Introduction and specs
At the MWC in Barcelona, Tecno unveiled the remarkably powerful Camon 30 series, and ever since, we have been eager to evaluate those phones. It’s time to meet the Camon 30 Pro after the star of the show, the cameraphone Camon 30 Premier.
Based on the MediaTek Dimensity 8200 Ultimate CPU, the Tecno Camon 30 Pro is a potent smartphone with a sizable 6.78-inch AMOLED screen that refreshes at 144 Hz. Up to 512GB of storage and 12GB of RAM are options for the phone.
Like the other Camon 30 phones, the Camon 30 Pro features a readily recognizable design with a leather-like finish and a unique snowy texture. It also has an indicator light next to the camera and flash.
The Tecno Camon 30 Pro has a wonderful design, a great screen, and a powerful chipset. It also has three 50MP cameras: an autofocus primary camera, an ultrawide camera on the back, and a selfie camera on the front.
The 5,000mAh battery that powers the Tecno Camon 30 Pro supports 70W rapid charging. It is powered by HiOS 14 and the most recent version of Android 14.
