Tecno Camon 17P Review

Tecno continues to expand its smartphone range in South Africa. Recently, it launched the Spark 7 and Spark 7 Pro, followed by the Camon 17P.

All its devices focus on providing affordable prices, but the Camon 17P, a flagship device, focuses on a more premium experience.

We spent some time with the smartphone and here’s what we found…

Design

When it comes to its design, the Camon 17P has these amazing features that make it one of our favorite smartphone designs of the year.

It comes with the bezels and flat display expected of a mid-range device, but its 6.8-inch display fits into a relatively tall and thin form factor.

Our device comes with a green cover and slim golden camera housing, a unique and attractive color option. Meanwhile, the Camon name is engraved on the back of the device.

This unexpected but attractive design gives it a more premium feel than expected. It feels solid in the hand without the cheap plastic feel of some affordable devices.

Performance and Battery

The smartphone performs admirably in daily tasks. Custom OS is a bit overwhelming if you’re used to a more streamlined skin, but it gives you tons of customization options and the ability to change a lot of settings.

The display has a 90Hz refresh rate, which gives it a smooth feel while scrolling through various apps and menus.

When it came to playing various games and using apps, we didn’t struggle with app crashes or significant lag. It worked as expected for an R5000 device.

Even after copying multiple apps, the phone continued to launch apps smoothly without noticeable lag.

With the PCMark test for Android benchmark, it scored 8335 in the Work 3.0 performance test. It tests its performance on a range of devices like Poco M3 Pro and Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite.

In terms of its battery life, the Camon 17P really stands out. When leaving the phone on standby, it barely drains. I often expect the device to be switched off only to find it has a significant amount of battery left.

In the PCMark battery test, it lasted 12 hours 35 minutes. This means that at 50% brightness, it was able to run through tasks and video clips with its screen on continuously for that time and only using 80% of its battery power.

If you are looking for a device that offers a long battery life, this is definitely one of them.

Tecno Camon 17P Camera

Camon 17P camera performs capably, especially for a device in its price range.

The quad main camera of the smartphone has a 64MP main lens, which includes a 2MP bokeh lens, 2MP macro lens and an AI lens.

It’s great at picking out detail, though images seem to come out with a warmer tone than expected. In high resolution mode, the camera definitely struggles with light balance — bright areas look a bit over-exposed.

But considering its price, it performs well, especially in normal Auto AI mode with HDR enabled.

Its macro mode is also great for picking out tiny details in the right conditions — when your subject is still and the lighting is just right.

I’d say it’s overshadowed by the likes of the Redmi Note 10 Pro for its main camera, but otherwise it does a great job for the price of a device.

When it comes to selfies, one of the features that Tecno highlights, you definitely get a lot more control over your snaps with this camera than most phones.

Beauty mode lets you customize which filters you want to apply to the phone, rather than sticking to a one-size-fits-all approach.

This means if you want to turn off skin lightening in Beauty mode, you can. You can also change settings like eye and chin adjustments.

While this may not seem like a big deal if you’re not a frequent selfie user, it helps make the beauty feature more inclusive for different regions of the world. This can give users more control over beauty filters, or allow them to turn off the beauty feature entirely if they want to go with a filter-free option instead.

Camon 17P Review Verdict

The Camon 17P is another great addition to the South African mid-range market.

Users are looking for devices that balance affordability and value for money, and this year we see local consumers getting a lot more choice and competition.

Although you have to deal with a slightly bloated OS and the main camera has challenges in certain lighting conditions, it’s a well-rounded device at a great price, with a really cool design.
