On October 17, 2019, TECNO launched the Camon 12 Series in Kenya, featuring three phones with varying price points.
The Camon 12 Air, Camon 12, and Camon 12 PRO are now available in TECNO branded shops across the country, with prices starting at KES. 13,499 for the Camon 12 Air, KES. 15,499 for the Camon 12, and KES. 19,499 for the Camon 12 PRO.
Among the three phones, the Camon 12 PRO stands out for its impressive specs, which are comparable to those of the Phantom 9, a high-end device. The Camon 12 PRO boasts 6GB RAM and an under-display fingerprint scanner, making it an attractive option for those seeking a premium experience without the hefty price tag of the Phantom 9.
However, the Camon 12 PRO's 3500mAh battery may be a concern for some users, although the device's AMOLED screen and efficient power management may mitigate this issue. Additionally, the lack of USB type-C and fast charging capabilities may be seen as drawbacks by some.
For those looking for a more affordable option, the Camon 12 Air is a compelling choice, featuring a punch-hole display and good specs at an attractive price point. The Camon 12, with its 4000mAh battery, is another option worth considering.
As the Camon 12 Series hits the market, it will be interesting to see how it competes with other devices, including the Infinix S5, which is expected to offer similar specs at a competitive price.
