If you look all phones released in the last 2 years, you will notice a few things:
- Basic and midrange phones has only one main useable camera, usually a 108MP sensor + 2MP useless sensors. They might have an ultrawide, but that's rare nowadays and it's becoming poorer in quality when they have it.
- More premium midranges might have an ultrawide camera that does "okay" photos, but nothing to brag off.
- Real premium midrange phones and the so called flagship killers usually has a great main sensor + good ultrawide camera. Some have a third useable camera, some still pack those 2MP sensors.
- Finally, flagship phones comes with all 3 cameras: Main wide sensor + ultrawide + telephoto or periscope. Some even has an extra back camera giving tele AND periscope, but at the cost of your kidney.

Notably, this is NOT a rule, but I noticed most brands working this way for some years to differentiate its phones categories. I remember when brands fought themselves to make midrange phones with 5 back cameras that gives, at best, mediocre results.

            Anders, 14 Apr 2024No headphone jack and no microSD when the Camon 20 Pro and ... moreI understand that the headphone jack and the micro SD card slot are important features for you, but they just aren't for most, and getting an iPhone certainly won't solve this problem. Especially not an old(er), or refurbished iPhone, wich might come with some issues, or one will experience some very soon, and at that point good luck with warranty. With Apple you'll also lock yourself into their eco-system, so you must buy original Apple products, or even more expensive products that have the license, for everything, to make anything work well, for example the headphone jack dongle, traveling for longer periods is also forbidden by the fruit company.

            Not to mention all the upgrades that the Camon 30 Pro has over the Camon 20 Pro 5G, like more ram and higher max storage, faster charging, better main camera and an additional high resolution (no 8MP junk here) ultrawide with AF for better pictures and macro shots. Then there is the SoC, which is 4nm instead of 6nm, and it's a lot faster.

            Tecno also launched the Camon 20s Pro 5G later last year, that still has a micro SD slot and a headphone jack, so that's still an option, if it's available, and there are also plenty of Sony Xperia phones with both features.

                Please specify what sd card storage is to be used in this phone. Also how many OS updates and security updates does this phone gets.

                        Please dont be so expensive in Ph. Otherwise, the Xiaomi Redmi Turbo 3 looks the best right now except that it doesn't have bypass charging

                            - The days were all phones have microSD slot and 3.5 headphone jack are gone. Get over it.

                            "Not to mention terrible software support."
                            - Some Youtube channels that did reviews of the phone said that Tecno promised 2 years of OS and security updates. GSM Arena review might confirm that info.

                            "Transsion can go F themselves. And so can any bootIicker praising this PoS."
                            - As if Tecno would deeply care about your offenses and stop its activities.

                            "Might as well just get an older iPhone. iPhone 13 Pro grade A refurbs can be had for €450"
                            - Go ahead, pal. No one is forcing you to like or buy anything. As long as you are happy with whatever you buy instead of writing bizarre comments like this, that's great.

                                iPhones don't have headphone jacks nor SD cards slots themselves so you're contradicting yourself. iPhone 13 series is the last good set of iPhones Apple made, behind 6s and XR, of course.

                                I also get that you guys love your wired headphones and your SD card slots. I understand the SD card slots but headphone jacks are not coming back. You two options are to buy a dongle, still ensuring 0 latency or just go with the bluetooth route. There are only roughly 10 phones with both SD Card slot and 3.5mm jack and those phones are usable, with 6GB of RAM, 90hz, 128GB storage, telephoto and much more.

                                  No headphone jack and no microSD when the Camon 20 Pro and Pro 5G had both. Not to mention terrible software support. Transsion can go F themselves. And so can any bootIicker praising this PoS.

                                      Not too happy with the depth sensor but I'd let Tecno slide with this one. This phone is an INSANE package, it even comes with TWS earbuds!

                                        Bundling everything necessary, and even wireless earphones with the phone is crazy!
