An Overview of The Device
The Camon C7 is a dual SIM device running on Android’s Marshmallow Flavor (version 6.0) but isn’t 4G enabled.
Coming in a plastic chassis which looks anything but plastic, the device can be picked up in gold, black (sandstone back) or white color variants.
The display of the Tecno Camon C7 is a 5.0-inch IPS Touch display with a resolution of 720 x 1280 pixels and a PPI of 294 (approx.)
Performance-wise, a Quad-core MediaTek chipset clocked at 1.3 gigahertz is present within the device and it is supported by 2 gigabytes of RAM for a lag-free multitasking experience.
For storage of media and files, the Camon C7 has 16GB of internal storage which can be extended up to 128GB by means of an external microSD card which has its own dedicated slot on the device.
For power, you’d have to make do with the twenty-five hundred milli-amp-hour battery that the device ships with, and no, no ‘fast charging’ is available for this device.
The Camon series are meant to be camera gods and the C7 does not disappoint in this regard. Despite having ‘below-average’ features, the cameras on the device are laudable (at least, for its price).
In front is a 13MP Lens with a dedicated flash light and the back, another 13 MP Lens with a dual-LED flash.

Buy or Bye?
With a market price of around N31k at the moment, the Camonn C7 should be a good deal if you do not mind running on a dated (albeit a little) Android OS.
