The Tecno Camon 17 comes with trademarked Tecno AI Vision Optimisation Solution (TAIVOS) technology which provides users with an unprecedented visual experience especially in low-light environments. TAIVOS can filter image noise better and optimise image clarity, thereby enhancing night photography effects. The Camon 17 is widely regarded as ‘The Clearest Selfie Camera’ in the market today endorsed by none other than on-screen superhero Chris Evans.
The launch took place on 16 July and was livestreamed via Tecno’s official social media channels. The event was graced by a bevy of local celebrities and influencers including actress and model Roshel Rogers, cinematic storyteller CJ and Tech Guru ChanuxBro. Apart from the Camon 17, four new models were launched at the event: Spark 7, Spark 7 Pro, Camon 17 Pro and Pova 2.
ChanuxBro who was the emcee of the event took the audience through his experience with the brand in a comprehensive review; in summation, though a relatively new entrant, he noted that Tecno devices could be positioned alongside any other smartphone brand available in the market today in terms of style and performance.
Actress and model Roshel too shared her thoughts on the Camon 17. Having used it briefly prior to the official launch, she noted that she was pleasantly surprised by the camera quality and other sophistications the device had to offer. Her review was followed by a brief presentation by CJ who also went on to remark about the impressive performance of the camera of Camon 17 showing the audience a picture of Roshel shot via the device.

She cited the affordable price, uncomplicated UI and unparalleled battery life as contributing factors that make Spark 7 Pro the ultimate choice of smartphone for students and teachers alike.

Tecno has been the official ‘tablet and handset partner’ for the Manchester City Football Club since 2016 and holds the Guinness World Record for the ‘Largest Flipbook’ – a project to mark Tecno’s expansion to the African continent in 2018. The record-breaking flip book was the size of a tennis court and comprised of images shot on Camon 17 Pro.
