In this review, I will be bringing to you a decent device targeted at the photography lovers specifically the selfie-centric population, TECNO Camon C9 is the awesome device, Tecno is always awesome in producing devices with decent specs but I feel this device is targeted and good at one particular area which is the Camera.
Let further talk more about the device itself and see what the device has for us.
Design
Camon C9 has a bulgy curved back, similar to the Phantom 5, Camon C9 follows the same design aesthetic as the Tecno Boom J8 which is an uninterrupted slab of glass up front. It has it right the proximity and light sensors, a thin metal frame around the edges of the device and a plastic back with a velvet finish making it totally awesome during handling and also the refreshing velvet textured back is also removable but the battery is bolted onto the chassis of the device it only allows access to the Micro SDcard and Sim swap. The curved back makes it easier to pick up from a table or other flat surface.
Performance
The Camon C9 runs Android 6.0 Marshmallow with HiOS, TECNO’s new custom user interface, on top. HiOS is light and fluid. The display is a 5.5 inch IPS LCD panel packing 1920 x 1080 pixels (Full HD) it is also powered by a 1.3GHz MediaTek MT6753 processor which was produced for mass market. It has also been refined since its first coming on the Boom J8 and all issues we experienced with it then are non-existent here on the Camon C9.
The Camon C9 is a dual sim device enabled with dual 4G and also has Bluetooth 4.0. TECNO Camon C9 has 16GB internal storage also expandable with a microSD card p to 128GB, RAM is quite impressive at 2GB which helps to deliver better performance.
It has a pre-installed music app, Boom Player, is quite good and it now allows discovery of music, music videos too, which is cool. Boom Player has all the standard features you would expect from a music app, plus it lets you find music and videos by African artistes conveniently. It also notifies you of new music when they are available.
Camera
Camon C9 has awesome camera specs which is one of the best camera devices by Tecno which features a 13MP camera Back and front demanding all the attention and positioned above the display right in the center. Camon C9 back camera is designed to align with is the LED flash to ensure decent shots during the darkest environments. Tecno Camon C9 back camera is designed to align with the back.
Verdict
I Tecno Camon C9 has one of the decent specs you can get on a device in this age, it has a 4g connectivity for fast browsing, a wonderful camera which I feel is the better part of the Phone, a good battery life but could have been better maybe a 4050mAh would have done better. A very nice design texture that is fulfilling to the hand.
