Tecno Camon 12 Air, Tecno Camon 12, and Tecno Camon 12 Pro are Android-based smartphones manufactured, released, and marketed by the Chinese company Tecno Mobile as part of Tecno Camon 12 series. The device were unveiled during an event held on 5 September, 2019 in Lagos, Nigeria, as successors to Tecno Camon 11 and Tecno Camon 11 Pro.[4] It is the sixth generation of Tecno's Camon series of smartphones.[5]

The Camon 12 Air, Camon 12, and Camon 12 Pro batch is an upgraded version of Camon 11 batch, coming with the same CPU. These phones generally come with different features, including the OS, RAM, display size, aspect ratio, and battery capacity.[6]

The Camon 12 Pro has received generally favorable reviews, with critics mostly noting the good camera, shooting functions, storage capacity, build quality, and the in-display fingerprint sensor scanner.[7][8] Critics, however, still criticize the lack of software update, full HD display, fast charging, and USB Type-C port.[9]

Specifications

Hardware

The Camon 12 Air, Camon 12 and Camon 12 Pro all feature a 720p resolution display with a 20:9 aspect ratio; the Camon 12 Air has 6.55-inch IPS Dot-in display, making it the first Tecno device to come with a dot in-display front camera (punch hole), the Camon 12 has 6.52 inches IPS Infinity-V display, while the Camon 12 Pro has 6.4-inch AMOLED Infinity-U display, looking so identical like the Tecno Phantom 9.[10][11][12]

The Camon 12 Air has two versions, the African version comes with 3 GB of RAM, while the Asian version comes with 4 GB of RAM.[15][16][17] The Camon 12 comes with 4 GB of RAM, while the Camon 12 Pro comes with 6 GB of RAM.[18][19]

Reception

Victor Oloo from Dignited gave the Camon 12 a score of 8/10, describing the performance as decent and praising the camera and the battery. However, he noted that the device is a good upgrade on the Camon 11.[32]

Saruni Maina from Gadgets Africa praised its performance, camera, size, and looks but criticized that it takes too long to charge. He went further to state that it scratches way too easily, and it's a boring phone. In his opinion, the software of the phone is bad while the Camon 12 Pro and Camon 12 Air are better alternatives.[33]

Remmegious Ssewankambo from Techjaja gave the Camon 12 a score of 3.7/5, stating that it stands up pretty well to its promise but not without shortcomings. He, however, noted that even though it has a plastic design here and there, with a low-res display, it's still a worthwhile upgrade from the Camon 11.[34]

Dickson Otieno from Tech-ish rated the Camon 12 3.5/5 for its beautiful design, display quality, and the overall feel on the hand. He, too, says that the software needs to be improved.[35]

Dolapo Iyunade from TechCity gave the Camon 12 a score of 7.6/10, stating that the camera really stands out. She opined further that the device packages high-end features, even though it sells for a lower price.[36]

Udoka Chiefe from Techpoint praised the Camon 12 Pro for its selfie camera and 6 GB of RAM, stating that the RAM helps in the smooth navigation of the device. She praised the memory space, speakers, and the battery but criticized the security of the device and the many ads on the phone, stating that it's left much to be desired.[37]
