Key Specs of the TECNO Camon 18

If you are interested in the TECNO Camon 18, you should also check out the Xiaomi Redmi Note 10 (Ksh. 23,499).

Display

Display Size: 6.8-inches

Display Type: IPS LCD

Screen Resolution: 1080 x 2460

Screen Resolution Density: 395 ppi

The TECNO Camon 18 features an IPS LCD display, just like its predecessor, the Camon 17 series, with a smooth scrolling 90Hz refresh rate.

Now, before you get annoyed at TECNO for using the same display type, the Camon 18 does come with a higher resolution of 1080 x 2460 pixels and is 0.2 inches larger, hence a wider screen-view real estate.

Dimensions: 168.9 x 76.7 x 8.8 mm

The Camon 18 packs a modern trendy design that looks and feels good. Plus, the rear vertical triple camera setup not only gives the smartphone a classy vibe but also eliminates any doubts that this is a camera-centric smartphone.

Performance

Operating System: Android 11

CPU: 2.0Ghz Octa-core

RAM: 4GB

Internal Storage: 128GB

Micro SD: Yes

In terms of performance, the Camon 18 comes equipped with MediaTek’s Helio G88 chipset coupled up with 4GB RAM.

This is the lowest variant of the whole Camon 18 lineup, so, TECNO savored the good stuff for the better versions. However, not to worry, these specs will easily handle most apps and games.

About the G88 chipset, it’s brilliant for supporting high-resolution cameras (64MP) and is ideal for supporting 90Hz displays that the Camon 18 features.

Storage-wise, you get 128GB as onboard storage plus a micro-SD card slot to expand storage at your will.

The Camon 18 runs Android 11 out of the box.

Camera

The Camera is the unique selling proposition of the Camon 18, and as TECNO advertises, it will help you master the ultimate photography experience.

In this regard, you get a 48MP main lens, a 2MP macro lens (for close-up shots), and a 2MP depth lens (for Zoom).

Upfront, TECNO placed a 16MP selfie camera under the centrally-aligned punch-hole notch.

Battery

A Li-Po 5000mAh battery that supports 18W fast charging powers the TECNO Camon 18. It’s quite a large battery and it should last you through the day or even two.
