‘What do you want from life,’ I asked this teenager who was standing beside me and watching a fabulously lit-up India Gate a couple of days back. He turned and smiled, ‘More. More of this. More of everything.’
However, there was a strange veil of sadness as he said this and asked him if anything was troubling him.
‘My phone,’ he wailed, ‘look at the pictures. None of them shows anything. And so right now I want more from the camera of my mobile phone.’
If you are like me that I take photos of basically everything, the space of the mobile gets too little, in this Photostick Review you will find a device that allows you to move files from the phone to a USB.
‘Well, you just watch everything and all the lovely sights will stay in your memory. Isn’t that something wonderful? After all, there are millions of people who have never visited Delhi and would give anything to be here and see India Gate and the way the lights are doing their magic.’
‘You’re right. And I did want to share my joy with a few of those who could not be here. But my mobile camera…’
So there you go, the emotion of gimme more or ‘give me more’ is not just about experiences but also about sharing these experiences. This teenager gave me the story that I was looking for and must add here that a reasonably priced smartphone has been launched by Tecno and one that has powerful cameras. You see, this phone that I am talking about is priced at Rs. 8,990. The Camon i comes with 13 MP front camera with boosted dual flash and 13 MP rear camera with Quad LED flash and has a 18:9 Full View HD+ display to get a first-hand view of whatever you have clicked. I’m not surprised that during the launch of this phone, Mr. Lin Qin, Vice President, TRANSSION Holdings did point out that India was one of the most important overseas markets for their future global growth, ‘in line with our global brand philosophy of “Think Globally, Act Locally”, the core strategy for us to stand out in the emerging markets.’ I guess they understand what the Indian consumer really wants. What we want is a reasonably good phone as a reasonably low price point… and this phone certainly fits in snugly.
Will Camon i show other brands the way through a fire exit
TECNO Camon i is its photographic prowess with its 13 MP rear & front camera, which uses f/2.0 aperture & 5P lens, allowing users to capture crisp pictures in any light. For the selfie lovers, Camon i offers a wide angle 80-degree selfies, with screen flash and LED flash that allows shutterbugs to include a large group of friends and family in one shot with ease. The rear camera with 4X flash is optimized with Night Shot Algorithm makes images brighter in low light.
The Camon i from Tecno comes with a 5.65-inch HD+ with a 18:9 full-view IPS display that makes video browsing, gaming and multi-tasking mmersive. The IN-cell display technology ensures a charmingly responsive touch screen experience, and ensures a low power consumption. This smartphone has a 3GB RAM and a 32 GB ROM, a 3050mAh battery and a 1.3 GHz Quad Core processor that supports speed and efficiency. The Camon i comes in three colour variants – Champagne Gold, Midnight Black and City Blue.
Mr. Gaurav Tikoo, Senior Vice President Marketing, TRANSSION India mentioned that every aspect of this phone keeps in mind the needs and wants of a millennial and he added that their ‘research revealed that Indian youth look for great cameras that can help them shoot at any time of the day, in any light condition.’ This is precisely what the thoughts of that teenager who I met the other day, reflected.
The press release of TECNO also talks about their unique promise of ‘111’, which offers 100 days’ replacement warranty, 1-time screen replacement and 1-month extended warranty over and above the 12 months’ warranty period.
Well, if any photo enthusiast is reading this post he or she would know that it is possible to click great pictures without having to spend a lot. The Camon i has all the features that any reasonably good and usable phone has and, in addition, gives one an access to camera abilities in a phone that certainly does the job it is assigned to it.
