Tecno is launching the Flagship Camon 30 series with the addition of the Premier variant. In continuation of the success of the Camon 30 Pro, we finally have the future Tecno's Camon 30 Premier, which offers all the specifications we can expect from a flagship device, such as a massive display, powerful chipsets, a massive battery with fast charging, and much more. I would like to focus my attention on Tecno Camon's 30 Premier. Without wasting any more time, let's have a look at it in more detail. First of all, you will be able to notice the massive 6.77 -inch LTPO AMOLED capacitive touchscreen, which has a resolution of 1264 x 2780 pixels and a refresh rate of 144 Hz. To deliver unbeatable performance, the new Camon 30 Premier is said to be launching with one of the most powerful MediaTek Dimensity 8200 chipsets and a 3.2 GHz Octa Core CPU. It seems that most of the recent leaks concerning the new Tecno 30 Premier indicate that it might be able to support 5G connectivity as well.

  • Camera System: The triple 50MP rear cameras (wide, ultra-wide, and periscope telephoto) offer detailed photos with optical zoom, while the 50MP front camera excels in selfies. The cameras include features like optical image stabilization (OIS).
  • Design: The unique "Tech-Art Leather" back with a matte finish and a premium aluminum frame gives it a sophisticated look and comfortable feel.
  • Battery Life: Equipped with a 5000mAh battery, it supports 70W fast charging, providing 50% charge in about 15 minutes and lasting a full day with moderate use.

Features of the CAMON 30 Premier 5G

 

1. Display: 6.77-inch LTPO AMOLED with 120Hz Refresh Rate

The Camon 30 Premier 5G sports a 6.77-inch LTPO AMOLED display with a resolution of 1264 x 2780 pixels. Its 120Hz adaptive refresh rate ensures smooth scrolling and animations, while HDR support enhances dynamic range, offering vibrant visuals. With a peak brightness of 1400 nits, it performs well even under direct sunlight.

2. Powerful MediaTek Dimensity 8200 Ultimate Chipset

This device is powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 8200 Ultimate, a 4nm chipset designed for efficient performance. It handles gaming and multitasking with ease, supported by 12GB of RAM, expandable virtually by an additional 12GB. The phone achieves excellent benchmark scores, making it capable of running demanding apps and games.

 

3. Advanced Camera System

The triple-camera setup includes a 50MP wide camera with OIS, a 50MP ultrawide lens, and a 50MP periscope telephoto lens with 3x optical zoom. This combination captures detailed and sharp photos across scenarios. The 50MP front camera is ideal for high-quality selfies. However, video recording lacks advanced stabilization, particularly in low-light conditions.

4. Battery Life and Fast Charging

A 5000mAh battery powers the phone, providing all-day usage. It supports 70W fast charging, reaching 50% in about 15 minutes and fully charging in approximately 40 minutes. Smart charging technology optimizes battery health, ensuring durability over extended use.

5. Premium Design

The "Tech-Art Leather" back combines matte textures with a metallic frame for a premium feel. Its slim design and IP54 rating for dust and water resistance add to its appeal. The red notification LED on the back is a distinctive touch.

6. Connectivity Features

The device offers 5G connectivity, Wi-Fi 6E, NFC, and an IR blaster for remote control capabilities. It supports dual physical SIM cards but lacks eSIM functionality. Its USB-C port is limited to USB 2.0 speeds, which may be a drawback for data-intensive users.

7. HiOS 14 Software

Running on Android 14 with TECNO's HiOS 14 skin, the phone includes features like a "Dynamic Port" similar to Apple's Dynamic Island and customizable floating windows. While feature-rich, the interface has some bloatware and can feel less polished compared to stock Android.

8. Storage

With 512GB of UFS 3.1 storage, the Camon 30 Premier provides ample space for apps, media, and games. However, it lacks a microSD card slot for expandable storage, which may limit flexibility for some users.

These features make the TECNO Camon 30 Premier 5G a compelling mid-range smartphone with flagship qualities, albeit with some trade-offs in software and audio quality.



 

Final Thoughts

The TECNO Camon 30 Premier 5G is a well-rounded smartphone that offers flagship-level features at a mid-range price. Its highlights include a vibrant 6.77-inch LTPO AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate and impressive brightness, a powerful MediaTek Dimensity 8200 chipset paired with 12GB of RAM, and a versatile triple 50MP rear camera setup delivering excellent photography capabilities. The phone's design, featuring a premium aluminum frame and "Tech-Art Leather" back, stands out in its class. Additionally, the 5000mAh battery with 70W fast charging ensures reliable, long-lasting performance. However, the software experience (HiOS 14) feels less refined compared to stock Android, and video stabilization, speaker quality, and the lack of microSD storage expansion might deter some users. Despite these minor flaws, the Camon 30 Premier 5G offers significant value, making it an excellent choice for those seeking a stylish and high-performing 5G smartphone
