Design and Display
Chances of getting news designs on smartphones succeeding low budget ones, are pretty much very slim. Everynow and then we see brands like Tecno reminising designs from other smartphones.
Still on the topic of reminiscing designs, the Tecno Camon 16s seems to have taken cues from the Tecno Spark 5 Pro. Both smartphones have a lot in common in terms of chassis design.
Much like the Tecno Spark 5 Pro, you will find a gradient pattern on the rear. On top this gradient pattern design, you will find a vertically arranged camera module, holding four cameras and an LED flash.
Also on the rear, you will find a rear mounted capacitive fingerprint sensor and the Tecno branding, which indicates its a Tecno smartphone.
Moving upfront, you will find a 6.6-inch IPS LCD display, with a punch hole housing the front camera, more on that later. This display has a resolution of 720 x 1600 Pixels.
Enthusiasts who choose to purchase the Tecno Camon 16s will have three color options and they include Ice Jadeite, Misty Grey and Blue Hawaii.

The Cameras
Comparing the Camon 16s to the that of the standard Camon 16 and the more premium Camon 16 Premier reveals a drop in pixels. This is evident in both the rear and front camera sections.
The rear camera of the 16s brandishes a 48MP primary camera, as opposed to the 64MP on the Camon 16 and Camon 16 Premier.
The other members of the rear camera department includes a 2MP depth camera with an aperture of f.24, a 2MP Macro camera with an aperture of f/2.4 and an Ai camera with an aperture of f/3.5.
Moving upfront, we have got a 8MP shooter, which is also lower in pixels, when compared to its more premium siblings.
Hardware and Software
On the performance side, the Tecno Camon 16s drops the Helio G70 processor we have on the Camon 16 and Camon 16 Pro. It makes do with a MediaTek Helio P22 processor, which is less capable in comparison with the G70.
The Camon 16s ma have featured a less premium processor, but it does pack in a higher 128GB standard storage, 4GB of RAM and a 5000mAh battery, which is bigger than the 4500mAh battery as seen on its counter parts.
