Unboxing

The Tecno Camon 17 comes in very beautiful and study white books. The books look really sleek and premium. It even has a 3D texture on the Camon text. And it also you will also see some intricate 3D patterns across the entire box. You are greeted by the phone in its glory when you open the box. What you also see is a silicone case for protection, an earpiece, a micro USB 2.0 cable, and an 18 Wattsbrick. There’s already a screen protector pre-installed on the phone.

Design and build

This Tecno Camon17 looks really, really good. You will love the design, and fact that it’s very, very light and sturdy and easy to the hood. It’s also very usable on one hand. It is made for me polycarbonate plastic material, which is not a deal-breaker. On the contrary, it helps improve durability. This phone is available in colors Frost Silver, Deep Sea, and Tranquil Green. Strange why Camon 17 comes with the 48MP camera as opposed to the 64 megapixels on the Camon 16 from the last year 2020. But there is a slightly more powerful chipset here in MediaTek Helio G85. And this device also has a 90Hz refresh rate screen.

Cameras

The back of Tecno Camon 17 has a triple camera module. It consists of an ultra-wide camera. Which is obviously an upgrade from the Camon 16 Series. The main camera of the Camon 17 is now a 48-megapixel sensor down from the 64MP of the aforementioned series. A 2 MP, f/2.4, (depth) lens is available here and a third undeclared lens also.

My guess is that is QVGA. There’s also a fingerprint sensor on the back of this phone just beside the camera module. The Camon 17 has a last 6.55 inches screen. It is a 720P display with a 90 Hz refresh rate. The selfie camera is now an 16-megapixel camera and it’s installed inside the dotted hole at the top left side of the display.

Battery and performance

Tecno Camon 17 has the more powerful MediaTek Helio G85 (12nm) assisted by the Mali-G52 MC2 GPU. You also get 4 gigs of RAM and 128 gigs of internal storage. Again Camon 17 comes with Android 11, with HIOS 7.6. As for the battery, it is a large 5,000 mAh battery with 18W fast charging.
