First Impressions

The first thing you will notice about the TECNO Camon 16 is most like the design of the smartphone. The smartphone packs a really decent and compact design profile that attracts attention.

I liked how deliberate the design of the smartphone is, this gives the smartphone a premium look and feel, something that is often missing on most budget smartphones.

The other noteworthy thing to mention is the display. The TECNO Camon 16 Premier packs a gorgeous design. The Camon 16 packs a 6.9-inch IPS LCD display and a 2K screen resolution density. This is not all, in addition to all this niceness, the Camon 16 Premier packs a 90Hz refresh rate.

Cool story bro, but what the heck does a refresh rate mean and why should I care?

We the refresh rate is about how smoothly an image is displayed on a display. If a display has a 1Hz refresh rate, it means that the display updates an image once every second, therefore, for a 90hz refresh rate it means that the display is able to refresh an image 90 times every second. This is quite high and makes gaming on the smartphone a delight since modern graphic intensive games are coded with this in mind.

The other noteworthy thing is the camera. The Camon series has always been about the camera experience. The TECNO Camon 16 Premier packs a quad camera profile that gives you a spectacular camera experience at a mid-range price point.
