We’ve had the Camon 12 Smartphone for a period of 3-weeks by the time of writing and our preview lane features a tale of interesting features that give it a must-buy score aside its lows we shall entail in our upcoming review article

Though the TECNO Camon 11 still rocks the market as a budget-friendly choice, here are 5 features that make its successor the perfect Smartphone to add on your festive budget list.

Low light Camera performance

Low light camera performance is a key mobile photography aspect that brings to book the function of an LED flashlight. However, not so many Smartphones cope with low light conditions when it comes to taking selfies/rear photos in the dark

But for the TECNO Camon 12, the front dual LED flashlights make quality selfies achievable in low light as the rear quad LED flash further crafts crisp quality images from an f2.8 triple Lens Iris rating.

Amazingly, both the front and rear cameras support the f2.8 Iris rating meaning you can still take quality low light photos by triggering the HDR option without using the LED flashlights for low battery usage.

Battery life

The Camon 12 is gifted with a 4000mAh battery, but with a couple of optimisation tweaks, the battery performs like one with a 5000mah capacity. In fact, with less full network usage, the Camon 12 can have a 3-day uptime without flipping for a charge.

Improved screen and Display ratio

The Phablets trend exploded with the introduction of 6.0-inch Smartphones a few years back, but the Camonn 12 re-imagines the beauty of owning a big-screen smartphone with a standard body size.

With a 6.6 Screen size riding on a 720*1600 resolution and a new waterdrop notch display standard, the device body attracts minimal bezels and a sleek backplate making the Camon 12 lightweight with a wide-view screen in the same loop.

Extra Storage to Keep you on the Go

What files can you store on a 64GB memory stick? Well, the Camon 12 gives you the standard as an Internal memory companion and not just for the expandable memory card slot that accepts up to 128GB.

This means you can store your device’s photos/videos and other files without worrying about the full storage notification depending on your storage streak. However, with 4GB RAM coupled to the device, this means fast performance with enough storage cores for no sluggish apps performance

Upgradable Operating System & HiOs

Android 9 Pie is the default TECNO Camon 12 operation system, but the Smartphone allows an upgrade path to newer versions like Android 10 once a new release is compatible with the device.

On the other hand, HiOS 5.5 (TECNO’s custom firmware) pre-installed on the device supports major app upgrades enhancing support for almost all latest apps ion the Google Playstore.

All in all, the Camon 11 is a major 2018 release that we reviewed as perfect buyers choice, but with the Camon 12 as its successor, it’s new display ratios and fully optimized performance standards grant it the must-have pin for as low as UGX 580,000.

As the semi flagship on the launched pike alognside the Spark 4. the TECNO Camon 12 packs a finish of improved features from the Camon 11 smartphone with the triple rear camera threat re-shipped back to play.

A 16MP + 2MP + 8MP is the overall Camon 12 rear setup with 4GB Ram and 64Gb finishing the most precious device specs sheet. Suprisingly the Smartphone is priced at an outstanding reservation price tag of UGX 569,000 as the Spark 4 raves at UGX 429,000 with a shiny specs sheet we previolulsy shared.

During the Tecno Mobile partnership reveal with MTN Uganda, the Smartphone brand’s country director stretched the new releases as budget-friendly wing encroachers with improved features just like the Camon 11 and Spark 3 respectively.

“At TECNO, we are excited about this new partnership between TECNO Uganda and MTN Uganda. We believe our customers shall enjoy a lot of benefits from this partnership. This partnership means a lot to us and it will start with the launch of our new upgraded devices; Camon 12 and Spark 4.

The new Camon 12 and Spark 4 features

Alongside the 5Gb free data for all new purchase customers redeemable by Inserting an MTN Simcard into the new Phone, the new Camon 122 and Spark 4 have a full network finish supporting both 3G and 4G bands as the key compatibility points.

For the Camon 12, it’s born from a selfie-centric lane managing its triple rear threat and front lone waterdrop gifted selfie camera are the key features shipped to it.

However, the Camon 12 also doubles as the first waterdrop notch Smartphone in its league giving it a perfect close to bezeless design spicing up its features sheet.

On the other hand, the TECNO spark 4 is born from the close to professional low range evidenced with budget friendliness on a high specifications sheet.

The Spark 4 comes with a low aperture system that allows you to take photos in dim or low light conditions with ease. Furthermore, 32GB storage space accepts upto 20,000 high-quality photos blending on top of your personal files

However, the key amazing Spark 4 feature is once again the waterdrop notch which is the first of its kind in the Spark series lane improved from the Spark 3 that shipped the ordinary skirt top display notch.

Future of the MTN and TECNO Mobile partnership

During the partnership launch, MTN’s Sales & distribution general manager Joseph Bogera inked future plans of the two brands working together to make Internet services affordable to mid-range Smartphone owners and the telco’s commitment to spicing up its services.

This partnership further demonstrates MTN’s commitment to drive our vision of delivering a bold new digital world to our customers.

Contrary to the newly launched smartphones, all future TECNO Smartphones purchased by an MTN customer will carry forward a 100% data bonus recharge for a total of 3 months on each and every bundle purchased

All in all, Its a Nyam Nyam data edition for TECNO Smartphone holders and Yello Camp subscribers who now benefit from a Dabolo data like Syndrom with a full data finish. Nonetheless, existing devices like the Pouvoir3, Pop 2 Plus and F1 also come with the Free 5GB data for MTN Customers.

The TECNO Camon 12 is the company’s latest rumor digested Smartphone expected to launch in Uganda on the 23rd day of October. Spiking like an elegant release! the Camon 12 will succeed the Camon 11 with a pile of upgrades given its launch timeframe.

As per the TECNO Camon 12 teaser image, the ordinary top-notch display is slowly phasing off the scene giving way to the waterdrop display standard, and it’s exciting to see that TECNO might adopt the feature on the Camon 12.

On our expectations list, we expect to see a re-adoption of the shiny backplate as introduced on the Camon 11 and later repackaged to the TECNO Spark 3.

On the other hand, a triple rear camera threat will be a perfect finish for the device since TECNO Mobile has not branched to the 4 rear sensors ratio as yet. However, the quality should be a promising venture of mobile photography excellence if its to fully beat its predecessors.

Well, away from the fact that a 6-inch screen is a usual attempt by the brand, the Camon 12 is going to be another mid-range Smartphone to reckon with just incase it price is not stretched closer to the Phantom 9 edge.

Nonetheless, as soon as the Camon 12 is launched in Uganda on 23rd October, we shall sniff more information about the new Smartphone plus its availability status in Uganda alongside a unique digest of performance in our Impressions and Overall review of the device.
