Entry-level smartphones are usually judged by what they lack. Slower performance, basic cameras, and software compromises are expected at this price point. So, when I started using the Tecno Spark Go 3 as a daily phone, I was not looking for excitement. The goal was simple. Could a phone priced at Rs 8,999 handle everyday tasks without constantly reminding you of its limitations?
After spending time with it for calls, WhatsApp, YouTube, music streaming, and light photography, the Spark Go 3 turned out to be more usable than I expected, especially for users upgrading from older budget smartphones.
3Decent cameras
The 13-megapixel rear camera is straightforward and predictable. In good lighting, photos come out with acceptable detail and natural colours. The camera app is easy to use, and features like AI Flash Snap help in low-light situations, although expectations should remain realistic.
The 8MP front camera handles video calls and selfies reliably, making it suitable for online classes, work calls, and everyday social media use.
This is not a camera phone, but it delivers consistent results for basic photography needs.
