this is d first time am goin to buy a tecno phone. Are u guy sur its cool to go?
Hi bernice ,
You’re good to go
If Cx and Cx air are not dsame which of dem is the best den?
CX IS BETTER
Plz i wnt to get something straight here, cx and Cx air are dey dsame?
Yes they’re the same but Tecno Camon CX Air is the “watered-down” version of the Camon CX
This phone is too lit…Dope camera and nice design.
I bought Canon CX on June 6 2017 for N63,200 and honestly it is beautiful all over; the functions, it appearance, it was well put together. it comes with its own protective case that has a sensor. one does need to buy further accessories. In that price range it was worth its ratings and one of the best around.
can i get this phone in black or grey? Tecno did a great job on the CX and i need to get one for me and my Mrs.
just sign up on jumia, fill in your shipping address and place your order. you’ll surely get it within a week
This fone camera is d bomb…. Better Dan Samsung…am a testifier cos I have gotten mine
are you sure? i hear the camera is awesome but this is a huge claim. If it performs like anything on the samsung galaxy s6 then its a must have for me.
I will Go for this device… Nice features
This is great but the price is not just cool for me
LOOKING AT ALTERNATIVES, I THINK 60K IS A FAIR PRICE FOR THE CAMON CX.
Mehn I’m really inlove with dis phone oo.. But doesnt it also works wid 3G connectivity?? cos dis 4G ehn.. I knw my pocket
the cx air should be 5.5 inch too na dats d only problem am avin now!
I just bought the canon cx air a week ago.
The features are great.. Really enjoying the phone.
please is it 5.0inches screen or 5.5inches shed more light on camon cx air
Tecno phones are really ok and they have nice specs
Wow what a phone, Since last year i have been using C9 but it think CX is something else, guys i don’t know about you but i’m getting one today
Considering the dollar Naira thing, I feel the price is a bargain
Although the battery capacity is low, the fast charge technology ensures you have a cover
I CURRENTLY USE THE PHONE AND TRUST ME, THE 3200 IS NOT SMALL WHEN YOU TAKE INTO ACCOUNT ALL THE POWER SAVING FEATURES OF NOUGAT AND HIOS
The design is top notch. The camera quality is just wow
the battery capacity is too low, it should have been 4000Mah and the internal memory should have also be like 32Gib, water resistance also but the rest of the fitures are good, so you guy should improve in your next phone
The Camon CX is something mehn!
What an awesome phone. I can’t wait to get one
True talk, this latest Tecno Camon Cx can make you forget the previous launched Camon c9, due to its new and well customized feature. For me, i like the phone and would want to get it for someone so special to me, because the device is special indeed lols.
You guys are doing a great job but need you to try all you could to make a water proof phone and let send them parking
I am still using phantom 7,,very strong phone,4years now,,,I like Tecno phone, i will. buy CX,maybe after next week by God Grace…………
Up there. Your comparison between c9, cx and cx air? Does the c9 have finger prints scanner?
I intentionally love this Camon Cx with my heart but the price is much,no discount?
Tecno is becoming what I don’t expect. I love the Tecno camon cx air.
This phone is so beautiful Kilode!!!! I particularly love the pink colour, this is a must get device tho, no mincing of words
the battery life is almost as good as the l9, but the L9 battery is just too good
I need this phone where can I order it.
Chinelo , Phone is not yet in market.
