blaster (which mimics a camera sensor). The top bezel houses an LED flash, which can be used for the front camera and also lights up for notifications.
The top and bottom edges have speakers for stereo output. The top lacks a secondary microphone, while the bottom edge also features a primary microphone, a USB-C port, and a 3.5mm audio jack. On the left is a SIM card slot, and the right edge has a volume rocker and a power button, which doubles up as a fingerprint sensor.
Available in Startrail Black, Glittery White, and Lime Green, the Spark Go 1’s build is both stylish and functional. It measures 8.35mm (or 8.55mm for the leather variant) in thickness and weighs 189 grams, making it comfortable to hold and use. As can be seen, I am provided with a white variant of the device. Its retail package includes the Spark Go 1 unit, a case, an 18W charger, a USB-C to USB-A cable, and some paperwork.
