The Tecno Camon 12 is the latest release in the brand’s camera smartphone series and from the little time we’ve spent with it since it came onto the market, we just keep falling in love. There’s this thing about camera smartphones that drives you into capturing every other moment you spend with them, regardless of whether the images are yours or someone else’s.
The new Camon phone is the direct replacement of last year’s Tecno Camon 11. The predecessor came with the then-hot notch display, a 6.2-inch display, dual rear camera and powerful battery capacity. The new Camon builds on this to come with even better specifications that make it a trend on the market today.
If you read our first impressions, we drove you into what it feels to have the Camon 12 for your very first time, and the experience is worth it. Now, we are going to go into further detail on what it feels to have the best camera smartphone.
Design and Display

These comprise of a primary 16MP camera for AI recognition and HDR; a secondary 8MP that gives you up-to 120-degrees of angular photography and 2cm macro photography; as well as a 2MP secondary sensor for AI bokeh effect.
