Tecno has officially announced the Camon 19-series in Kenya just as promised. There are a total of four smartphones in the series, but three of the models made it to the country.
These includes the vanilla Camon 19, Camon 19 Pro and the Camon 19 Pro 5G. The launch event was also joined with the official arrival of the Spark 9-series in the country.
The Camon are the company’s camera centric lineups, and with the Camon 19-series, Tecno took the camera prowess of the Camon lineup to a new level. It is also worth nothing that this is the very first time Tecno introduced a 5G enabled device under the Camon lineup.
So far, Tecno has two 5G smartphones, the Camon 19 Pro 5G, and then, the POVA 5G. We know the company is also working on the POVA Neo 5G, but no official confirmations from Tecno yet.
And like we’ve mentioned in other previous articles, if you are planning on getting the Camon 19 for it camera abilities, you might want to pick the 19 Pro 4G model instead of it 5G counterpart.
The 4G model does not only come with a more pocket-friendly price tag, but it offers the best camera setup of all the three. This is due to an additional 50-megapixel portrait sensor, with up to 2x optical zoom.
This lens is an equivalent of 50 millimeter lens, which is where the whole portrait gymnastics of the Camon 19-series lies. The lens is however absent on the Pro 5G model, as well as other models of the 19-series, save for the Pro 4G.
