The Tecno brand operates mainly in Africa, Southeast Asia, and Latin America. The phones are, hence, created in a rather locally-tailored mode and often aim to achieve the best possible value and lowest price point. A swift look at Tecno official website and you will see that they are not idle with development. They’ve started regularly coming up in the mobile global radar, and the Camon 16 Premier is the first Tecno device to officially make it to the grounds for a full review checkup. So before you buy this Tecno phone in Ghana, check the specifications.
The phone comes with a variety of eye-pleasing body appearances. Out of the box, you find remarkable designs with Glacial Silver. For the gaming enthusiast, the phone runs Android 10 mixed with Tecno Hios 6.0 proprietary software on top of a high powered MediaTek Helio G90T OctaCore processor clocked at 2 x 2.05GHz with Mali-G76 MC4 1080 x 2340px display with a 90Hz refresh rate.
The manufacturers of Tecno Camon 16 Premier didn’t end there. The selfie lovers were also blessed with a whooping 48MP wide Camera with dual LED flash for snap and gram. And if you are a Vlogger or Youtuber, the 4K @ 30 frames per second with a gyro-EIS rear camera will truly take your video to the next level.
And for those who need more space and are very frequent in their mobility, the 128GB of storage and 8GB of RAM that sit on 4500mh with fast charging capabilities can enjoy ultimate music on the go for the rest of the day. If you care about your privacy, the easy to use high accurate fingerprint sensor is far more than enough to keep your files and document safe. check the detailed specs below:

The Review
Tecno Camon 16 Premier
How the Tecno Camon 16 Premier is created and customized appears pretty specific and almost foreign from a global phone market. As such, it is relatively difficult to really outright recommend it without comparing it to others. If you are in Ghana the Tecno Camon 16 Premier is worth the price.
PROS
- Sturdy plastic build and eye-catching with catchy design and color options.
- The phone is cheap
- Snappy fingerprint reader, 3.5mm jack, two SIM slots and a microSD one.
- Optimal performance is extracted from the MediaTek Helio G90T chipset. Does not heat up nearly as much as the Infinix Zero 8.

- 48MP camera for Selfie with Top-notch EIS stabilization
CONS
- Slow-pixel response time, but still noticeably better and sharper at 90Hz than the Infinix Zero 8.
