Design And Display
The Camon iSky 2 looks like most budget-friendly smartphones from Tecno Mobile, although the camera placement definitely caught our attention. The dual shooters are vertical at the top left corner with the LED flash in-between.
The fingerprint scanner sits at its usual position, just in case you don’t like the Face Unlock feature. The Tecno logo sits under the scanner while the loudspeaker is at the bottom corner. It will be available in Black, Champagne and Red colours
It’s built around the trendy 18:9 Full View screen just like the iAce with super minimal bezels going on at the front. The selfie camera, front LED flash and speaker sits at the top.
There’s a 5.5-inch HD+ IPS LCD capacitive touchscreen with a resolution of 720 x 1440 pixels and 293 pixels per inch density for clear and sharp visuals.
