TECNO Unveils Camon X ,Camon X Pro and Camon F Series

During its Global Spring Launch event held in Lagos, Nigeria, TECNO Mobile announced five new smartphones — The TECNO Camon X, TECNO Camon X^Pro, TECNO F1, TECNO F2 and TECNO POP₁.

Here’s what we know so far about them.

TECNO Camon X and X^Pro: All about the selfie game

Not to be confused with the Camon CX, the new TECNO Camon X was obviously built with selfie addicts in mind. I mean, why else would anyone put a 24 megapixel front camera on a smartphone?

According to Philex Meng, Chief Marketing Officer TECNO Mobile, it goes even beyond the megapixels.

Standout selfie camera features

• “4-in-1” mode — utilises 4 different small cells to balance colour, lighting and combines them into one picture
• Bokeh effect mode to place more focus on your face than the background
• Intelligent adjustable flashlight
• “AI-powered” selfie beautification
• 3-HDR mode for portrait and group selfies.

  • TECNO also announced the F series — TECNO F1, TECNO F2 and TECNO POP₁ (aka F3) — as their new entry level models, which leverage the Android Oreo (Go edition).The Android Oreo (Go edition) was developed specifically for entry-level smartphones and comes pre-installed with stripped down, ‘offline-first’ versions of popular Google apps such as YouTube Go, Gmail Go and other “Gos”.Needless to say, the F series is targeted primarily at first-timers so, don’t expect all the bells and whistles of a mid to high end smartphone.
