Latest CAMON 16 Premier Beats Competitors to Lead the Industry

As smartphones are becoming increasingly integrated into our everyday lives, it is essential to choose one that fits your lifestyles and your needs. Every mobile phone brand is trying to stand out from the rest by upgrading their technology and introducing new functions; however, the best way to measure their value is through their performance side by side. Today, we have selected three android phones for comparison: the TECNO CAMON 16 Premier, Huawei Y9 (2019), and Samsung A41.

Mobile phone screen design

While the three phones consider the different needs of users, they differ quite a lot when it comes to design. TECNO focused on the user’s convenience and has shifted its fingerprint scanner to the side so that it will be easier to gain access to the phone. This was a good move on TECNO’s part as it was a concern when we tested Huawei’s Y9 (2019) that was rear-mounted. This stopped me from unlocking the phone accidentally every time my fingers brushed the scanner. The CAMON 16 Premier also opens faster and is extremely convenient to do so, so much so that it felt intuitive after a while. The unlocking time of CAMON 16 Premier is less than a second, and this is a marked improvement from even their own CAMON 15. This allows users to save time over minute actions, making the Samsung A41 and Huawei Y9 (2019) appear inferior. It seems that TECNO has done a lot of user research on this aspect, and the attention to detail made us feel very good about the CAMON 16 Premier.

In terms of screen size, which is a crucial consideration for users today, the TECNO CAMON 16 Premier takes the lead with its display with over 6.85” of high-resolution screen while 6.53FHD hole screen on Samsung A41 and 6.59”FHD notch on Huawei Y9 (2019). This is the real estate for users to watch their favorite TV shows or make video calls, users can enjoy greater visual details. The bigger screen is more comfortable to watch for extended periods, allowing users more considerable viewing time before getting tired. The CAMON 16 truly shines when users watch their favorite high-resolution videos. The widescreen works in perfect sync with the 90Hz ultra-clear resolution, so users do not have to strain their eyes to enjoy a high quality viewing experience.

Camera function – front and rear cameras

The camera qualities of a phone have become a clear determining factor for users when it comes to buying a phone. After much consideration, the TECNO CAMON 16 Premier once again stands out with their ultra-clear visuals that reflect what you see with your eyes. It boasts a 64MP ultra quad-camera while the Huawei Y9 (2019) only has a rear camera of 13MP. The Samsung A41 comes a little closer with a 48MP triple rear camera and a panorama function but still shy of the quality that CAMON 16 Premier can produce.

TECNO’s CAMON series has always been notable for its superior camera and photography capabilities. They put the user’s needs first and develop technology around that, bringing the user an unprecedented clear photography experience. Each camera lens has its mission and an outstanding feature, genuinely living up to their expectations that each picture could be a masterpiece. Based on the MTK flagship-level G90T core chip, the CAMON 16 Premier supports 64MP full-size output. As we understand, this is an industry-first, and not many phones can compete with this configuration. With five rear flashes, the user can get clear and bright photos regardless of the darkness of their environment.

Camera function – anti-shake function

Clear photos will always be a priority when shooting. TECNO CAMON 16 Premier uses the Super Hybrid Video Anti-Shake (Super HIS) to stabilize and has produced fantastic photography results. Another advantage is that it supports 960 frames of super slow-motion shooting, thus expanding the potential of video shooting exponentially. The CAMON 16 Premier’s 8Gb of RAM aslo helps tremendously in accelerating the video processing time.

It seems to us that the TECNO CAMON 16 Premier is not merely a phone but a professional camera integrated with many other easy-to-use phone functions. These functions ensure the users get the best photo quality everywhere, every time. It is impressive that TECNO managed to fit something of this quality into a mobile phone.

Battery life

Battery life is a significant feature that determines how long your phone can last while you complete your tasks. The TECNO CAMON 16 Premier has a 4500mAh battery and a quick charge of up to 70% in just 30 minutes. This is an upgrade compared to the smaller 4000mAh and 3500mAh capacity of Huawei Y9 (2019) and Samsung A41. Furthermore, the user’s safety is TECNO’s priority as CAMON 16 Premier comes with its newest safety features. TECNO has engineered the CAMON 16 to reduce overheating during fast-charge and lowered the surface temperature by two degrees. It does this while simultaneously offering two types of charging options as CAMON 16 Premier has managed to even add a Type-C fast charging capability inside its lithe frame.

This is complemented with another safety function that automatically shuts the phone down when the battery is fully charged. This is a breakthrough in the industry, TECNO has integrated into the CAMON 16 Premier to better protect the mobile phone and the user.

The promising future of AR

One critical measure of a good smartphone is how they approach new technology. In this aspect, TECNO’s CAMON 16 Premier is already off to a strong start with its unique AR Graffiti function that Huawei Y9 (2019) and Samsung A41 do not have. This new function gives users the ability to unleash their creativity digitally and re-imagine their surroundings. The AR Graffiti function has countless brushes and unlimited colors that you can use to customize your photos. This took us by surprise because it is something refreshing on the market, and also we had a lot of fun playing around with this technology.

