Chinese phone giant Tecno Mobile recently launched its state-of-the-art Camon 17P smartphone in South Africa at a time when the Samsung A51 (as part of the popular youth-focused A-Series flagship) and Redmi Note 9 Pro have become fan favourites.
Given that in 2020, Tecno Mobile knocked down market leaders Samsung and Apple to claim the number one spot as Africa’s most popular smartphone, the big question is, how will it compare with its rivals; Samsung A51 and Redmi Note 9 Pro?
The first point is that all three brands vary in terms of design, features, and functionality.
While Tecno has become consumers’ go-to mid-range smartphone, thanks to its artistically appealing design and contemporary cutting-edge camera technology (as seen with the groundbreaking 48MP selfie camera Camon 17 Pro) , Samsung and Redmi on the other hand have become popular among price-conscious consumers.

Like its rivals, Tecno has always paid special attention to outstanding camera features, since selfies have become such an important part of millennial and GenZ users’ online identities. True to form, when it comes to the rear camera, Camon 17P and Redmi Note 9 Pro lead the pack as they are both equipped with 64MP rear ultra-quad camera, while the Samsung A51 lags behind at 48MP.
Another notable feature for the Camon 17P is its trademark TAIVOS technology, which takes incredibly clear visuals even in low-light. Not only that, TAIVOS is also king when it comes to blurring out background clutter.
