TECNO Camon 19 Mondrain Edition Wins Muse Design & A’ Design 2022 Awards

Published

Kindly share this post

Technology can now also be art. TECNO, a global premium smartphone brand,  recently advanced their commitment to delivering consumers the most intuitive, stylish and well-designed smart devices by announcing the CAMON 19 Pro Mondrian Edition Gift Set with a TECNO CAMON 19 Pro Mondrian Edition smartphone, a pair of TECNO TWS SONIC 1 earbuds, and other 2 Mondrian style accessories.

Among which, the smartphone perfectly combines the industry’s first ‘Sunlight Drawing’ technology with the stylistic art form, allowing the phone shell color to change with the light, paying tribute to the Stylistic master Mondrian achieved through technology innovation.

Designed for those who are “young at heart” and never stop pursuing excellence in both technology innovation and aesthetic design, TECNO’s CAMON 19 Pro Mondrian Edition Smartphone Integrates a Color-Changing Design with a Sleek Bezel and Advanced Camera, Inspired by Abstract Art Icon Piet Mondrian.

With the exceptional craftsmanship and its innovative visual appearance, TECNO CAMON 19 Pro Mondrian Edition recently collected two international design awards, 2022 MUSE Design Award from US and the A’ Design Award from Italy.

The MUSE Design Awards is a leading international award competition that aims to promote excellence in various design industries by providing professionals and brands with a platform to compete on the world stage.

The MUSE Design Awards is created by the International Awards Associate (IAA) in New York and is known for its rigorous judging system and high-quality criteria.

While A’ Design Award is a world’s leading annual international design competition recognized by ICOGRADA(International Council of Graphic Design Associations) and European Design Association. A’ Design Competition is the largest design competition in the world and the awards are given to the best designs, design concepts, products, and services.

TECNO’s ‘Sunlight Drawing’ technology, which uses ultraviolet light to create a multi-color phone shell, is unlike anything you have even seen on the market before. This polychromatic photoisomer technology is an innovation which uses the breakage and recovery effect of the chain of photosensitive molecular bonds under ultraviolet light, making colorless molecular groups become chromogenic and then revert to colorless.

“The process breaks through the technical limitations of single-color or dual-color discoloration, and realizes for the first time the industry ideal of “making mobile phones not only a technology product, but also a work of art.”

“Aesthetics in technology is becoming increasingly important for today’s consumer, as they look for a more personal mobile experience,” said Lucia Liu, Chief Brand Officer, TECNO. “We’ve long maintained a ‘stop-at-nothing’ mentality to bring our consumers the most innovative and intuitive devices.

The introduction of the CAMON 19 Pro Mondrian Edition makes it possible to achieve the beauty of art through technological innovation as well as to bring art and style to more consumers.”

Other Features of TECNO CAMON 19 Pro Mondrian Edition

TECNO CAMON19 Pro 19 Mondrian Edition follow the other features of the CAMON 19 series, with the first-in-industry 64MP main camera and an RGBW sensor, co-developed with Samsung, overcoming the traditional challenges associated with photography in nighttime and low-light conditions.

Coupled with TECNO’s complementary Glass + Plastic (G+P) technology, light intake can be further enhanced by another 30%, effectively doubling the overall picture quality for users.

TECNO CAMON 19 Pro Mondrian Edition also applied 50MP 2X Optical-Zoom Lens to deliver clearer and more detailed portraits. The optimal focal length distance of 50mm allows users to shoot videos and photos with clearer and more crisp portrait outlines without distortion.

In addition, the smartphone’s camera system also utilizes AI Face Beauty technology, which intelligently identifies different facial structures and skin tones, and delivers smoothing complexions and accurate skin tones along with other improvements.

The CAMON 19 Pro Mondrian Edition was introduced in partnership with the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston (MFA) at an event which paid tribute to art icon Piet Mondrian, the inspiration behind the design – depicting the geometric elements consisting of “primary colors” and straight lines – to reflect an equal and harmonious order.

