Design and build quality
Tecno Camon i has a crowd pleasing design and is available in a midnight black color,blue and gold. It has a plastic body but feels good on hands. The corners are rounded and the side edges smooth. The device is ergonomic with a tall boy design which is in trend now. The antenna lines are at the edges of the top and bottom. The rear has the 13-megapixel rear camera and 5P lens at the top corner and fingerprint sensor in the middle, with the Tecno branding a little below.
Display
The front has the on-screen navigation buttons at the chin and there is the 13MP selfie camera, LED flash, earpiece grille and sensors at the forehead. The bezels are very less as is the design trend now.
Software
Tecno Camon i runs on Android 7.0 Nougat with their own HiOS UI topping it. There is no app drawer. The HiUI brings few changes and additions to the stock android. The home page has a power widget that give you the estimated usage time left and the power remaining and also has a quick toggle to shift to ultra power mode, if your battery juice is running low. You can choose to remove the widget, if you want to and alternatively opt to enable the ultra low power mode from the power saving management settings. There are few add-on features in the micro intelligence settings like flip to music, gesture actions for music control, option to silence the incoming call by covering the screen, three finger screenshot and gesture actions to launch apps directly.Fingerprint Sensor
The rear placed fingerprint sensor responds good with good accuracy and is fairly fast in unlocking the phone. It supports app lock and also includes some touch gestures on the sensor area to take photo and accept incoming calls.Performance
Tecno Camon i is powered by MediaTek MT6735 chipset clocked at 1.3Ghz paired with a 3GB RAM and 32GB of internal storage. The processor may not be a sizzler but can take you through the daily usual tasks for most. If you are a gamer though, this might be a bit of an underpeformer when it comes to handling heavy games. Otherwise, it works well for most tasks. It supports split screen. Call quality is good and the speaker is loud enough too. Camon i lacks gyroscope sensor, so if you intend to play VR apps you might be disappointed.Camera
