Features of Tecno Camon 16 Premier
Camera
At the rear of the Camon 16 is the 64 MP Sony IMX686 main sensor camera, which together with the 8 MP ultrawide-angle camera, and two 2 MP cameras complete the quad setup.
Tecno Mobile has set up the camera in a way to make it an all rounder. It is not only good for general photography, but also takes above average night photos and Portraits.
Some very notable new features of the camera are:
- AI Beautification for the perfect Dark Skin
- a 119° Anti-distortion Super Wide Angle Rear Lens
- Intelligent Recognition, Automatic Switching 105°Ultra, Wide Angle Mode
- Ultra Night Portrait
- 10X Hybrid Zoom
- Super HIS Aerial-camera-level Stabilization
- 4K Video
Battery
The Camon 16 Premier is powered by a 4500mAh battery, an upgrade over it’s predecessor.
The phone should be able to take advantage of Android 10’s good power management system and it appears Tecno will this time look at the software side of things when it comes to power management – hello HiOS.
Also, since the phone supports 33W fast-charging, you will not have to worry about overnight charging. According to Tecno, 33W flash charge greatly cuts down the charging time – 30 minutes charging reaches to 70% power.
Performance
The Camon 16 Premier runs on the MTK G90T chipset. This is as close as a chipset can get to the flagship line in MediaTek chips.
Some AnTuTu tests have given the MediaTek Helio G90T a total score of around 280,000 points. This puts it at a level higher than the Snapdragon 730G.
What these results mean is that the Camon 16 should be able to run a lot of your multi tasking needs and will also be good with gaming.
Coupled with the 8GB of RAM, the smartphone is set to be very usable – less lag, more performance, more multitasking.
