It is less than a month since Tecno launched the Camon 16 and Camon 16 Pro device to go with the Camon 16 Premier that was launched a little earlier than the two. Now, there’s an addition to the Camon 16 series dubbed Tecno Camon 16s.
From what we know, this device is the stripped-down version of the Camon 16 smartphone. It shares few similarities with its model smartphone as you can see the same battery size, and all connectivity issues being the same, the rest of its features is a bit stripped down.
Camon 16s is available in Ice Jadeite, Misty Gray, Blue Hawaii as it features a 6.6-inch LCD with a 720 x 1640 pixels resolution. The screen houses an 8MP selfie camera with a quad-camera setup being at the back end of the device. Making up this setup is a 48-megapixel primary sensor, a 2-megapixel depth sensor, a 2-megapixel macro lens, and an AI lens.
Under the hood is a MediaTek Helio G70 chipset assisted by a 4GB of RAM. It also runs on Android 10 with HiOS 6.0 skin on top and its 64GB internal storage has an option to expand. The Camon 16s is powered by a 5000 mAh battery that charges over a microUSB port.
