The Camon 18i, Tecno's latest addition to the Camon 18 family, has been quietly launched in Kenya. The phone is a minor upgrade to the original Tecno Camon 18, and it will be available with the other Camon 18 models, including the 18P and Premier.
Display and Design
As a result, it has a narrower viewing angle. A 6.6-inch HD+ LCD with a refresh rate of 90Hz and a reduced resolution (from FullHD+) is used. In order to make room for the vertical triple camera configuration, the fingerprint sensor has been relocated to the back of the device.
Storage and Internal Components
The basic model's MediaTek Helio G88 SoC has been replaced with the Helio G85, despite the chipsets' almost identical performance, coupled with 4GB of RAM and a microSD card slot for additional storage of up to 256GB. Tecno's HiOS 8.0 overlay is applied over stock Android 11.
Cameras
The primary camera system has been somewhat improved over the first model. Compared to the Tecno Camon 18, the main sensor is the same at 48MP, but there is an additional 13MP ultrawide camera. Last but not least, there's a 2MP depth camera for taking portrait photos. The 16MP wide-angle lens on the front of the phone is used for taking selfies.
Pricing and Battery Life
The battery's 5,000 mAh capacity and capability for 18W fast charging are also unchanged. The Tecno Camon 18i costs $170 in Kenya and comes in just one color: Grey. Once the phone is available in Pakistan, the price will be somewhat different.
