OVERVIEW
The Tecno Camon 18 Premier price in Kenya is Ksh 34,200. It comes with 8 gigabytes of RAM, 256 gigabytes of internal storage, a 32-megapixel selfie camera. The main camera consists of 64MP + 8MP + 12MP lens. The Camon 18 Premier has a 120Hz, 6.7 inch AMOLED display with 550 nits brightness. The phone is powered by a 4750 mAh battery with a 33 Watts Fast charging. Powering this device is the Mediatek Helio G96 chipset.
120 Hertz Display
The 120 Hertz refresh rate makes swiping and scrolling noticeably smoother. There’s no support for high frame rate gaming though. It’s nice to have an AMOLED for its great contrast and deep blacks. But compared to a flagship screen, where there’s no HDR support and colors tend to turn towards blueish. And the brightness of this screen measures up to a maximum of 425 nits. The Camon 18 Premier has something like an always-on display. It shows you time and notifications, but only when you pick up or move the phone.
Platform
The interface of Tecno Camon 18 Premier is HIOS 8.0 based on Android 11, it features a bunch of proprietary apps and their own app store. There’s also a smart panel that stores shortcuts and slides out from the edge of the home screen. A lot less unnecessary apT here compared to some of Tecno’s less expensive phones. Storage is expandable through micro SD on top of the already beefy 256 GB built-in. At the heart of Camon 18, Premier is a Mediatek Helio G96 (12 nm) chipset. Performance-wise the phone does a decent job. The thermals are respectable too.
Battery
Powering this premier phone is a not so premier Li-Po 4750 mAh, non-removable battery. Interestingly, even with what seems like a not-so-good battery capacity given the company’s reputation, the battery life here is great. You also get a 33-watt fast charger in the box. And with it, you will be able to charge the phone from zero to 60% in half an hour.
