Design and Display

Taking a glance at the image of the Tecno Camon 16 Premier, the words that come to mind is “The difference is clear”. Tecno made efforts in the redesign, which will appeal to enthusiasts who weren’t totally satisfied with the design of its predecessor.

This new chassis design features a square camera module on the rear housing quad cameras7 and an LED flash. You will also find the Tecno and Camon branding on the rear indicating its a Tecno smartphone.

Tecno laid waste to the rear-mounted capacitive fingerprint sensor, which is all thanks to the provision that moved it to the side, making it a sound mounted fingerprint sensor.

Speaking of things Tecno laid to waste, the Tecno also ditched the motorized pop-up selfie camera we saw on the Camon 15 Premier and opted for a camera cut-out on the display instead.

Speaking on display, the Tecno Camon 16 Premier features a 6.9-inch IPS LCD display with a screen resolution of 1080 x 2460 Pixels, a density of 374 PPI.

The hallmark of the display numbers is its 90Hz refresh rate, which promises smoother deployment of UI elements.

Color options are a bit restricted on this smartphone, enthusiasts will have to settle for just one color, as it comes only in Glacier silver.

The Cameras

The camera department on smartphones from the Tecno Camon series is undoubtedly the most anticipated feature, due to the impressions we got from previous Tecno Camon smartphones.

This year Tecno is offering enthusiasts a camera combo that comfortably competes with that of some of the top players in the mid-range market. Top players like the Xiaomi Redmi Note 9 Pro.

The Tecno Camon 16 Premier features a quad rear camera setup on the rear that comprises of a 64MP primary camera with an aperture of f/1.9, an 8MP ultrawide camera with an aperture of f/2.3, a 2MP dedicated video camera with an aperture of f/2.4, and a 2MP depth camera.

This camera combo is capable of shooting videos capped at 4K@30fps. It also offers video records at 1080p@30fps and 720p@960fps.

Selfies are manned by a dual front camera setup, which is the first of its kind in the Tecno Camon series. This dual-camera setup comprises of a 48MP primary camera with an aperture of  f/2.2 and an 8MP ultrawide camera with an aperture of f/2.2.

This setup is capable of recording videos capped at 1080p @ 30fps. It is also supported by an LED flash system for brighter results.

Hardware and Software

The Tecno Camon 16 Premier doesn’t just shine as Tecno’s top of the line camera smartphone, but also the most powerful smartphone Tecno has ever created, a true mid-range, something that sounds a bit odd due to the fact that it’s not coming from the phantom series.

Onboard is an Octa-core MediaTek Helio G90T processor, which is the same as what we got on the Xiaomi Redmi Note 8 Pro. It features a Mali-G76 MC4 GPU, 8GB of RAM, 128GB of internal storage, and a non-removable 4500mAh battery.

The icing on the cake is a 33W fast charge mechanism, which promises a 70% charge in 30 mins.

On the software side, we have got the HiOS 7 user interface running on the Android 10 operating system.
