Editorial report

Tecno Camon i4 technical sheet

The Tecno Camon i4 suits buyers looking for a straightforward, lightweight Android phone; its main trade-off is a 3,500 mAh battery, with below-average capacity for phones of its time. At 140 g, it weighs less than most phones from the same period, and its 8 mm thickness is also slimmer than most. That makes the handset light and thin while still giving it a 6.2-inch display.

The IPS LCD screen has a 720 × 1520 px resolution and 271 ppi, lower than that of most phones of its time. Android 9 runs on a MediaTek Helio A22 with 4 GB of RAM and 64 GB of storage, expandable by card. The rear camera setup combines 13 MP, 8 MP ultrawide and 2 MP macro sensors; the front camera is 16 MP. HDR and a Quad LED flash are also included.

Connectivity includes Dual SIM, Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n, Bluetooth 5.0 and GPS, as well as FM radio and a 3.5 mm audio jack. Charging uses microUSB. Overall, the Camon i4 is a basic Android phone built around a light, slim body, a large screen and a versatile camera arrangement. It may suit buyers who value those features and expandable storage, provided they can accept its relatively modest battery capacity.
