| Technology The mobile network technology the phone uses, such as GSM, HSPA or LTE. It determines which types of networks the phone can connect to. | GSM / HSPA / LTE |
| 2G bands The second-generation mobile network bands the phone can use for calls and basic data. Support for more bands means better compatibility with different networks. | GSM 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900 — SIM 1 & SIM 2 |

| Speed The data speed the phone can support on mobile networks. Higher speeds mean faster downloads and uploads when the network supports them. | HSPA, LTE |

Memory
| Card slot A special slot for inserting a memory card. Memory cards allow you to expand the phone's built-in memory (or in the past these slots have been used to add some missing features such as Wi-Fi connectivity). Memory cards have different capacities and are used to store and transfer files between compatible devices. There are several types of memory cards. The most popular and frequently used by mobile phone manufacturers is microSD; however, up until recently Sony Ericsson exclusively used the Memory Stick Micro (M2) card type developed by Sony. | microSD, up to 128GB |

The Sparx S3 is a 2023 entry-level phone — the cheapest Sparx in this programme. It runs Android 12 Go edition on a 1.4 GHz quad-core chip with 2GB of RAM and 16GB of storage, with a 5MP dual camera and a 2700mAh battery. At Rs. 10,999 it is a phone for the lightest users only.
Design and Display
The S3 measures 150.8 x 72 x 10.5 mm and weighs 185 g. It comes in a single colour, Dark Blue, and its camera module is a dual-lens design with “HD Camera” printed on it. The rear-mounted fingerprint circle is visible on the back. The display is a 5.54-inch IPS LCD with a 720 x 1600 resolution (HD+, around 322 ppi). No IP rating is published for this phone, so it should be treated as a phone that is not rated against dust or water.
Performance
Power comes from the Unisoc SC9832E, a quad-core 1.4 GHz Cortex-A53 chip with PowerVR GE8322 graphics. There is 2GB of RAM and 16GB of storage, with a microSD slot that takes cards up to 128GB. Storage deserves a note: mymobile’s own specification table lists 64GB, but that is an error in that table — the site’s own metadata and prose, and mobileinto and whatmobile, all say 16GB, and 16GB is the figure used here. The phone runs Android 12 Go edition, a lighter version of Android built for phones with 2GB of RAM, with a limited app set.
Camera
- Main: 5 MP
- Auxiliary: 0.3 MP
The dual camera is backed by a dual LED flash, geo-tagging, phase detection, panorama and HDR. Video is listed simply as “Video: Yes” — no frame rate is published anywhere. The front camera is a 2 MP unit.
Battery and Charging
The battery is a 2700mAh Li-Po unit, non-removable. No charging wattage is published anywhere, and none is claimed here.
Software
The S3 runs Android 12, Go edition. No update policy is published, and no Sparx skin name is published either, so neither is claimed here.
Price in Pakistan
Two current sources agree on Rs. 10,999: mobileinto’s expected price table, with “Reference: Official Website”, was updated November 11, 2026, and whatmobile lists Rs. 10,999 as well. No source calls the price “Official” for the S3, so the price is listed as Expected rather than Official. Also named, but not used as the basis: mymobile’s “From Rs 10,399” from August 2026, which is older than mobileinto’s November 11, 2026 table, and the February 2023 launch price of Rs. 10,299. Four figures were rejected: yahoomobile at Rs. 16,700, mobilemall at Rs. 14,999, gadgetsandaccessories at Rs. 14,999, and pinpack at Rs. 48,699, which is a polluted page. One line of dissent needs noting: mobileinto’s prose says the phone is “only available in a used and refurbished condition” — that is a stale template line, and mymobile says the phone is officially available.
2GB RAM + 16GB — Rs. 10,999 (Expected)
| Model | Sparx S3 |
| Price | Rs. 10,999 |
| Display | 5.54″ IPS LCD |
| RAM | 2GB |
| ROM | 16GB |
| Released | February 2023 |
Buying in Pakistan
- Check the IMEI and the exact model number of the unit you are buying.
- Confirm the warranty on the unit you are buying.
- Confirm PTA status through DIRBS. The phone is PTA-approved according to mymobile, but buyers should still confirm the individual unit.
- With only 16GB of storage, check that the unit is new and the box is sealed.
Final Verdict: The cheapest Sparx on the site, for the lightest users
2GB of RAM and 16GB of storage set a hard ceiling on this phone. The Go-edition OS, the rear fingerprint sensor and the FM radio are the reasons it works at all.
