If you’re someone who loves snapping photos, binge watching content, and having a phone that stands out in a crowd without spending a small fortune Tecno’s Camon 30 5G might just check all your boxes.
With an eye catching design, a 50MP main camera, AMOLED display, and Mediatek 5G power inside, this mid range device feels more premium than you’d expect. Let’s break down what makes this phone special and where it plays it safe.
Design: Looks That Make You Do a Double Take
At first glance, the Camon 30 5G gives off flagship vibes. The large round camera module on the back framed like a DSLR lens immediately grabs attention. It’s not just for show, either. Tecno went all out with a sleek finish and colors like Uyuni Salt White and Iceland Basaltic Dark that make the phone look stylish yet understated.Despite packing a large battery and display, it feels surprisingly light and slim in the hand. The textured back panel resists fingerprints, and the build feels sturdy enough for daily use.
Display: Bright, Smooth, and Made for Streaming
The 6.78 inch AMOLED display is one of the Camon 30 5G’s standout features. It’s full HD+, supports 120Hz refresh rate, and gets up to 1300 nits of peak brightness on paper, at least.In real life? It’s smooth, punchy, and perfect for scrolling through Instagram, watching YouTube, or editing photos. Outdoors, the screen remains readable, though not quite as bright as top tier flagships. Still, for its price, it’s hard to complain.
Performance: Solid for Daily Tasks, Not Built for Hardcore Gaming
Inside, the phone runs on the MediaTek Dimensity 7020 chipset, paired with up to 24GB RAM (12GB physical + 12GB virtual) and 256GB storage. That’s plenty for everyday tasks social media, streaming, multitasking and the UI runs smooth for the most part.However, if you're a gamer who cranks up graphics in every title, this chip might struggle under pressure. It’s fine for light to moderate gaming, but don't expect flagship level performance.
Cameras: Selfie Star and Street Photography Sidekick
The Camon 30 5G lives up to its "Camon" name by putting the spotlight on photography.Its 50MP main camera comes with OIS, making shots steady and detailed, even in shaky hands or low light scenarios. There’s also a 2MP depth sensor, which doesn’t do much beyond helping with portrait shots.
The front camera is also 50MP a bold move. It supports eye tracking autofocus, meaning your selfies come out sharp even if you move. Video calls, vlogs, or IG stories? You’re covered.
Low light performance is decent thanks to Tecno’s Super Night mode, though detail can get smudgy at times. There’s no ultra wide or telephoto lens, so it’s a bit limited in versatility, but what it can do it does well.
Battery Life and Charging: Fast Enough, Long Enough
The Camon 30 5G packs a 5,000mAh battery, which easily gets you through a full day of moderate use streaming, photos, browsing, and social apps.It supports 70W fast charging, but the included charger may vary by region (some get a 33W adapter). With the full speed charger, you can juice it up in under 50 minutes super convenient when you’re in a rush.
Software: Colorful UI with a Few Quirks
You get HiOS 14 based on Android 14 out of the box. Tecno has made noticeable improvements here animations feel smoother, there are fewer bloatware apps than before, and the UI is easy to navigate.However, Tecno’s track record for consistent updates is still catching up. While the company promises three years of support, major OS updates might come slower than expected.
Final Verdict: Great for Creators, Stylish for Everyone
The Tecno Camon 30 5G isn’t trying to compete with big name flagships, and that’s exactly why it works. It focuses on style, selfies, and everyday usability and nails it.If you're into mobile photography, video calls, or want a phone that looks more expensive than it is, this device offers great bang for your buck.
Yes, the lack of an ultra wide lens and heavy gaming power might hold it back for some. But for most users especially those who love taking photos and staying connected this is a phone that gets the job done with flair.
