Tecno is a well known brand in this part of the world and its latest smartphone has a lot to say about the Chinese OEM. The Tecno Camon CM is a nice looking smartphone that features the much coveted 18:9 aspect ratio. It also comes with a bezel-less display which is the first from Tecno. However, the Tecno Camon CM smartphone will still more or less be categorized as entry-level smartphone because of its spec sheet.

Design and Display
Tecno Camon CM is one good looking beauty of a smartphone with a polycarbonate build. Since the advent of the Samsung Galaxy S8 and other high end flagships there has been an increased number of bezel-less display in the smartphone market as young brands are trying to create a cheaper alternative or wannabe device that is available for low budget buyers.
Tecno equips its new smartphone with an HD+ display which is in par with other smartphones in its category. Here, you have an impressive high screen to body ratio thanks to the minimal bezel. The Tecno Camon CM comes with a 5.7-inch 1440 x 720 pixels display with a pixel density of 282 ppi and a colourful display at that.
