TECNO Mobile has just introduced its latest series of smartphones — Camon 16. This leaves us wondering why TECNO mobile has now launched two Camon smartphones in the space of one year. The new Camon 16 series includes three phones: the Camon 16 Premier, Camon 16 Pro, and Camon 16.
The Camon-line of smartphones has always been known for stellar camera performance and the new Camon 16 series didn’t disappoint, as they come with more upgrades to the camera department; they all have quad-cameras on the back and dual punch-hole cameras upfront.
These latest Camon smartphones come in as successors to the Camon 15 TECNO launched a couple of months back.

This smartphone has a massive 6.9-inch Full HD display and it comes with a 90Hz refresh rate — the first of its kind on any TECNO smartphone. It also has the punch-hole dual selfie cameras (48 MP main + 8 MP ultrawide) seated in the display. The fingerprint scanner has also been placed on the right side of the device, this time.
On the rear of the device, you have a square camera array, similar to that of the Infinix Zero 8, that houses a quad-camera setup of a 64 MP Sony IMX686 sensor main camera, an 8 MP ultrawide-angle shooter, and two 2MP units for night shots.
The jaw-dropping feature of the Camon 16 Premier has to be the powerful Mediatek Helio G90T chipset, the same chipset that powers the Infinix Zero 8. And yes, this device comes with a 33W fast charger to power the 4,500 mAh battery.
