The Tecno Camon CM  (a.k.a Tecno Camon C11 or CMore) has been launched in Nigeria with another launch in Ghana expected soon. Ever since the camera focused Tecno Camon series was introduced in 2015, over 6 million handsets globally have been sold, helping consumers experience high-quality selfie technology at the touch of a button.

The Tecno Camon CM comes with a 5.65-inch Full Vision display screen dishing out an 18:9 aspect ratio with 720 x 1440 pixels resolution which is very poor since the screen of the CM is significantly bigger than its predecessor, the Camon CX.

Apart from the full vision display screen, the Camon CM runs on Android 7.0, another disappointment, as we have earlier leaked other Tecno phones coming out this year, all of them with Android Oreo 8.1.

The Tecno CSeries is a family of camera-focused phones, but they do good on productivity for the average user, and the Tecno Camon CM looks to be no different.

Last year was very good for TECNO. As early as in March 2017, the company released the Tecno Camon CX and the Camon CX Air. As with all Camon Series, the camera was the big takeaway from the CX. Tecno fans across the country are naturally waiting for the release of the successors to the CX and the CX air.

Everyone is looking forward to seeing what TECNO will do this time around. There have been rumours about what the new phone will be and how it will look. However, Mfidie.com can reliably confirm that the Chinese company will soon unveil an 18:9 display smartphone in Ghana. The phone will be the Tecno Camon CM. While we have not yet fully confirmed the specs of the Tecno Camon CM, we do know the Camon series are great on camera but perform relatively poor when it comes to performance specs. The Tecno Camon CM should naturally follow suit.

Oh, this article says 3 Android 8.1 Oreo phones. I have only mentioned one so far. Let’s get to the others!

We went a step further to check from benchmarking platform Geekbench to see if any new TECNO Devices have been tested “in the wild”.

Apparently, there are two or more TECNO Phones in the works: TECNO CA7, the TECNO CA8 and TECNO R8. We are pretty sure that these are just codenames and not the phones’ final names. When you look closely at the specs of the CA7 and the CA8, it is only safe to assume, from precedence, that the two phones are variants of the same model.

As the phones are yet to be released, it is again safe to assume that the results from Geekbench may not be a 100%, but they shouldn’t differ much from the final product we should see.

Both the Tecno CA7 and CA8 have been listed with a MediaTek MT6763V/V processor, otherwise known as Helio P23, however, the former has 3GB RAM while the latter has 4GB RAM. In terms of software, the pair gets Android 8.1 Oreo out of the box, which should be more than a welcome idea for many fans.

While the Helio P23 processor implies that the Tecno CA7 and CA8 will come just below the Tecno Phantom 8 (which has the Helio P25 and 6GB RAM and is currently the company’s high-end phone), the MediaTek MT6737 chipset on the Tecno R8 suggests that this phone is targeting the entry-level market, just like the Camon CX Air that shares the same processor. On the contrary, the R8 has been listed with a mere 1GB RAM, which is half what is used on the CX Air, but it has the same Android 8.1 Oreo as the others.

Hi TECNO, 1 GB of Ram in 2018?

The phones are likely to be released before the end of March 2018.

If you are a big Fan of TECNO mobile, then you should already know by now that they will launch their next flagship in Dubai on 22nd October 2017. Looking at Trends, it is expected that there will be a Phantom 8 and a Phantom 8 Plus. Yes, there will be no Tecno Phantom 7.

Tecno is probably jumping the “Phantom 7” because there has been a lot of 8’s this year, looking at the Samsung Galaxy S8, as well as the iPhone 8. It definitely makes sense to be at par with the big guys.

With the launch of the Phantom and Phantom 8 Plus, let’s look at some of the specs we should be expecting on the two phones.

Are you ready for the two phones? Well, Tecno will officially unveil them on 22nd October 2017. The wait may soon be over.

Tecno Mobile is one of the top smartphone manufactures in Ghana. Although a Chinese based company, they produce smartphones, tablets and feature phones that are not “Chinese Like”. Phones that are produced by this company are mostly standard or low-priced compared to their competitors.
