Upgrade Tecno Camon C8 OS To Android 6.0 Marshmallow, Here’s How To

When Tecno recently launched the W4 which is it’s first smartphone to run android 6.0 marshmallow OS out of the box, I knew android 6.0 marshmallow wasn’t far from arriving on other speculated tecno devices.

The Tecno Camon C8 apart from the Phantom 5, was perhaps, one of the best phones launched by the brand in 2015. The device was also one of the top selling smartphones in 2015 and it’s major selling point is the camera. We even did a camera comparison of the Camon C8 and the iPhone 6 to get some facts right.

Before now, there were speculations that the Tecno Camon C8 will be getting android marshmallow OS update and although it was expected in February, it’s better late than never as the upgrade has finally come to limelight on the camon c8 smartphone.
