Techno Camon 16 Price in Kenya and Full Specifications

Techno Camon 16 Price in Kenya: Techno has just launched the Camon 16 that is part of a trio comprising Camon 16 pro and Camon 16 Premier that we have talked about here and which are yet to come to the Kenyan market.

The launch was done in India early yesterday and by looking at the specifications, it is the cheaper of the three but with some impressive specifications for the price.

Specifications

For starters, Camon 16 comes with Android 10 and HiOS 7.0 with 4 GB of RAM and 64 GB of internal storage. An MTK chip, precisely the G70, powers the device.

As expected the internal memory and ROM are half of the Camon 16 premier that has an 8GB RAM and 128 GB Storage.

On this Camera, we have the main camera that is a 64 MP main shooter, complemented by three 2 MP sensors for macro, depth sensing, and AI information gathering. This camera has four sensors that have the same arrangement as those of the Camon 16 premier.

The selfie camera is a 16 MP that is punched into the top left of the screen. The camera is capable of 2K video recording with a blurred background. The screen on the other hand is a 6.8-inch screen at HD+.

Other features include:

A fingerprint sensor that is positioned on the rear plate under the camera module, unlike the Premier that has it embedded in the power button on the side.
A big 5000 mAh juicer with support for fast-charging at 18W, which is way less than the 33W system for the Premier. There is also no USB Type-C here too.

Pegasus Technologies Hack Sees MTN, Airtel and Stanbic Loss Ksh. 40 Millions

Pegasus Technologies, a company that deals with money transfer transactions in Uganda has been hacked.

Reports reaching ShopaXo say that the hack began on Thursday, 1^st of October 2020, and apparently went unnoticed until Saturday 3^rd October 2020.

Reports reaching us say that the hackers have made away with billions of money in Ugandan currency from corporations such as Stanbic, which is the largest lender in Uganda, MTN Uganda, and Airtel Uganda.

Pegasus runs money transfer services in Uganda, the same way Safaricom runs Mpesa services in Kenya.

Statement issued.

Anne Juuko, Wim Vanhelleputte, and VG Somasekhar who head Stanbic, MTN, and Airtel Uganda have since issued a statement about the hacking.

“Stanbic Bank Uganda, MTN Uganda and Airtel Uganda inform the public and their customers that on Saturday 3 October 2020, a third-party service provider experienced a system incident which impacted Bank to Mobile Money transactions. All Bank to Mobile Money/Wallet services have since been temporarily suspended,”the statement read in part.

They added that “This system incident has had no impact on any balances on both Bank and Mobile Money accounts. Our technical teams are analyzing the incident and will restore services as soon as possible. We apologize to all customers for any inconvenience that this has caused and reiterate our commitment to delivering seamless banking and mobile money services.”

As at the time of publishing this article, Ronald Azairwe, Managing Director Pegasus Technologies Limited had not divulged any details about the hack.

Only saying that “Sadly I can’t comment on that. I cannot confirm or deny anything of the sort. I cannot speak about it. MTN/Stanbic/Airtel should be able to tell you whether it is Pegasus technology or not”.

It is estimated that the amount lost is Uganda Shillings 1.5 billion, approximately US dollars 370000.00. The mater has since been reported to the authorities who are investigating.
