Users of Tecno Camon C8 have waited and waited for an OTA update for their baby girl but it's not forthcoming even after the given date by Tecno which was far back February came and gone. This is one major issue that Tecno devices have and I don't know why they are still relenting on this OTA issues.

Anyway, they made announcement again few hours ago promising that the OTA update for Tecno Camon 8 will arrive between now and the next 10 days but while we wait for it, let me show you how to update your Tecno Camon C8 to Android 6.0 Marshmallow.

This HiOS Beta Version will make your TECNO phone appear unique, more smarter and fun to use. The size is about 40M.

THINGS NEEDED
