Tecno Camon 17

Overview

With the end of its little break, Tecno now has plans to launch the Tecno Camon 17 sooner than you think. This so-called refresh of the Tecno 16 happens to target the budget segment and could possibly be priced similarly. "So-called" because it doesn't quite seem like an upgrade or a refresh. The only change that we would reportedly be witnessing is the use of an IPS LCD panel instead of a TFT one, as was seen with the Camon 16. With that being said, the device is likely to feature a large 5000mAh battery, a great camera setup, an Helio G70 chipset, and more. 

Design and Display

The Tecno Camon 17 will reportedly feature a 6.8 inch IPS LCD display having a resolution of 720 x 1600 pixels and a pixel density of 258ppi. The display is supposed to sport a bezel-less punch-hole design which could have an aspect ratio of 20.5:9.

Cameras

The cameras in here are apparently going to be the most interesting segment. Tecno Camon 17 is expected to house a triple rear camera setup that would probably consist of a  64MP primary sensor and two other sensors of 2MP each. An LED flash is also likely to make it on the back. Moving ahead, the device will most probably ship with a 16MP selfie shooter on the front. The camera might support a bunch of features like Auto Flash, Auto Focus, Bokeh Effect, Continuos Shooting, Exposure compensation, Face detection, Geo tagging, High Dynamic Range mode (HDR), ISO control, Touch to focus, White balance presets.

Battery and Performance

The Tecno Camon 17 is tipped to be baked with the same MediaTek Helio G70 octa-core chipset that powered the Camon 16. The SoC comes embedded with a Mali-G52 MC2 GPU. The device will probably get 4GB of RAM and 64GB of inbuilt storage. The storage can again be expanded by upto 256GB. The device is most likely to have a large 5000mAh Li-ion battery. It will allegedly have fast charging support too making it even better.

Software and Connectivity

Tecno Camon 17 will possibly run MiFavor UI on top of Android 11 out of the box. For connectivity, the smartphone will apparently have options like dual sim VoLTE(Nano + Nano), Wi-Fi 802.11, b/g/n, GPS, and Bluetooth 5.0. Additionally, the smartphone could pack in a microUSB 2.0 port, a 3.5mm headphone jack, and a rear-mounted fingerprint sensor as well.
