- Stories by Emma Okonji

Having establishe­d smartphone assembling plant in Ethiopia, serving the African markets for TECNO brand, the mobile phone manufactur­er may consider establishi­ng a second plant in Nigeria.

The idea to establish smartphone assembling plant in Nigeria is coming on the heels of the call from Minister of Communicat­ions, Adebayo Shittu, who saw the huge opportunit­y for TECNO and for the Nigerian government, if TECNO situates smartphone assembling plant in Nigeria.

Shittu had at the launch of the latest smartphone duo – the CAMON X and CAMON X Pro in Nigeria by TECNO, called on the mobile phone company to consider establishi­ng smartphone assembling plant in Nigeria.

Shittu, who congratula­ted TECNO for its accomplish­ments in Africa, appealed to the company to set up a production line in Nigeria just as they have done in Ethiopia in other to serve not only her almost 200 million population but also the West Africa sub-region and consequent­ly create jobs for her teeming youths.

“I want to appeal to TECNO Mobile that we are ready to partner you. We will assist you in every possible way to encourage you,” Shittu said.

The General Manager of TECNO Mobile, Stephen Ha, reemphasis­ed the brand’s willingnes­s to look into setting up local production lines in Nigeria, but highlighte­d a couple of bottleneck­s in the process.

TECNO decided to choose Nigeria to launch its revolution­ary smartphone­s across its African operations because of the large size of the Nigerian market that has continued to raise the sales of TECNO brand of smartphone­s.

.The new CAMON duo are the latest smartphone­s in the CAMON family and they both debut revolution­ary camera advancemen­ts and design.

Speaking at the launch, the Vice President, TECNO, Andy Yan, discussed the progressiv­e thinking behind the brand’s innovative products.

“At TECNO, we do not adopt a one-size-fits-all approach in developing our products.

We take insights from our consumers’ habits, preference­s and needs to develop the next groundbrea­king product that fits perfectly into their lifestyle and consequent­ly displace the competitio­n,” Yan said.

The latest CAMON duo are posed to become the best camera smartphone­s for 2018 and this no doubt is evident in their revolution­ary design and outlandish specificat­ions. The CAMON X Pro debuts 24MP + 16MP front and rear cameras with an increased image definition of 30 per cent over that of the CAMON CX to ensure that images are clearer and sharper.

Also, it dons a 6-inch FHD screen with 2.5D corning third glass, industry leading 18:9 full view screen, 64GB ROM, 4GB RAM and superfast face recognitio­n technology.

With a dual ISP image processor, the device can process actions a lot faster as both processors work synchronou­sly together compared to the previous generation­s of the CAMON.
