TECNO Camon 16 Pro vs Gionee M12: Where the Camon 16 Pro Has the Advantage
The Camon 16 Pro has a ginormous 6.8-inch LCD screen that lets users enjoy their favourite movies, surf the web and check out the latest updates on social media on a larger display.
In the optics department, it has four rear cameras, with these sensors bringing better-looking specs to the table. However, camera comparisons are not just limited to numbers, meaning that these numbers may not necessarily mean the Camon 16 Pro offers a better photography experience than the M12.
Under the hood, the Helio G70 chipset takes care of business, making this device tick and operate more smoothly.
The Camon 16 Pro shares the same RAM and onboard storage as its rival, but brings more external memory to the fray. It also has a powerful battery (with a faster charging rate) to support its great specs.

The M12 is a slightly cheaper option than its counterpart, as its Helio P22 model costs a few thousand nairas less. It offers two different variants with different chipsets in both variants. It is smaller and more compact, making it easier to keep in smaller purses and pockets.
It offers 4G support like its counterpart and has the same internal storage space as the Camon 16 Pro.
It also has the Android 10 OS taking care of software responsibilities, and has a decent front camera to call on when it comes to video calls.
TECNO Camon 16 Pro vs Gionee M12: Who Prevails In This Mid-range Duel?
Both devices offer 4G support, boast good camera specs and offer really strong batteries. But where exactly do we pitch our tent? The Gionee M12 or the Camon 16 Pro?
The M12 is a slightly 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. It also offers prospective buyers a number of variants, while sharing a number of key properties with the Camon 16 Pro.
The Camon 16 Pro on the other hand brings a larger display, providing a more immersive experience. It offers more external storage than its rival. However, it costs a little more than the M12, and should be a good option for smartphone gamers due to its chipset.
This comparison props up the Camon 16 Pro as the winner in a rather tight contest. In spite of the shared similarities, the Camon 16 Pro offers slightly enhanced specs, doing just enough to come away from this with a win.
