It’s not very usual for Tecno’s devices to feature in the rumoured category but this one is an exception. Probably because it’s gonna be a big hit. I mean, a very big hit. The specs being rolled out concerning this device is telling us that the year 2018 won’t be giving birth to much dullphones – we’ve seen the Camon CM and Infinix Hot S3 already – especially since the advent of infinity screen (bezel-less display) and the 18:9 aspect ratio which is now the display standard.
The confusing part however is the fact that it is said to be coming in the Camon series, rumoured to be Camon X actually (that’s very much unlikely). This is so because the Camon CX was released less than a year ago, the Camon CM was dropped just early this year and without any recent device in other series, the Camon will be updated again, that has never happened before. But since the news around says it’s a Camon, then Camon it is.
