Tecno, today the 14th of June, 2016, launched the much anticipated Tecno Camon C9 which is a successor to last year’s C8.
While we have often talked on the Tecno Camon C9 and even shared specs and images of what the device looks like, this information herein may perhaps, not seem new.
The images we earlier disclosed, was accurate as the Tecno Camon C9 isn’t different in terms of design. Specs wise, we are also on ‘fleak’. However, while our first report had it that the device ‘may’ sport a fingerprint sensor, that wasn’t didn’t come to realization. Instead, the Camon C9 features an iris scanner.
