Let us look inside the box of a Camon X.

This has ensured there is no button or feature on the left side of the phone.

Price

Rumours say ₦58,900, but there is no official price as it is not yet on sale. Our price projections for the Tecno Camon X is somewhere between ₦60,000 to ₦70,000. Until it is available, buyers can however pre-order it on Slot for ₦2,000.

First impressions

There is surely a lot of hype around the Tecno Camon X and from what I see, it is not disappointing on many physical ends.

I liked holding the phone; it felt right to touch. The sleek lightweight design and marvelous cameras Tecno promised us are any smartphone user's dream.

But a few days of review will reveal how well these stacked specs play out in real world use cases. Until then, the Tecno Camon X looks like an excitingly good deal from what I see.
