While planning to get a new phone, one of the main priority is getting a phone with notably good performance. Of course, you don’t want to get a phone that keeps you waiting on every task. The TECNO CAMON 16 comes with an Octa-Core gaming processor powered by the MediaTek Helio G70 chipset. In its price range, this phone performs well in day-to-day tasks like playing games, texting, watching videos, etc. Also, its performance is backed up by 4GB of RAM which enhances the overall performance and gives more room for multitasking.
Plenty of storage to play with.
Owning this phone, you’d want to take many pictures, play high graphics games and videos, and download songs and all others, all of which consume lots of storage. With the 128GB of internal storage on the CAMON 16, users are given an ample amount of space to store all their files without having to always clear the storage. Not just that, this phone features a dedicated micro SD card slot where you can easily expand the storage if you ever need more.
Cameras, Stunning Photography
The TECNO CAMON series known for its outstanding performance in photography and the TECNO CAMON 16 is not left out in the game. Even at its price range, the TECNO CAMON 16 comes with a good camera system with lots of functions to play with. This device alone has a total of six cameras which include the flagship-level 48MP quad-camera at the rear, and a 16MP dual-camera at the front.
The Quad-camera setup at the rear consists of a 48MP main camera, 8MP Wide-angle + Macro camera, 2MP depth sensor for perfect Bokeh and portrait shots, an AI lens, and Penta-LED flash. For the selfie lovers, the device now has a dual 16MP front camera in which the second 2MP depth control lens serves as an assistant for portrait shots.
Powered by TAIVOS (TECNO AI Vision Optimization Solution), this device uses AI to automatically enhance every shot you click on it. Talk of the improved Night Mode, it performs excellently well by reducing over-exposure, compensating with the needed amount of brightness, and boosting the images shot in dark scenarios.
Ultra-Night Portrait mode is another feature on this device. This device makes it possible to take portrait pictures even in low-lightning conditions. Without blowing out the subject with over-exposure, Night Mode 2.0 uses AI to automatically process the portrait details and gives you clearer and brighter portrait pictures.
We will not but mention it’s HIS (Hybrid Image Stabilization) combining the technology of EIS with AIS to provide stable video footage when it’s activated. This could help in scenarios where you don’t have a tripod to shoot your next video. Just enable this mode and be rest assured to get less-shaky footage.
There are just many camera improvements on the TECNO CAMON 16 which are better experienced than told. There are still features that focus mainly on dark-skinned people, AI Beauty mode, Video Beauty, AI Scene Detection, Animoji, HDR portrait, Video Bokeh, etc., all on this device which makes it prove the tag of being a Camera smartphone in its price segment.
Dependable Battery
With all the great features the CAMON 16 has to offer, a good battery is what’s needed to fuel the experience. This device comes with a large 5000mAh battery that could last for about 2 days on normal usage. And unless you’re always on the screen, it’s hard to consume its battery in a day. Also, charging this device is pretty fast. With its 18W Quick Charge, you’ll no longer have to tarry just to juice up the battery.
The TECNO CAMON 16 also features a powerful Battery Saving mode that automatically adjusts the performance and elongates the battery life. With this mode turned on, you could enjoy your phone doing the normal stuff for a longer time without panicking over low battery – especially when you don’t have your charger with you.
