Our in-house ‘techie’ Boses Muhinda contends that the Camon C9 comes with 13MP dual front camera which will be able to capture breath-taking selfie photos and could be the best selfie camera phone to be released in 2016. The image has dual flash which will be the first in the industry.
Camon C9 can be turned inside out. It also means that the back camera will be able to adjust different angles to take pictures. Actually Nigerian blogger Tonia Soares intimated to this website that the C9 can shoot up to a ten-man spread group selfie in a single shoot – no off-frames! All thanks to a masterful lens grinding and coaxial 6P lens technology.
With the current breakups in Uganda caused by lack of privacy when it comes to lovers’ phones, the new C-series Tecno Camon C9 is also anticipated to have a fingerprint recognition scanner embedded just below the rear camera.
C9 is built with a big 5.5-inch display screen with HD resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels and 267 pixels per inch (PPI). It features the 4G network connectivity and dual sim slot. With the big IPS screen, every color jumps out from the screen, images are more defined and videos sharper. 16:9 aspect ratio increases the width of the view, which makes you watch more comfortably.
Ugandan ladies will mostly love the C9 for not only its good look and big screen but the smartphone hardware. It is also something to boast about featuring the 64bit octa-core processor clocked at 1.7GHz that can keep all their selfie photos and Snapchat videos securely. Added is a 2GB RAM and Android 6.0 Marshmallow which makes it handle tasks quickly, orderly and fully.
The biggest feature that everyone should be looking for in the latest Camon is the competent 3000mAh high-density rechargeable battery that is expected to last long up to 2 days.
