Taking a selfie with a 13MP front camera is a dream I will love to see in reality. And Tecno is making it a reality with the release of its Camon C9 Android based smart phone today. I have anxiously awaited the arrival of this new Tecno phone before deciding whether to buy the Camon C9 or the J8 Boom. With what I say today, the new C9, currently available for Nigerians to buy from Konga online store is the phone to beat.

13MP Front and Back Camera

Both the front camera and the rear camera have pixel resolutions of 13MP each. The 120° wide angle 13MP front camera takes wider views of images and perfect for selfies than the Infinix Hot 3. Its 5P lens reflects true colors and helps in making the final image more natural. The front camera is centered, which allows capturing images from a natural angle, just as the rear camera of the Tecno Camon C9 as well. The front camera has a 120° panoramic view and can conveniently shoots 10 people together.

As an upgrade to the Camon C8, CamonC9 has one more lens. This lens helps to filters 50% more parasitic light and hence the phone has a 16% improvement in color reproduction.

8 Natura Makeup Styles are available to beautify pictures. 6 Options are provided to edit pictures, including filter, rotating, cutting, blurring, moderating and mosaic.

Eye Scanner

The Tecno CamonC9 is equipped with bio-metric iris recognition sensor technology that quickly scans your iris to unlock your phone easily and securely. I have tried using this with my last Infinix but wasn’t satisfied with the way it works. A friend was able to unlock my phone then. With the C9, it is for your eyes only.

Octa-core, 2GB RAM

CamonC9 comes with 8-core, enable you to enjoy functionality like better multitasking and pushing the phone to higher limits. The 2GB RAM will allow you to run HD games and other heavy applications without the phone lagging. I guess it is time to download my Car Race games again.
