Tecno Camon C8
There is nothing that sets the blood rushing faster than going out shopping and striking a pocket- friendly deal for a pleasant product. Tecno Camon C8 targets such shoppers with an alluring proposition priced at just about Ksh. 13, 000.
The Camon C8 is a phablet with a screen size of 5.5 inches. This IPS touchscreen has a resolution of 1280 x 720 pixels thereby delivering a good, high definition quality. The highlight here (considering the price) is the use of a metallic frame and glass for the display which gives it a sense of durability.
Tecno Camon C8 has dual- SIM slots so you can carry around two SIMs in your phone instead of having two phones in the pocket. I must admit that the concept of a dual-SIM smartphone grows on you over time as you appreciate the convenience of it. Especially when you have two categories of people for each line, say a category for business contacts and another for family, friends and distant acquaintances.
The dimensions used for the body are typical of phablets. It is a large device with a substantial thickness. You will definitely get a great entertainment experience given the size of the display, but the phablet has a bulkiness to it that will make your pocket to bulge, and we are not even thinking tight jeans!
Perhaps the highlight of this product is its photography credentials which can quickly make you forget that this is primarily a phone and not a compact camera. The back camera is the most impressive shooter with a lens of 13 megapixels which promises great stills and high definition movies. This coupled by dual LED flash and autofocus make it a highly desirable companion when you want to capture treasurable moments such as parties, anniversaries or random subjects of interest. However, not intending to throw a wet blanket here, there is so much you can demand from a budget smartphone. But even before jumping into any conclusions about the possibilities, perhaps there is much to be gained given that the 5 megapixels secondary camera comes with its own LED flash making it an instant pick for a selfie- taker.
Tecno Camon C8 runs Android 5.0 Lollipop that is now very popular with third party app developers. The open nature of the android platform means you get a wide variety of apps to choose from on Google Play store.
Among the hardware concealed beneath the outer interface of the phone is a Mediatek processor that has four cores with clocking speeds of up to 1.3 GHz. Tecno has included a RAM chip of 1GB in size which should give just enough computing memory for installing and running a large variety of software. Internal storage although standard at 16GB can be increased by tapping into the micro SD card slot. You can still subscribe to cloud storage on this 3G device.
Having a large body makes it easier for engineers to equip smartphones with capacious batteries, and in this case, a 3, 000 mAh non- removable Li-Ion battery has been included.
