Infinix Note 7 vs TECNO CAMON 15: The Specifications.
Design: One is huge, the other is moderate
Let's start with the design. Straight up, it comes down to personal preferences when deciding between the Infinix Note 7 and the TECNO CAMON 15. If you're okay with a gigantic 6.95 inches display, the Note 7 is for you; but if you're on the smaller-form factor side, you undoubtedly would go for the CAMON 15 with a smaller 6.6-inch screen. While the Infinix Note 7's screen is larger, its punch-hole camera is also noticeably smaller than the TECNO CAMON 15.
That aside, the Infinix Note 7 comes with a circular-shaped camera module, which, combined with its back finish, looks outstanding and slightly beautiful than the CAMON 15 with a rectangular-shaped camera module.
Another thing to notice in the design is the placement of the fingerprint sensor. Following the 2020 latest trends, Infinix Note 7 has its fingerprint sensor right on the power button. TECNO CAMON 16 features a rear-mounted fingerprint.
Performance: Helio G70 is speedier!
Not only that the Infinix Note 7 was released a few months after the TECNO CAMON 15, but it also takes the lead in performance. Powering the Infinix Note 7 is the Helio G70 processor, which is a midrange gaming-focused processor from MediaTek. On the other hand, the TECNO CAMON 15 features the MediaTek Helio P22 processor, which was also used on its predecessor. Both the processors are based on 12nm architecture with a clock CPU speed of 2.0 GHz. Both in benchmarks and real-world usage, the Infinix Note 7 is faster. You'll notice the difference in performance and across other areas like the cameras and more.
Both the CAMON 15 and Note 7 has a base variant with 64GB storage and 4GB RAM. The Infinix Note 7, however, has two other variants offering 64GB + 6GB or 128GB + 6GB memory configuration. Both devices come with dedicated microSD card support as well.
Camera: Similar specs, good shots.
Both the Infinix Note 7 and the TECNO CAMON 15 are similar in camera specs. Talk about the 48MP primary camera? The 2MP macro camera? The 2MP depth camera? Or the dedicated AI lens for low-light photography and videography? As though they're very close in specs, the final output can be determined in real-world usage and personal preference. Software tweaking and computational photography also come out to play here. But since the Zero 8 has a better processor, image signalling and processing is better on the Infinix Zero 8.
They both come with a simple camera app. On the camera interface, you'll find features like HDR, Portrait/Bokeh, Super Night Mode, panorama, 2X zoom button, and more.
Battery: Fast charging is better.
Both devices will surely keep you on your screen for an entire day. They both come with a gigantic 5,000mAh battery. They also offer different battery-saving and optimization technology, to elongate the battery life and give you more juice to enjoy your day.
But in charging, Infinix takes the lead here again. It comes with 18W Super Charge 3.0, and that's enough to pick the Note 7 over the CAMON 16, which comes with a 10W charger. Juicing up the TECNO CAMON 15 after fully draining it takes nothing less than 3-hours, while you can recharge the Note 7 in just under 2-hours.
Software: XOS VS HiOS
Right out of the box, both Infinix Note 7 and TECNO CAMON 15 rocks Android 10 with XOS 6 and HiOS 6, respectively. You’ll get most of the Android 10 features, such as Dark Theme, Gesture Navigations, improved Privacy, and more, on both devices. The Infinix Note 7 comes with Live Transcription, which is not available on the CAMON 15. That's delightful to have on the Zero 8, at least if it’s beneficial for you. As well as the Android 10 features, both XOS and HiOS has a lot of user-centred features you're likely to use every day.
Final thoughts
It's easier to recommend the Infinix Note 7 to people because of its Helio G70 gaming-focused processor, 18W Super Charge 3.0, large 7" screen, and more. But considering the price, you might want to go for CAMON 15, which is more affordable.
