Tecno Mobile continues with the expansion of its Camon 18 series with the introduction of the Camon 18T smartphone. Following up on the budget-friendly Camon 18i, Tecno’s Camon 18T brings the looks of the more premium Camon 18 models but relies on MediaTek’s less capable Helio G85 chipset.
The Camon 18T brings a 6.8-inch IPS LCD with FHD+ resolution and a punch-hole cutout for the 48MP selfie cam. There’s also a dual-LED flash system to help out your selfies. Going around the back we find another 48MP sensor alongside a 2MP macro cam and 2MP depth helper. There’s a decently sized 5,000 mAh battery with 18W charging. The software side is covered by Tecno’s HiOS based on Android 11.
