Tecno Camon 19 series was launched in June this year with versions like TECNO Camon19 Tecno Camon 119 pro and Tecno Camon 19 Pro 5G but a third version is in store now: The TECNO Camon 19 Pro Mondrian Edition.
Design
The Tecno Camon 19 Pro Mondrian Edition smartphone is the world’s first smart device that combines “sunlight painting” technology to allow the phone to change colours in the sunlight, producing a creative and intuitive device. Tecno Camon 19 Pro Specs
This sunlight drawing technology was formerly known as polychromatic photoisomer technology and was inspired by Mondrian’s impressionist work. This allows the phone’s shell to follow geometrical patterns of colour change in the sun, breaking through the technical limitations of single-colour or dual-colour discolouration.
TECNO and the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, have collaborated to bring Piet Mondrian’s unique vision – the Dutch abstract art pioneer best known for his bold and brilliant block paintings – to a new format accessible to customers that have not previously been explored.
Debra LaKind, Senior Director, Intellectual Property & Business Development at the MFA, said, “Technology as a canvas is a medium we’ve been investigating for years, with the intention that we can – with the help of TECNO – bring our renown collections to a greater audience.” “It’s fantastic to see Piet Mondrian’s work serve as inspiration for a whole new form of smartphone design that celebrates the real sentiment of abstract art brought to life through technology.”
Despite being composed of glass (front) and plastic (everything else), the phone feels quite opulent. The speaker, USB Type-C port, and 3.5mm headphone jack are located on the bottom frame. On the right are the volume rocker and the power button (also the fingerprint scanner).
TWS earbuds are included in the primary packaging of the TECNO CAMON 19 Pro – Mondrian Edition. They are called TECNO SONIC 1 and complement the TECNO CAMON 19 Pro Mondrian Edition Gift Set as a whole. They have 50 hours of battery life, much longer than other TWS sets on the market. In addition, they employ magnetic absorption technology.
Camera
In a world where social media presence matters a lot, a good camera is a must and when it comes to Tecno they did not play around. The CAMON 19 Pro, Mondrian Edition has 3 cameras; 1st camera offers 64mpx with 5 lenses, 4X LED Flash with video formats of H.264 and MPEG4-FPS. The second camera has 50mpx with 2X optical zoom capabilities and the third camera offers 2mpx.
The front camera offers 32Mpx with an 80° field of view.
Battery Life
This device comes with a 5,000 mAh cell with 33W fast charging capabilities, meaning it can charge fully I n65 minutes. On normal usage one single charge should take you more than 2 days of heavy usage.
Performance
Released shortly after the CAMON 19 Pro, the Mondrian Edition shares the computer’s primary capabilities.
- • The world’s first high-resolution crystal-sensitive lens equipped with a full-colour, wide-angle, and depth (RGBW) sensor,
- • The 6.8-inch Full High Definition Plus (FHD+) display is surrounded by a bezel just 0.98 millimetres thick, making for an immersive viewing experience unrivalled in the industry.
- • The dual-ring, triple-camera design strikes the ideal balance between the cameras and the rear panel, giving the phone a unified look and feel. With the anodizing process, the metal dual-ring is seamlessly fused with the triple camera, exuding an air of high-calibre performance.
- • 50 Megapixel, 2x Optical Zoom Lens for Stunning Close-Ups
- • Intelligent facial structure and skin tone detection are at the heart of AI Face Beauty technology, providing flawless skin and natural colouration adjustments.
- • The phone’s robust performance allows for the best possible display in terms of sharpness, brightness, and colour accuracy. The display has been tested and certified by TuVRheinland to have low levels of blue light, making it easier on the eyes.
As a company, TECNO has expanded beyond supplying technological goods to pioneering technological advancements in unrelated fields, such as the arts and fashion.
The release of the CAMON 19 Mondrian shows that TECNO is committed to making goods with the consumer in mind and will continue to set the standard for other smartphone manufacturers. Users may shoot high-quality films even in low light with the help of the super night mode camera and quad flashlight.
By fusing artistic sensibilities with technological innovation, TECNO is broadening its global footprint and specializing in high-end services. STOP AT NOTHING is TECNO’s motto, representing the company’s commitment to providing the best service possible.
The Camon 19 Pro has excellent performance in all areas: its display, battery life, cameras, and design are all top-notch, and it feels great in hand. However, it is somewhat pricey, has a subpar chipset, and is not a good choice for gaming.
Availability
The TECNO Camon 19 Pro Mondrian Edition goes for Ksh 35,000 and is available at any of TECNO’s official retail stores countrywide, Safaricom’s official retail shop, and online at Masoko, Jumia, and Kilimall.