To make it even better, TECNO CAMON 16 Premier also has other complimentary AR features. AR Sticker and AR Emoji, for example, allows users to interact in many creative ways. The features will enable you to capture any expression you want with over 200 facial features available. This technology also includes light beautification and localization features to make sure you look your best, even in AR. We know AR in smartphones is still an experimental technology, but if this is the direction that it is going to be in the future, then we think the CAMON 16 Premier will become popular very fast.

After reviewing so many functions, the clear winner amongst these three phones is clearly TECNO’s CAMON 16 Premier. TECNO has not only continually integrated advanced technologies into their products, but also makes sure they are an economical product. The CAMON 16 Premier offers outstanding value for money, which is only one of the many other benefits that this phone offers.

Nigeria’s OPay Valuation Hits $2.7 Billion Amid Digital Payments Surge

Published

on

Opay

Nigeria’s OPay, the fintech startup that has been making waves in the country’s digital payments landscape, has seen its valuation soar to $2.7 billion.

This represents over 30% since its Series C funding round in 2021.

This surge in valuation shows the exponential growth of Nigeria’s digital payments sector and the increasing prominence of financial technology companies within the nation’s economy.

The valuation update comes from recent corporate filings made by Opera, an early investor in OPay. Opera’s stake in OPay gradually declined over the years to 6.4% by 2021.

However, a strategic move in early 2023 saw Opera increase its stake to 9.4% after selling its Asian fintech subsidiary, Nanobank, to OPay in exchange for equity in the company.

According to filings with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), Opera valued its 9.4% stake in OPay at $253 million, reflecting the $2.7 billion valuation of the fintech startup.

OPay’s meteoric rise can be attributed to several factors, including Nigeria’s increasing adoption of digital payments and the company’s innovative services.

The surge in digital payments volumes, driven in part by an ill-timed currency redesign that led to cash scarcity, has propelled OPay’s growth.

As more Nigerians turned to fintech apps like OPay for transactions, the company experienced a quadrupling of its user base in 2023, accompanied by a revenue growth of over 60% on a constant currency basis, according to Opera.

Despite its rapid growth, OPay, like other fintech companies, faces challenges related to fraud and customer safety concerns.

Regulatory bodies, including the Central Bank of Nigeria, have tightened rules on account safety, highlighting the need for OPay and similar companies to address these issues while continuing to innovate and expand their services.

As Nigeria’s digital payments ecosystem continues to evolve, OPay’s rising valuation underscores its position as a key player in driving financial inclusion and transforming the country’s economy through innovative technology solutions.

ALTON and ATCON Call for Tariff Review and Regulatory Independence

Published

telecommunication-tower

The Association of Licensed Telecoms Operators of Nigeria (ALTON) and The Association of Telecommunications Companies of Nigeria (ATCON), representing Mobile Network Operators (MNOs) and telecommunication firms in Nigeria, have jointly raised concerns over the current state of the telecom industry.

In a unified call to action, they have urged the federal government to address critical issues such as tariff review and regulatory independence to ensure the sector’s sustainability and growth.

Despite facing significant economic challenges, Nigeria’s telecommunications industry has not adjusted its general service pricing framework upwards in over a decade.

ALTON and ATCON attribute this stagnation to regulatory constraints that have hindered the industry’s ability to align pricing with economic realities.

They argue that the current price control mechanism, which does not reflect market conditions, poses a threat to the sector’s viability and investor confidence.

In a statement released over the weekend and jointly signed by ALTON Chairman Gbenga Adebayo and ATCON President Tony Izuagbe Emoekpere, the associations highlighted a range of challenges plaguing the telecom sector.

These include unsustainable tariff structures, lack of regulatory independence, infrastructure deficits, a harsh business environment, multiple taxation and regulations, prohibitive Right of Way (RoW) charges, inadequate power supply, and vandalism of telecommunications infrastructure.

The industry leaders stressed the urgent need for collaborative efforts between the public and private sectors to overcome these obstacles.

They called for constructive dialogue with industry stakeholders to address pricing challenges and establish a framework that balances consumers’ affordability with operators’ financial viability.

Furthermore, ALTON and ATCON emphasized the importance of regulatory independence in fostering a conducive environment for the telecom sector.

They advocated for the sustenance of a culture of independence within the regulatory landscape to safeguard against undue influence and ensure the impartiality of regulatory decisions. Regulatory neutrality and independence, they argued, are crucial for maintaining public confidence and encouraging investment in the sector.

ALTON and ATCON reaffirmed their commitment to working collaboratively with the government to address the challenges facing Nigeria’s telecommunications industry.

They urged the government to prioritize infrastructure development, enhance security measures, and facilitate pricing adjustments to unlock the sector’s full potential.

The call by ALTON and ATCON underscores the pressing need for regulatory reforms and policy interventions to drive sustainable growth and development in Nigeria’s telecom sector.

As stakeholders await government action, the industry remains hopeful that concerted efforts will pave the way for a more resilient and competitive telecommunications landscape.
