Tecno Camon CM (2018): Specs, Price, Features & All you need to know
The Tecno Camon CM features the new cool: an 18:9 screen ratio.
Tecno Camon CM (CMore or C11) is officially the first device from Tecno Mobile to feature the 18:9 aspect ratio. The 18:9 aspect ratio is the new cool in the smartphone industry. And although fans of Tecno were expecting a bezel-less phone, per teasing photos released by Tecno, that didn’t happen with the Camon CM.

Features of the Tecno Camon CM
First ever 18:9 aspect ratio on a Tecno Phone
What’s so special about the 18:9 ratio? Well, regular smartphones (like the Tecno Camon CX and the Hisense King Kong 2) come with the widely accepted 16:9 screen ratio. This meant that the left and right sides, as well as the top and bottom of the phone, would have bezels. But with the 18:9 ratio, manufacturers are able to achieve a larger display on a comparatively smaller body.
Tecno managed to bring the 18:9 aspect ratio, but with very significant bezels. This did not go well with a lot of their fans who expressed a lot of dissatisfaction on their Facebook page.
Improved Camera Experience
As a Camon phone, the one area Tecno cannot compromise on is the Camera section. True to the spirit of a Camon phone, the Tecno Camon CM comes with a 13 megapixels front-facing camera and another 13 megapixels rear camera. Both the front and rear cameras have LED flash.
The LED flash at the rear of the phone packs enough brightness to be used as a torchlight. Generally and for accessibility options, users of the phone can use it as a notification indicator.
Processing Power, RAM and Storage
Just like any other Tecno Phone, The CM is packed with a quad-core processor functioning with the MediaTek MT6737 chipset. The processor can reach speeds of 1.25 Gigahertz. Although scanty on the ram side, with just 2GB, it is still enough and manageable to use the CM without any visible lagging (freezing).
The phone also comes with 16GB Storage space, but there is an option to upgrade this via an SD Card to 128 GB. The combination of processor, ram and storage is enough to keep the phone running for all average users. If you need more processing power, I suggest you get the Tecno Phantom 8 or wait for the next Phantom phone, which is likely to be released in the last quarter of 2018.
