The Tecno Camon was officially launched yesterday and is already available on Jumia for Ksh 28,500. This is the successor to the Camon 15 Premier from earlier this year and builds up on that including the addition of a 90HZ display. It is strange to see two devices in the same series launched just months apart but I guess with the fast-changing tech world, anything is possible.
The Camon 16 Premier looks quite different from the Camon 15 Premier. It does not feel as bulky and the back camera is held in a square module at the back. For the front facing camera, we are getting two with a 48MP main sensor and an 8MP wide angle lens. This is slowly becoming the standard in 2020 and Tecno clearly does not want to be left behind. Check out the unboxing video of the Camon 16 Premier below.
I will be reviewing the Camon 16 Premier and sharing my experiences with it in about two weeks.
Have a look at some of the Tecno Camon 16 Premier key specifications.