 

Key Features of TECNO TWS SONIC 1 earbuds:

TECNO TWS SONIC 1 earbuds are another key product in TECNO CAMON 19 Pro Mondrian Edition Gift Set, which share the similar target users who are pursuing valuable products in fashion look and elegance with the industry’s most advanced technology.

The latest battery technology has been applied to support 50 hrs Ultra-long lasting battery life, enabling the users to listen to 800 songs while other competitive products can only listen to 300 songs. The world’s first in-ear and half-in-ear free switching TWS earbuds can meet the needs in different scenarios and meet the comfort with long-lasting usage.

The translucent capsule with the elegant ID design brings a hazy sense of science and technology and beauty.

Meanwhile, the call noise reduction function of SONIC 1 is using single-ear with two-microphone plus Environmental Noise Cancellation (ENC) algorithm, which can filter out the environment noise, reduce external interference, and preferentially extract clear human voices to outputs.

Airtel’s AI Spam Alert Flags 9.6m Spam Attempts

As part of its ongoing commitment to protecting customers from unwanted and potentially fraudulent communications, Airtel designed the AI Spam Alert service to analyze traffic patterns and detect anomalies.

In the period since launch the AI pinpointed a total of 9,667,008 SMS as potential spam messages in the two months after its launch.

Of these, the system identified 528,080 on-net (Airtel-to-Airtel) and 9,138,928 off-net (from other networks) numbers as suspected spam messages, demonstrating the scale of the threat and Airtel’s advanced processing capability.

Airtel Nigeria is a subsidiary of Airtel Africa.

“This milestone demonstrates the strength of our AI-driven infrastructure in combating the growing menace of spam and scam calls. At Airtel Nigeria, we are focused on connecting Nigerians and ensuring their safety and confidence while using our network.

Vitel Wireless Limited, pioneer mobile virtual network operator (MVNO) in Nigeria has made another history by announcing the successful completion of interconnectivity with all major Mobile Network Operators (MNOs) in Nigeria.

Vitel Wireless Completes Interconnectivity with all Major Telcos in Nigeria

Kenneth Nwabueze, Chairman and CEO of Vitel Wireless

Recall that Vitel Wireless, became the  first Mobile Virtual Network Operator  to receive a dedicated number series (0712) from the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC).

This breakthrough enables Vitel Wireless subscribers to make and receive calls with users on MTN Nigeria, Airtel Nigeria, Globacom (Glo), and 9mobile Nigeria.

It also marks the first time an MVNO in the country has successfully interconnected with all the major MNOs, setting a new precedent for Nigeria’s telecom sector.

Following the NCC’s licensing of 46 MVNOs, Vitel Wireless continues to lead the way in establishing a dynamic MVNO sector in Nigeria—Africa’s largest market and most populous nation.

The company has already achieved several historic firsts: the first MVNO issued a numbering plan and national and international routing codes, the first to launch a location awareness network in Africa, and the first to unveil a strategic nationwide rollout plan.

“We are gathering momentum for our big launch,” said Kenneth Emeka Nwabueze, chairman and CEO of Vitel Wireless.

“We are proud to be showing what’s possible for MVNOs, while also creating a path for others to follow. By leveraging our years of experience in Nigeria’s telecom industry, we are opening up new possibilities where there used to be none.”

Interconnectivity was achieved through a combination of direct fiber connections with some MNOs and indirect routing via third-party providers.

This milestone was the result of a collaborative effort involving engineers from Vitel Wireless, Wireless Technology Labs (WTL), and Interconnect Clearinghouse Nigeria (ICN), working closely with engineers from MTN, Airtel, Glo, and 9mobile.

“We wish to thank the regulatory agency, the Nigerian Communications Commission, for their timely interventions and guidance, which were instrumental in achieving this interconnectivity and bringing the formal launch of the Vitel Wireless nationwide network one step closer to reality,” said Nwabueze.

The company entered a nationwide pilot phase in May 2025, with plans for a full rollout in July 2025, aiming to deliver next-generation mobile services to millions across Nigeria.
