PROS
Nice and large screen, decent battery life, dual SIM with space for MicroSD card, good fingerprint scanner on side
CONS
Filled with bloatware, underperforming selfie cam, no 5G
VERDICT
At R5k for the Tecno Camon 17P, it should at least form part of the short list when you’re browsing for phones in that price bracket. The rather large screen at 6.8” will find an audience, while it also performed solidly for the most part – especially by providing two days’ worth of battery life. That said, the preinstalled apps drag the user experience down, while the selfie cam is not particularly impressive.
