wow!! tecno introduce camon c7 again

 It is no longer news that the TECNO Camon series has become a household in Nigeria. TECNO Mobile introduced the first members of the Camon devices last year; TECNO Camon C5 and Camon C8. The Camon C8 went ahead to become the most successful smartphone in Nigeria with an unmatched sales record. The success of the Camon C8 was attributed to its excellent low light photography. In a bid to build on the success recorded last year, TECNO introduced the third iteration of the Camon device; TECNO Camon C9 with an innovative centrally placed 13MP front and back camera. Ever since, the device has become the talk of the town especially from lovers of quality camera phone. If you think the Camon C9 is the last Camon device for this year, you might definitely be missing the gist. Few weeks after the release of the Camon C9, TECNO introduced the TECNO CAMON C7, which can easily pass as the Camon C9 mini. We did the unboxing of the device a week ago earlier in the week and here is the full review of the Camon C9’s sister you must read right now. LIGHT WEIGHT AND PORTABLE The TECNO Camon C7 is very light and slim, though it may not be the lightest device out there but at 142g, it feels so comfortable in both hands and pocket. It is a perfect size for those who think 5.5-inch is too big and 4.5-inch is too small—the perfect size indeed!

Very functional pouch. Share on Facebook Share on Twitter VIVID AND COLOURFUL DISPLAY The screen is HD with IPS display, so texts and images are crisp and very sharp. The sharpness and vividness of the display is visibly better compared to many phones with the same display. One can hardly notice it is not full HD. Share on Facebook Share on Twitter Outdoor visibility is great at maximum brightness. I could read texts and operate the device easily outside on a sunny day without having to strain my eyes. But please do not text while walking along the road. J SOFTWARE ANDROID 6.0 MARSHMALLOW The device came running Android 6.0 Marshmallow. It works fine with no noticeable lag when switching from one app to another. It just multitasks pretty fine. There are huge selection of themes including the latest ones from the ongoing Olympics in Brazil. They make the look of the icons so unique and I find myself changing from one to another.

 SPECIFICATIONS OF THE DEVICE

It comes with dual SIMS and a memory card slot; 3G enable—no 4G LTE present The TECNO Camon C7 is a fully dual SIMs compactible device and also an SDcard slot to extend the inbuilt storage capacity up to 128GB is provided. Two SIM cards can be used at the same time which are both 3G-enabled. Do not expect to see 4G LTE capability here. If you want that, you’d have to get the TECNO Camon C9. The processor on the device is a Mediatek 6753 quad-core processors clocked at 1.3 GHz and a Mali-T720 GPU. There is 2GB of RAM and 16GB of on-board storage which can be extended to 128GB through the MicroSD slot. The screen is 5.0-inch HD 720* 1280 –pixel IPS panel. The full specification was already covered in the unboxing review I did. FASHIONABLE IN DESIGN The TECNO Camon C7 is available in four different beautiful colours which are champagne gold, Rose Gold, Elegant Blue and the Sandstone Black. So there is a colour that matches everyone’s style. TECNO Camon C7 is a fully accessorized device –all the necessary items are provided. Meanwhile, I am not expecting anything less since TECNO has a tradition of providing all accessories on their devices. THE DESIGN CONCEPT The device is slim with curvy back. It shares the same design language with the TECNO Camon C9. In fact, if you have seen the TECNO Camon C9 before, this can easily pass as the mini version. The curvy back design makes it easier to pick up from a flat surface and is solidly built and light in my hands. Just like the Camon C9, all the physical buttons are located at the right side. Share on Facebook Share on Twitter The back camera is well designed to align with the back which is something I am excited about—unlike most phones that have their cameras sticking out above them-camera bump. SAFEGUARD IRIS SCANNER SECURITY The TECNO Camon C7 also comes with eyeprint (iris) scanner just like its bigger brother; Camon C9. The eyeprint scanner can be used to encrypt the phone and other data on the phone, it therefore provides additional security on the device. Setting up the eyeprint is quite easy and it takes few seconds, pretty fun and exciting stuff but the feature is still relatively new on mobile device and unstable, plus it is secure. You can keep colleagues and friends that are fond of snooping on your private photos and messages away from your phone. I will give it a score of 6/10. If you are afraid the eyeprint scanner can fail and lock you out of your phone, there is a back up password that can be used if the eyeprint scanner fails.The unlock feature doesn’t work under low light, hence there is option to use the password to unlock the device. THE EXCELLENT DUAL 13 MP CAMERA The device is fitted with 13megapixel rear and front camera just like its bigger version, the TECNO Camon C9. But we all know higher megapixel doesn’t really determine the quality of a picture but the lens being used as well as how the software on the phone is optimised. The TECNO Camon C7 uses a 5P graded optical lens and f/2.2 aperture diaphragm which enable more light to come into the lens for clearer and sharper picture production and the 13MP front facing camera has 83° wide angle selfie capability. Since it is a camera–centric device, this is the part many people are eager to read, and how well does the device performs compares to the acclaimed Camon C9? I have been able to take pictures with the device and they are pretty good—as good as those on the C9. The camera also performs well in capturing detailed images. I am Impressed with the quality of the camera TECNO has been able to use on this midrange device, it’s really awesome. I put the camera to test under abundant light and low light and here are some of the camera samples from the device. Picture taken under abundant light. the price is between N39000-N42000.
