HeyCorleone:
So you're saying Camon CM's HD screen, albeit full view, is way better than, CX's FHD?

FHD or HD... na naija we dey, they are the same.... I have have don a comparison of the CX with my casted hot 5, I couldn't tell the difference. The 18:9 aspect ratio of the camon CM gives it an advantage over the camon CX. Feel free to have your own opinion.

Why exactly is Tecno going back on the specs of the camon smartphone? That's a question I guess you will be asking your self right now.

The truth is that manufacturing below mid range smartphones in this erra of immense innovations. Tecno is trying to keep their specs on the average, in order for people they intend selling their smartphones to, to be able to afford it.

Africa is their main business target. We have lot of third world countries in Africa which cannot afford high end devices. So Tecno chooses to learn more

The camon CM is about 7.75 mm thick.
Button placement as well as the port placement are similar to that of the camon CX.
The fingerprint reader is located at the back just below the camera on the right side.

Camon CX:

The camon CX has an all metal build with visible antennas and a 2.5D curved glass up front. it features round edges.
Tecno said on paper that the camon CX has an aluminum build, but it’s actually plastic.
The camon CX is about 5.6mm thick.
The camon CX has a smooth mettalic back on which it’s fingerprint reader is located.

The camon series has been known to feature the second best cameras Tecno produces. I said second because, despite the fact that Tecno advertises camon smartphones as their camera flagships, the phantom series are known to feature better cameras.

Last year Tecno hit the market with the Camon CX with a lot of bells and whistles about the cameras it featured. If you ask me, I would say the camon CX was a huge success.

Tecno is back again the year with the camon CM, CM for C-more learn more...

One of the saddest news I have heard this week, I just pray they don't make it Iphone exclusive or add micro-transactions to it

Exactly... Apple may dey monetize all their apps so.

ollah1:
You can install SoundHound as an alternative and it works pretty well or wait till Google uodates it's Google Assistant or just buy a Pixel 2 or XL

SoundHound... I have never heard of it. Thanks for the recommendation... The one from Google assistant I don think not will be very good. The google assistant of my phone doesn't work well with voice .

The Shazam app has really helped me a lot.

MarkWayne89:

The Snapdragon 835 is shipped with Cat 16 LTE modem, with downlink speed up to 1024Mbps(1Gbps) and 150Mbps in the uplink.

Well said ... This is a better explanation

MarkWayne89:
OP, I am not sure if the LTE signal is related to the processor.

To use and receive LTS signals, the laptop needs special antennas for LTE. And this could be an extra feature. But will not come as a default just because the processor is Qualcomm

Qualcomm snapdragon 835 processor or let's just say chip. Apart from powering devices comes with some bonus features. The samsung galaxy s8 and all devices with the Qualcomm snapdragon 835 chip features the kind of LTE connectivity featured in these laptops.
Since these laptops feature the SDG 835 chip they will also have access to this LTE connectivity without special antennas.

You can learn more from Qualcomm's website.

They actually call the processors in this laptop arm Qualcomm processor.
