Subsequent software updates were not optimised properly for the phone's processor that's the reason for the downfall due to heat and battery issues... Maybe I hope Android 15 update can fix this...

I just purchased the Camon 40 Pro 5G with a curved screen and I'm worried about its durability. Mine has Gorilla Glass 7i and yours has Gorilla Glass 5 so mine should at least be more durable. Have you dropped yours?

I bought this phone for 120 dollars on market place it was good not until i saw that it doesn't last a day. Processor is Overpowered but the software? Just no. I believe because this wasn't optimize that's why its power hunger. It only last 5 hours or less for socmeds(if you switch it to 60hz) and 2 hours or less when playing even ay lowest graphics. Then yeah i end up just selling it. The phone's problem is heating issue and software issue. Hardware because the dimensity 8050 is not optimized for this phone and software because its power hunger.
This phone is already 2 years old idk if there's still hope that they update it but my advise is just buy some reliable brands instead of tecno and infinix both of this company is not reliable. Everything about tecno and infinix is just hype.

krishofficial, 23 Apr 2025I guess android 14 (HiOS 14) update for Camon 20 Pro 5G was... moreYes, I admit the Tecno Phantom X2 Pro is a flagship phone and just on another level compared to my Camon 20 Pro.
Personally I still prefer my Phantom X (not X2 Pro) over my Camon 20 Pro even today, though the former is a 4G handset with Helios G95. I have matured enough to understand specs on paper are not the most important thing. It may sound absurd but even today the Phantom X gives me a better user experience than my Camon 20 Pro. It is the overall package of flagships, the build quality, the camera quality, attention to every minute details, the absolute cohesion and optimization between software and hardware, the smoothness in UI. All of this results in better user experience. I won't even have believed that Helios G95 can better Dimensity 8050 in my Camon in terms of overall user experience. But that I own both phones and have used them extensively I now believe and use the Phantom X over my Camon any day.
Not to mention sometimes during online clearance sales the Phantom phones are available with 60% off over launch price. Considering 2 years back I paid ₹16.2K [$195] for Phantom X after exchange of my 10 year old Motorola Moto G with dead battery, I have no complaints. And then the Phantom X2 Pro after discounts at ₹23K [$277] was a sweat deal.

March 5 2025 patch?Just did the V505 update.
I'll watch it for 2 days to see if there's any improvement
But honestly I think only a HIOS 14.5 or HiOS 15 update can fix the issue

Although I have downgraded to Android 13 via official service centre, the battery life is still worst, idk what happened cuz I don't charge above 85% and let it below 20%, and no frequently charging the phone. When I asked the service centre, they said since the software was also replaced with the factory version, battery might have to be replaced... Since it costs a good amount of money, and the phone's warranty has ended (just over 1 year), I feel like to keep this thing for some time and exchange someday... Except the battery drain, the phone's performance, camera, storage speed, connectivity etc are really good for its price (at least in factory software version). And, about that Phantom X2 Pro, yeah since it's flagship stuff, Tecno folks would keep a better eye on it... And, if anyone had updated to the latest patch, can ya share the patch notes and say if there's any changes (for Camon 20 Pro 5G)??

krishofficial, 01 Apr 2025I've said about that elaborately in one of my previous... moreI own two phones from Tecno, the Phantom X2 Pro and the Camon 20 Pro. While both are currently running Android 14, I am having very different software experiences with both of them in daily use.
My Camon 20 Pro is running HiOS 14 overlay on top on Android 14 and after this update with the latest patch running, the overall performance, battery backup are much worse over previous Android 13.
On the other hand my Phantom X2 Pro is running HiOS 14.5 overlay on top on Android 14 and it feels and operates as good as the initial Android 12 with which it was launched. Everything is liquid smooth on the UI, no lags nothing. No performance degradation, no extra heat. Battery backup is as awesome as it was on previous Android versions.
The only difference I noticed in the software front by Tecno is Phantom X2 Pro have received TÜV SÜD 36-month Fluency Rating A for its long-term system fluency. I am not so clear about this certification but it seems they are gauging effectiveness of the synergy between hardware and software in terms of smartphone fluency over 36 month period (2 year of major Android update and 3 years of security updates). Camon 20 Pro does not come with any software fluency rating. It seems all their flagship Phantom series phones comes with this TÜV SÜD Fluency Rating A as they spend more money and resources to better optimize the software with each major upgrade.
