Tecno Camon 16 SE

OhoPrice editorial review

Our Take: The Tecno Camon 16 SE at Rs 26,999 is a selfie-focused phone that pairs a 16 MP front camera with a quad-camera rear system. The 16 MP selfie camera with dual LED flash captures significantly more detail than the 5 MP and 8 MP front cameras common at this price, and the flash illuminates faces in dim restaurants or evening outings. The Helio G70 is a capable mid-range chip that handles daily tasks and light gaming, and the Mali-G52 MC2 GPU manages popular titles at low-to-medium settings. With 6 GB of RAM, the phone keeps more apps alive in the background than its 4 GB competitors. The 128 GB of storage is generous. The rear 48 MP main camera captures reliable daylight photos, though the three additional sensors (2 MP, 2 MP, AI) add limited practical value. The 6.8-inch display at 263 PPI is large enough for comfortable video watching. The 5000 mAh battery provides standard all-day endurance. At 170.9 mm tall and 9.2 mm thick, this is a large phone. This model suits selfie enthusiasts who want a big screen and generous RAM. The Sego Note 70 Limited Edition at Rs 24,149 saves you Rs 2,850 and matches the Tecno's 5000 mAh battery and 128 GB storage, but the Camon 16 SE's 16 MP selfie camera dramatically outclasses the Sego's 8 MP front shooter — the resolution difference alone means sharper, more detailed selfies. The Tecno's 6 GB of physical RAM also exceeds the Sego's 4 GB base memory, keeping more apps alive during multitasking. The Sego's 12 GB of total RAM (4 GB base plus 8 GB virtual) technically exceeds the Tecno's 6 GB, though virtual RAM relies on slower storage. For buyers who prioritise selfie quality and real RAM performance, the Tecno Camon 16 SE delivers a genuine advantage; the Sego appeals to those who want lower upfront costs and accept virtual RAM expansion.
