It’s faster and more accurate for shooting. The camera of C8 imitates the eye location algorithm and it can focus on objectives within 0.3 seconds. When the camera is focusing, it uses a mix of contrast and phase detection, and it’s indeed a good deal for being more professional than common camera phones. Besides, it offers you the best and a fast way to snapshot on the black screen. When the screen is switched off or locked, just simply press the special button twice which is made for snapshot. So, Tecno C8 focuses on the objects fast and accurately no matter when and where.

Tecno C8 pays attention to the beautification effect. With the technology of Visidon face recognition, selfies and other captures are delicate and nice to see. The front-facing camera is very nice as well at 5-megapixel and it even has its own dedicated flash, so selfies should also come out quite nice as well.

  3. The phone is awesome but the main problem is that sometimes it reboots. That’s the problem I got with the c8. Also the pip mode in the camera is not that good in that someone may think it’s a camera application… Atlst the white part shouldn’t be there… Besides all that, am enjoying my tecno c8… Perfect job for the tecno company

  14. It’s a wonderful device I’ve ever come across. In fact, I love it so much that even without you paying me, I will do a little PRO job on it. Everything about the device is on point. You took your time, thought deeply about what Android device users want.
    The battery, camera n the touch are so marvelous. On my way home from work, I came across this young man taking a picture of his girlfriend with a very expensive phone but it was like the lady never liked any of the pics taken. So without permission, I took a shot of the lady from a distance and got closer to show what I’ve taken. Surprisingly, the lady took the phone from me and started asking questions about it; when n how I got her picture? I told her I took a shot of her from a distance. Wonderful Device!!! she shouted…
    This young man made me take pics of himself and the lady and whatsapped them all to him.
    For the battery, I’ve a few words to describe it; POWERFUL AND HARDER THAN THE HARDEST ROCK.

    With C8, u enjoy a smart life!!! Go out there get yourself one and another for her so you can both look smart in town.

  22. i took time today to a study on camon c8. is an amazing piece piece of upgrade from tecno. kuddles. The RAM remains the primary concern. Hey guys considering the 27,499 rate as posted by Jumia today 17/09 is ok. Go for it guys.

  23. There was a question asked by someone here dat hasn’t been replied nd I want to repeat it. Wat does it mean for a phone to be ROOTED? Becos I already signed out of tecno phones ever since I used their m5 product nd got dissapointed at how slow it is but this new c8 is giving me serious reasons to av a rethink but I need to be sure that wen I buy it, it won’t be like my first experience. I need to know if there is any upgrading u need to do before u can start browsing with it. Still explain the meaning of ROOTED pls. Thank u

    • Rooting is the Android equivalent of jailbreaking, a means of unlocking the operating system so you can install unapproved (by Google) apps, update the OS, replace the firmware, overclock (or underclock) the processor, customize just about anything, and so on.

      Reply
    • If u root ur tecno u won’t get any OTA update if there is any software update.
      Rooting gives u access to system that’s the root of the fone but it also voids the warranty. There is no need Rooting bf u can browse. am using mine since September 2015 but I hv no problem with it. There is no upgrade to make bf u start browsing.

  24. This phone got what it takes for I can work all round the clock. However mine doesn’t pick on when I use in my can when I wanted to my music… Any other options!

    Reply
  25. perfect mid-range phone….only the RAM is a concern..the phone’s processor is 64 bit which makes it more powerful and faster than conventional 32 bits processor…probably might be the reason tecno gave it 1gb ram…the 64 bit processor process data faster nd more easier than 32 bits reducing the work load on the 1gb ram… so its performance is almost the same as 2gb(32-bit) mid-range smartphones.
    Am going for this phone soon!!

  26. Yes it can be rooted, I bought my own on the 8th of dis month in abule-egba beside just-rite then it was rooted by there engineer. So now I can use GLO subscription on it,Perfectly .

  29. Nice phone n good upgraded features but at some point it will become a mess with storage memory low because of the 1Gig RAM.
    Tecno should increase their RAM size to at least 2-4 Gig RAM.

    I don’t think I’ll go for it cos of the Ram experience have gotten before.
