• The TECNO CAMON 30 Premier has a 5,000mAh battery with 70W fast charging support.
• The Vivo V30 Pro is equipped with a 5,000mAh battery and 80W FlashCharge fast charging support.

The Vivo V30 Pro and the TECNO CAMON 30 Premier feature a 5,000mAh battery. However, the Vivo V30 Pro, with slightly faster 80W fast charging, comes out as a winner between the two. Readers should note that both smartphones offer adequate fast charging and real-world charging times may not differ by a huge margin.

Verdict

The Vivo V30 Pro has a curved screen, an ergonomic design, capable cameras, faster charging, and an IP54 rating. But, it will get only two Android updates and costs Rs 7,000 more compared to the CAMON 30 Premier.

On the other hand, the TECNO CAMON 30 Premier 5G features a leather-like textured rear panel and a flat-edge design and weighs above 200 grams. The smartphone comes out as a winner when it comes to display and software support.

The CAMON 30 Premier also has a trick up its sleeve, the Smart Breathing Light. This light resides on the rear and indicates charging status, infrared remote control, and video recording status. So, if these things entice you more and you don’t want to spend 7K more, the Camon 30 Premier is the option for you. The V30 Pro can be an option for the ZEISS cameras, a curved display, and a rather minimal design.
