    Tecno Camon CX Air (2017) in Ghana, Kenya, Nigeria: Buy, Swap, Price, Specs

    The Tecno Camon CX Air is a downgraded version of the Tecno Camon CX. It features slightly lower Camera capabilities and a downgrade in the processor as well. It, however, has the same screen size of the CX.

    The 13 megapixels front camera of the Tecno Camon CX Air is a good way to look at the phone, coupled with an excellent processor, a 1.5GHz quad-core Processor, MediaTek MT6570T.

    The Tecno CSeries are a family of camera-focused phones; but they do good on productivity and the Tecno CX Air, although a downgrade on the Tecno Camon CX,  fits the bill for a phone for the African Market.
