Up until the release of the Camon C5, Tecno the African smartphone giant didn’t have a 4G smartphone. Even flagships like the Phantom Z were 3G device with about 42Mbps speeds.
The Tecno Kenya Facebook page was the first to announce the Tecno Camon C5 followed by the Uganda page. The Nigerian page hasn’t posted yet which is no surprise because we’ve seen phones get to Uganda before they are even launched in Nigeria which is Tecno’s biggest stronghold
We are not able to verify the Tecno Camon C5 specs yet other than the fact that it’s a 4G device. We are also not yet sure how much the device will go for but from the information we have gathered, the device is mid range and will cost between Ugx 400,000 – Ugx 600,000.
