Tecno Camon 12 Air Goes on Sale Via Offline Channels

Press Release

Following its launch on 21st of October, Tecno’s Camon 12 Air was available exclusively via a popular online channel – Daraz.pk, but the phone will be hitting your local brick-and-mortar stores today. Interestingly enough, before the phone became available through offline channels, Daraz.pk ran out of stocks within the first half an hour of the release. This fact, coupled with how Tecno’s social media engagement sky-rocketed over the week, sheds light on how popular this smartphone has been nationwide.


The phone is now retailing for 19,499 PKR but you’ll be hard-pressed to find a bezel-free punch hole-toting smartphone for a price tag this low. It doesn’t just end there, it’s not typical of entry-level smartphones to feature triple-camera setups. In simpler terms, the Camon 12 Air might sell for cheap, but it doesn’t feel cheaply made. Far from it, actually. The trendy gradient design, a three-lens setup, and a punch-hole design are perhaps its biggest selling point.


Camon 12 Air packs an IPS display measuring 6.5 inches which produces an unremarkable HD+ resolution. This display is combined with an 8-megapixel selfie shooter embedded inside the punch-hole cutout. On the top left corner, resides a three-lens camera setup, with a 16 MP primary lens, a 5 MP wide-angle sensor, and a 2 MP depth shooter. In addition to the three cameras, you have your standard rear-mounted fingerprint reader for unlocking your phone.


While the looks of this pocket-friendly phone might give the impression of a much higher-end device, the hardware under the hood remains fairly modest. You’re looking at an Helio P22 octa-core chipset clocked at 2.0 GHz and paired with 4 GB of RAM and 64 GB of onboard storage baked into the SoC. If you find the native storage lacking, you can expand it up to 256 GB with a microSD card. Powering this hardware is a 4,000 mAh battery.
