Nick, 08 Jul 2023Lol overprice, v27 is much better for same price How is it overprice when both specs are similar dude
Like the specs are nearly identical..
Youre only saying this cause you think vivo having curved screen automatically wins, and this makes tecno look overpriced
When its not. Tecno have more somewhat symmetrical screen like poco f5 and a 512 storage
Vivo has curved screen and have a bit more better camera than the tecno camon
Its basically a tie

Is the regul... moreAfter owning the Tecno Camon 20 Pro for few days, I am pleasantly surprised with the amount of hardware and more than expected user experience it is able to deliver for its mere asking price. In a word AWESOME. And that too from a not so well recognized brand like Tecno in India.
Just a week before I got their last year's flagship, the Phantom X from Amazon, at half its normal price. At just ₹13.3K($160). Great device with flagship built quality at this price. They were providing unreal exchange prices which were just too hard to resist. For my nine year old Motorola Moto G (2014) no one was even ready to shell out a dime. But here I got an exchange value of ₹7.45K($80). So I had the Phantom X at a heartbeat.
As such I was not ready to invest on any new phone for now, but the offer price of Tecno Camon 20 Pro on Amazon was just even more unreal. So had to get one for my wife. Hence I got the 8/128GB variant of Camon 20 Pro. This phone normally sells for ₹20K($240) in India. This time I exchanged my wife's nine year old Motorola Moto G (2014) and got an even better exchange value of ₹8.45K($100). After adding additional ₹2K($25) flat discount on any card it all came down to ₹9.55K($115). This is an unreal price for such a device, you see these deals once in a blue moon.
Considering the Camon 20 Pro was launched just two months back on 27th May 2023 in India, it comes with latest specs from top to bottom. On the exterior the phone comes with a boxy design having a very unique sky blue coloured vegan leather back. The polygon shaped camera bump is a very unique design which I have never seen before. The phone as a whole makes a very attention grabbing statement in terms of bold design and comes with unique aesthetics which is unseen in this price category. I heard it has own some design awards too. I don't like the chrome coloured glossy plastic sides though, they are fingerprint magnet.
On the front you are greeted with a gorgeous 6.67 inch, FullHD+, 120Hz refresh, HDR10 certified, 10-bit AMOLED panel which is just made for multimedia consumption. It is plenty bright at near 1000 nits, has under display fingerprint scanner and comes with very narrow bezels. It makes the phone look very modern and premium. Also it has with an amazing 1920Hz PMW so almost no strain or eye fatigue. It is the most amazing display you get under $150. It is same display you get in much more expensive Techo Camon 20 Premier. Full marks to Tecno for design and display.
The phone comes with the best SoC you can ever get under ₹20K($240). I am talking about the Mediatek Dimensity 8050 based of TSMC 6nm fabrication process. This SoC is a direct descendent of Dimensity 1200 so it just blows all previous SoCs available in this price segment out of the water in terms of pure performance when coupled with 8GB LPDDR4X RAM. Everything you try just glides as feels butter smooth in operation. I am not a heavy gamer though.
On connectivity front, its supports 10 5G bands. All 5G bands in India are supported and this is also a proper dual 5G SIM phone. I tested 5G connectivity with JIO, no issues. It has support for WiFi 6 and NFC. I do not use NFC now but it may become handy later. It also has support for memory card expansion which is a huge bonus.
On audio front too it has everything covered. DTS certified dual stereo speakers which are loud. The GOD sent 3.5mm HiRes certified audio jack is also present. I am yet to speak about its camera performance which is one of the best you can get for this price. On the software, battery, charging and camera front, I will write more on my next post.
Remember, Camon 20 Premier and Camon 20 Pro are the same phone. Tecno sell 20 Premier for ₹30K($360) with a slightly better camera and faster charging while omitting the very important microSD card slot and the audio jack. Everything else are identical. Camon 20 Pro is just better value for money.
In short I don't know if Tecno is doing some kind of media stunt, but at the price of ₹9.55K($115) just grab Camon 20 Pro while you can by exchanging with any 10 year old near dead phone and in having $100 slashed off from its asking price.

I thought the fingerprint is supposed to be side mounted not at the back. It's a kind of downgrade for me .
