What’s in the box?
Box itself is a nylon-wrapped affair….
…reminiscent of the days we unboxed Cabin biscuit.
After all the unwrapping is done, we have a well designed blend of blue, black and white
Or is that silver sef? I am not sure.
Not sure what this logo the “Camon C9” sits atop was intended to be
But common sense says it’s a camera lens something something. Since the Camon range is camera focused, it makes sense, yeah?
Then there’s this particularly difficult seal…
…that took a while to break!
The main compartment slides out of the pouch-like pouchy thing. Fancy.
Finally we open the box and lo, there lies the Tecno Camon C9.
Underneath the compartment are the usual accessories, and some more
The charger head, USB cable, earpiece, warranty, the device itself and a mystery black box.
Mystery black box skewered with the SIM ejector pin. Let’s look inside…
Alas! It is a phone pouch
Been a long time we saw those, at least scratches won’t come early to this device.
Oh, lest I forget. There is this “for freshness” little bags you are not supposed to eat
Not me, it was in the box.
At the top of the front-side, there is the flash by the left side, and the 13 MP Auto-Focus camera in the middle
The speaker grill is right above the whole setup.
Still in the front, the menu buttons are located at the bottom
The earphone jack is at the top
On the flip-side, there’s the 13MP camera with flash underneath
Below that is the second speaker grill for music
In the left-hand corner underneath the phone is an allowance made for prying the cover open, the charger jack comes next and the pin-prick hole at the other end is the microphone for making calls
Upon prying it open, I discovered the 3,000 mAh battery is stuck there; non-removable.
Two micro-SIM slots (both LTE capable)
And if you are wondering (like I was) what the ejector pin is for, the image above explains it. It is for extracting the SIM cards after inserting them.
Memory card slot is on the left-hand side. And all those other ugly workings that the case covers
First Impressions
It’s really slim
5.5 inches and that thin? The Tecno Camon C9 is “looking” like a good deal. There is something iPhoney about the width from this angle, abi?
The Tecno Camon C9 also has a rounded feel to it, thanks to the slight curvature behind.
