Tecno mobile also announced the Spark GO with Spark 4 AIR mobile phone. The Tecno Spark GO is an entry-level phone with 6.1-inch IPS LCD display, 2GB RAM, 16GB storage, and is backed by a 3000mAh battery capacity.

However, the Spark GO comes with almost identical specs and features to the recently announced Spark 4 AIR. Recall that both phones were announced in Bangladesh in South Asia, middle east. It is available in two major variants.
