TECNO CAMON 17

is one of the latest additions to an everlasting list of TECNO phones, and the popular CAMON series focused mainly on photography.

While there are many expensive smartphones out there, TECNO leans more towards manufacturing phones at affordable prices – providing what the end-users need most like a good screen, better cameras, good battery life, friendly software experience, and most especially, optimized overall performance at a price that won’t break your bank.

Being the right successor to Camon 16, TECNO Camon 17 comes with many notable features. This includes 128GB storage, improved camera, larger display, 18W Flash charge, etc.

If this is all you’re looking for in your next smartphone, the TECNO CAMON 17 could be the best choice for you. It comes packed with the MediaTek Helio G85 gaming and battery optimization focused processor, a 6.6″ Dot-In HD+ cinematic display with 90Hz refresh rate that can brighten up to 480 nits, a dependable 5000mAh battery with 18W Quick charge, 128GB of internal storage and 4GB of RAM, a 48MP flagship-level camera, and many more

 

Design and Display

In a world where reminiscence in smartphone design has become par for the course for some smartphone brands, Tecno has continually shown its ability to keep churning out smartphones with distinguishable designs.

Beginning with setup on the rear, we have a plain colour scheme, as opposed to the gradient scheme seen on the Camon 16. Speaking of colours, the options available on this device includes Frost Silver, Deep Sea, Tranquil Green.  The rear cover is made up of plastic.

Perusing the placements on the rear reveals a vertical array of cameras, as opposed to the horizontal design on the Camon 16. We also have the Camon branding inscribed boldly, with the Tecno branding sitting on top of it, lastly we have a capacitive fingerprint sensor.

There is a high chance enthusiasts may find it a bit difficult to differentiate the Camon 17 from its predecessor if the front panel is the only part of the phone they have to consider, this due to the striking resemblance we get with its predecessor.

The setup upfront on the Camon 17 is sort of a reminiscence of its predecessor. Here you will find a display with a punch-hole camera on the top left corner as seen on the Camon 16.

 

Hardware and Software

The Tecno Camon 17 takes performance up a notch by featuring the MediaTek Helio G85 processor, which is more capable than the Helio G70 on the Camon 16.

Also on the performance train, is a non-removable 5000mAh battery, RAM, and storage options that include 4GB RAM / 128GB and 6GB RAM / 128GB.

On the software side, we have got the HIOS 7.6 user interface running on the Android 11 operating system.
