TECNO Camon 16 Premier vs Huawei Y9 2019: Where The Camon 16 Premier Has The Advantage

The Camon 16 Premier bears a massive 6.9-inch LCD screen with a 90Hz refresh rate and a slightly better resolution than its rival, simply meaning that it provides better and brighter images, making it a joy for users who enjoy touching up their photos.

It also has more rear cameras than its rival (which also boasts better numbers), fielding a quad-rear camera setup. However, camera comparisons are not as straightforward as they seem, and the numbers may not necessarily mean the Camon 16 Premier offers a better photography experience.

The Camon 16 Premier has a bigger battery than the Y9, also bringing more RAM and storage space to the fray. Its more recent software version also sets it ahead of the Y9 in this face-off.

The Y9 is a far cheaper option than its counterpart, costing about ₦39,000 less than the Camon 16 Premier. It also has a slightly faster processor than its rival, and weighs less, making it easier to keep and hold in smaller spaces.

It supports 4G technology like its counterpart and offers the same internal storage space as the Camon 16 Premier.

Both devices offer 4G support, boast good camera specs, and offer long-lasting batteries.

The Y9 is a much cheaper option than its counterpart and should be ideal for you if you are on the lookout for a device that lets you get your hands on some nice specs at a decent cost.

However, the Camon 16 Premier provides better display quality, letting users enjoy their favourite shows on a larger, faster screen. It also has a bigger battery (with fast charging technology) than the Y9 boasts, a more recent software version.

The Camon 16 Premier has a larger RAM and external storage than its rival. However, it costs a lot more than the Y9, and should be considered if you want something newer or have more cash to splash out.

The Camon 16 Premier wins this head-to-head between these mid-range rivals but comes at a higher price, which may be a bit too much for certain buyers. The Y9 however offers good specs at a great price and provides awesome value for the money.
