Tecno Camon 15 and Camon 12 are two android smartphones that share lots of similarities in their specifications. However, a close comparison of both devices reveal Camon 15 to have some upgraded features from what we saw on any of the mobile phones in the Camon 12 series. This post highlights some of those major upgrades alongside their price in Nigeria.

Having done excellently well on the market with Camon 12, one would have easily expected Tecno to begin a new series with Camon 13. But instead of doing that, the company took a major jump to Camon 15. With that leap also came some upgrades which you will find on this page as you read on!

Design and Display Compared
In our bid to find out about the changes and similarities between both smartphones, we checked the design and display of Tecno Camon 15 vs Camon 12, and here’s what we discovered:

While Tecno Camon 12 sports a 6.52-inch IPS LCD capacitive touchscreen, with a resolution of 720 X 1600 pixels and 269 PPI density, Camon 15 features a 6.55 inches IPS LCD display, with 720 X 1600 pixels in screen resolution and 268 PPI density.

Both smartphones come with a plastic build except for the Front where they are both covered with Glass. That means both the Back and Sides of the two devices are made of plastic.

The upgrade from the display size we saw on Camon 12 to the bigger one on Camon 15 is definitely a good one, especially for video streaming and gaming. You get a better viewing experience on the device.

So, though both mobile phones look almost the same in their design, there is a noticeable difference in their display size when put side by side with each other.

Camera and Battery Compared
On the imaging and power, the changes made by the company in the making of the latest Camon 15 are quite obvious. Transsion once again proved that delivering better camera quality and long-lasting batteries in their midrange devices has always been their goal.

On its arrival, Tecno Camon 12 featured a 16 MP triple camera at the rear. While the 16 MP is the primary sensor in the setup, it is joined by an 8 MP ultra wide-angle lens and a 2 MP depth sensor.

At the Front, the smartphone is paced with another 16 MP camera for selfies. To make images appear better, the camera supports artificial intelligence (AI) beautification.

For that of Camon 15, a 48 MP quad-camera gloriously adorns the back. Supporting the Primary sensor in the setup are three other sensors pegged at the sizes: 5 MP + 2 MP + 2 MP.

In terms of the selfie camera, you will be getting a 16 MP punch hole camera when you buy the mobile phone. In the Tecno Camon 15 Pro variant, users will be getting a motorized pop-up camera at the Front.

Supplying electricity to the Tecno Camon 12 is a 4000mAh non-removable Li-Po battery that can last a full day usage without charging. While that battery size is a bit okay for the average smartphone user, the company raised the bar a little higher in featuring a 5000mAh battery on Camon 15, putting the phone on par with Samsung Galaxy M30, Realme 5 and Xiaomi Redmi 8A in terms of battery capacity.

Configurations Compared
On the operating system, Tecno Camon 12 runs on HIOS 5.5 based on Android 9.0 Pie, powered by MediaTek Helio P22 chipset. At the memory angle, it is built with a 4 GB RAM and 64 GB of internal storage. This is expandable to 256 GB with the use of a MicroSD card.

Speaking of Camon 15, the smartphone runs on HIOS 6.0 based on the latest Android 10.0 powered by MediaTek Helio P35 chipset, clocked at 2.35GHz. As for its memory capacity, the mobile phone also features a 4 GB RAM and 64 GB of internal storage which is expandable to 256 GB to accommodate more files.

Apart from having the same RAM and ROM size, both mobile phones also share other similarities like 4G LTE, dual SIM slots, rear-mounted fingerprint sensor and Face ID for security, Bluetooth V5.0, and many other features.

Price
In terms of the market, Tecno Camon 12 price in Nigeria currently stands at N45,000 while that of Camon 15 ranges from N45,000 to N50,000 currently.

Both smartphones are currently available for purchase and can be gotten online on Jumia, Konga, and SLOT. If you intend to buy any of them offline, you can get it from any major smartphone store in Nigeria.

In Conclusion
Comparing Tecno Camon 15 vs Camon 12 is kind of tricky since both smartphones share a few similarities both in the design and other areas. However, looking closely, we see the major upgrades the company made in Camon 15 which is the latest between the two. These upgrades are mostly seen in the operating system, camera, display size, battery specifications, and processor.

So if you are stuck between choosing either of the mobile phones, I hope that wouldn’t be so much of a problem now based on this comparison of both devices.

higher mega pixel doesn't mean brighter camera or better camera oga, that scrap will only give you overexposed pictures

A lot of similarities, what changed is the battery and camera upgrade.

am annoyed by this phone, nothing changed really them just add money anyhow. I will wait for xiaomi 9s instead

nnaomaog:

Bro increase camera MP is a scam because that Mediatek P22 did not support more than 21MP single or 13 +8 MP double camera and Mediatek P35 does not support more than 25 MP single and 13 + 13 MP for double camera. Any contrary claim by tecno is a big lie.

This link may clear your doubt if u still believe tecno lies.

This review isn’t complete there are trades off I think the Camon 12 has in screen finger print and amoled screen which the Camon 15 is lacking the Camon 12 has 6gb ram while Camon 15 has just 4 I think the Camon 15 only shines in battery life, camera, and slightly processor
