TECNO Camon X and XPro: All About the Selfie Game

TECNO Camon X Pro

Not to be confused with the Camon CX series, the new Tecno Camon X series was obviously built with selfie addicts in mind. I mean, why else would anyone put a 24-megapixel front camera on a smartphone?

CAMON XPRO

According to Philex Meng, Chief Marketing Officer Tecno Mobile, it goes even beyond the megapixels.

Tecno F Series: Go-power!

Tecno also announced the F series — Tecno F1, Tecno F2 and Tecno POP1 (aka F3) — as their new entry-level models, which leverage the Android Oreo (Go edition).
