What we like about Tecno Spark Go 1S (3GB + 64GB)

  • Affordable entry-level pricing suitable for budget-conscious users
  • Large 5000mAh battery providing reliable all-day life for basic tasks
  • Smooth 90Hz to 120Hz refresh rate display for better scrolling
  • Lightweight and ergonomic design with an IPX4/IP54 water-resistance rating
  • Dual speakers featuring DTS sound technology for an improved audio experience
  • Included IR blaster for controlling home appliances like TVs and ACs

What we don't like about Tecno Spark Go 1S (3GB + 64GB)

  • Weak performance under heavy loads, leading to lags or crashes in demanding games
  • Slow 15W charging which can take over 2.5 hours to reach a full charge
  • Average camera quality, especially struggling with autofocus and noise in low light
  • Limited multitasking capabilities due to the base 3GB RAM configuration
  • Screen visibility issues when used in direct sunlight due to low peak brightness
  • Occasional connectivity issues reported with Wi-Fi and mobile data signals

Verdict

The Tecno Spark Go 1S (3GB+64GB) is a budget-friendly 4G smartphone running Android 14 (Go Edition), featuring a large 6.67-inch HD+ IPS LCD display with a smooth 120Hz refresh rate. It is powered by an octa-core Unisoc T615 or MediaTek Helio G50 processor and is equipped with 3GB of RAM (plus up to 3GB virtual RAM extension) and 64GB of expandable storage. Key features include a robust 5000mAh battery, a 13MP rear camera, an 8MP front camera, dual speakers with DTS audio, a side-mounted fingerprint sensor, an IP54 dust and splash resistance rating, and an unusual-for-its-segment in-built infrared (IR) remote control sensor. The main pros are its premium-feeling design, a smooth high-refresh-rate display for its price point, solid battery life, and the inclusion of features like an IR blaster and dual speakers. Cons often cited by users include performance limitations with demanding apps and games (it is best suited for basic, everyday tasks), potential network connectivity issues, and a slow charging time, with the included 10W charger taking nearly 3 hours to full charge despite 15W support.
