Tecno launched its
latest smartphone Camon 18 some time back. We used this phone for a long time.
Here we are telling you the review of Tecno Camon 18. With this you will be
able to know whether this phone is worth buying or not.
First of all let's
talk about the design of Tecno Camon 18. Its design is quite good in this
budget. We really liked the glossy finish of this phone. Its design will give
you a premium phone feel. However, many people prefer the matte finish.
Curved edge has been
given in this device which provides firm grip. Triple camera setup has been
given in its rear. Its camera setup design will remind you of OPPO's phone. Its
bottom has a USB C port, speaker grille and a 3.5mm headphone jack.

Display
Talking about the display, Tecno Camon 18 has a 6.8-inch FHD + IPS LCD screen. Here its refresh rate will disappoint you. It has a 60Hz refresh rate. Now 90Hz refresh rate display is also given in many budget smartphones. Because of this we were a bit disappointed here.
We did not face any problem when using the Tecno Camon 18 even in sunlight. However, the colors given in it looked a bit dull. If you like watching OTT content, then WideVine L1 certification is not given in it. With this you will not be able to watch the content in HD resolution.

Camera
You can give good marks to this phone in terms of camera photography. Its photography impressed us a lot. The 48-megapixel camera given in it does its job well. Even you will be able to do good photography in low-light. Its focus is also very good. Due to its depth focus detection, the background gets blurred properly. Apart from the 2-megapixel depth sensor, an AI lens has also been given in it. It adjusts the saturation level according to the scene.
Many modes have been given in it. Content creators will like this special because in this you can create content directly from the phone camera with the given mode. Talking about selfies, a 48-megapixel camera with flash is also given in its front.

The phone is fine for normal use. If you want to do heavy gaming or do multitasking, then the UI of the phone can be a fridge. In heavy games, we tried BGMI on it on low-graphics setting. It started getting hit only after playing the game for some time on the phone.

But, if you use it for work like WhatsApp, Facebook, calling, video, then you will not have any complaint about it. You will not face any problem like call drop in the phone. The sound coming from its speaker is also fine.
Battery
Tecno Camon
18 has a 5,000mAh battery with 18W fast charging support. The phone can be
fully charged in about one and a half hours. If you use this phone for social
media, browsing, video content, calling, then its battery will support you all
day.
Bottom Line
You can take
Tecno Camon 18 for the camera in the segment of Rs 15,000. With this, the
company is giving free earbuds worth Rs 1,999. However, this cannot be
considered good for gaming. But, if you want a budget smartphone for daily use
and taking photos, then you can go with this phone.
