The latest smartphones in the Tecno Camon series are now available in the Philippines, with the top-end Tecno Camon 18 Premier launching alongside the Tecno Camon 18P and Tecno Camon 18. If you’re not familiar, the Camon is the company’s camera-focused lineup, boasting improved camera specs and features than most other Tecno models.

And although the latter doesn’t have the impressive gimbal camera of the Camon 18 Premier to allow for smoother footage and better night shots, the Camon 18 includes a triple-camera system at the back headlined by a 48-megapixel image sensor. That’s on top of a 6.8-inch FHD+ screen with a 90Hz refresh rate; a 5,000mAh battery that supports 18-watt fast charging; and a Helio G88 chipset from MediaTek.
