The midrange smartphone market in Kenya will soon expect a shakeup next month as TECNO gears up to launch TECNO Camon 18 series.
TECNO Camon 18 succeeds the TECNO Camon 17 series launched early this year just in time for the holidays.
We have already checked out the TECNO Camon 17 Pro, putting it through its paces in our first impressions review, camera performance review, full review and even put it against the Samsung Galaxy A32 in our full comparison review.
TECNO Camon 18 series is slated to come with new upgrades up its sleeve and here’s what we know so far.
At the helm of the TECNO Camon 18 series is a MediaTek Helio G96 processor coupled with 8GB of RAM and 256GB of onboard storage.
TECNO Camon 18 series will feature a 6.7″ AMOLED screen with a 120Hz refresh rate – an upgrade over its predecessor that shipped with a 90Hz refresh rate.
For optics, we expect a 64MP triple camera setup that features a hardware depth engine for dual-camera bokeh captures, a Camera Control Unit (CCU) and Electronic Image Stabilization (EIS) and Rolling Shutter Compensation (RSC) technologies combined with TECNO’s AI Vision
Optimization Solution (TAIVOS) to create smoother, sharper and clearer photos and videos.
At the front, we expect a 48MP centred punch-hole selfie camera.
We may see an in-display fingerprint reader too just like the Phantom X, its flagship sibling.
TECNO Camon 18 series is expected to come with Android 11 and HiOS 7.6.
Keeping the lights on will be a 5000mAh battery with support for 33W USB-C charging.
TECNO Camon 18 series is slated to launch sometime next month.
We expect TECNO to share more updates about its new midrange smartphone in the coming days.
