Features of the CAMON 30 5G

1. Display

The Tecno Camon 30 5G features a 6.7-inch FHD+ OLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate and a peak brightness of 1,300 nits. This ensures a vibrant viewing experience with smooth scrolling and responsiveness, ideal for media consumption and gaming. The colors are slightly oversaturated, but the high brightness makes it suitable for outdoor usage.

2. Camera System

Equipped with a 50MP main camera with Optical Image Stabilization (OIS) and a 50MP selfie camera, the device excels in capturing sharp, true-to-life photos. The rear camera delivers impressive results in daylight, while the selfie camera ensures accurate skin tones and high detail. However, the absence of ultra-wide or macro lenses limits its versatility.

3. Performance

Under the hood, the MediaTek Dimensity 7020 chipset, paired with up to 12GB RAM and 512GB storage, powers the phone. It handles everyday tasks effortlessly but shows limitations with demanding games, experiencing heating and occasional frame drops in intensive scenarios like BGMI or Call of Duty.

4. Battery and Charging

The Camon 30 5G houses a 5,000mAh battery that supports 70W fast charging, allowing a full charge in under an hour. It provides a screen-on time of 7–8 hours, making it reliable for daily use. This ensures users can enjoy extended sessions of video streaming or gaming without frequent recharging.

5. Software

Running on HiOS 14 based on Android 14, the device offers a feature-rich and customizable user interface. It includes smooth animations and promises three years of OS and security updates, making it a future-proof choice for users.

6. Design and Build Quality

The phone stands out with its "Nature Flow Texture Glass" design, which combines a grainy matte and glossy finish. It feels premium and ergonomic in hand. However, its weight of 190g may cause fatigue during extended use.


 

Final Thoughts

The Tecno Camon 30 5G is an appealing mid-range smartphone that combines style and functionality. Its vibrant 6.7-inch OLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate ensures smooth visuals, and the 50MP cameras, both front and rear, offer impressive photography capabilities, especially in daylight conditions. The device stands out for its robust 5,000mAh battery paired with fast 70W charging, making it suitable for extended use. However, its MediaTek Dimensity 7020 chipset provides only average performance, with noticeable limitations during heavy gaming or multitasking. The absence of ultra-wide or macro lenses is a drawback for photography enthusiasts. While its design and display are highlights, heavier competition in its price bracket may limit its appeal for performance-focused users.
