Tecno's Camon 30 Premier offers some high-tier features that punch above the price range. Above all, the Camon 30 Premier is marketed as a cameraphone.
And indeed, the specs sheet suggests the Camon 30 Premier's centerpiece feature is the camera hardware. The device features a potent triple 50MP camera setup on the back, along with an AF-enabled 50MP selfie camera.
The main 50MP camera uses a respectable 1/1.56-inch sensor, but the 50MP, 2.76" periscope telephoto camera with 3x optical zoom is arguably more impressive. The two cameras are complemented with another 50MP ultrawide unit, while the front offers a rare find - 50MP selfie unit with AF capability.
The display department isn't overlooked either. In fact, some flagship offerings don't get LTPO OLED panels, but the Camon 30 Premier surprises with one. It has a higher resolution than usual, supports HDR and can go up to 120Hz refresh rate. The Dimensity 8200, a nice upper-mid-range solution, is tasked with driving all those pixels. The only available memory configuration is 12GB/512GB, so we can overlook the missing microSD card slot.
And as for the battery, it's business as usual - 5,000 mAh with fast 70W charging, which we expect to be quite competitive.
Before we continue, the design and build deserve a brief mention too. The Camon 30 Premier may not have the highest ingress protection (just IP54) but it offers a robust design with a Gorilla Glass 5 front sheet and aluminum chassis with a touch of vegan leather.
The handset comes in a standard retail box containing the usual user manuals along with the appropriate USB-A to USB-C cable and 70W-rated charger.
Tecno also gifts a protective silicone case with a seemingly metallic ring around the camera island.
Our review unit arrived with Tecno TWS Buds 3, allegedly part of the retail package and not sold separately. Tecno advertises that the headphones have a cool extra feature allowing you to use them as a camera remote - a double tap snaps an image.
It is very good phone and friendly to use. Fast charging, clear picture and soft grip in hand.
The following phone was missed in the Alternatives section of the review, its 130 USD cheaper and offers similar and in some cases some times better specs: Infinix Zero 30 5G, check it and you will see its very good on all departments and offers much...
I'm here chilling for people's review of this phone, but one Daniel here seems to be talking like a bot. They're even in other Tecno review comments just gassing up every device like it's the best thing ever. It isn't. I...
