Tecno is on the brink of releasing its Camon 18 series on the heels of the freshly launched Tecno Phantom X. The series comprises the standard Camon 18 paired with the Camon 18 Premier. There are talks about a third Tecno 18 Pro variant as well, although there’s little evidence for it at the moment.

Display & Design

Little about the display specifications of the device is known other than the fact that it will sport an FHD+ resolution of 2400 x 1080 pixels. But judging from its photos, it is safe to assume that the display will be sized over 6.4-inches.

The design of the Tecno Camon 18 series is very similar to the Oppo Reno6 5G due to its near-identical camera module and less rounded edges.

Cameras on the Tecno Camon 18 Series

Tecno has mostly stayed mum about the camera specifications on the soon-to-release series. However, some leaked photos revealed that the phones, or at least one of the models, will be coming with 60x zoom. The zoom will be complemented with Tecno’s proprietary AI TAIVOS technology.

Further, the company’s official Instagram handle recently posted a video showing the Tecno Camon 18 series’ Gimbal camera in action. The Gimbal tech essentially results in super-smooth stabilization.

All in all, the new camera setup is said to capture significantly better photos than its predecessor.

Specifications

The Tecno Camon 18 Premier is going to be the very first phone to be powered with Mediatek’s latest Helio G96 chip. While the processor is fairly powerful and all, it does have one shortcoming – lack of 5G support. It isn’t clear if the processor is standard across the lineup.

As for security, the series will likely come with a side-mounted fingerprint scanner that will be embedded into the power button.

Software

The Tecno Camon 18 series will be booting into Android 11 out of the box layered atop with HiOS 7.6. However, judging from the fact that the company has had an Android 12 Developer Preview Program, Android 12 should be hitting the lineup sometime later.

Colors

Judging from leaked photos, the Tecno Camon 18 series should be coming in blue-gray and light-blue colors, although it may possible that more colors may be revealed later on.

There aren’t any details available about the storage variants that will be coming with the device.

Pricing & Availability

As for the release date, the Camon 18 series will make its entry sometime in October. No details have been made available yet about the pricing or its availability, so we will have to wait for more details for now.
