Okay so I'm going to go by category and address all the points I can. I've been using the phone for as of this post 7 days. And here are my thoughts.
Display:
For this price range the display is great. 120hz AMOLED with HDR 10. The display is bright and visible in harsh sun.
The bezels are also really thin(I'm looking at you Samsung A54😑). It gives the device a premium feel. The display is really well done Tecno really out did themselves at this price.
The also fixed the response time of the screen which was an annoying issue on the 19 series.
My only issue with the screen is that auto brightness either goes too bright or too dim and doesn't adapt to your preferences for different light levels like Samsung does which makes it annoying sometimes.
Aside that it's a great display for the price
8/10..
Performance
Now this is the most important part of a phone to me.
I'm a heavy gamer and I like to push my tech to the limit..
This phone runs on the dimensity 8050 ,which people even GSM arena are ragging on because it's a rebranded old Chipset of a rebrand.
Honestly (again at this price) who gives a hell.
This chip punches way above it's competitors in terms of all raw performance. It's a good chip and I feel safe saying it's flagship class..
Genshin impact
Run well on the highest graphics
Ranging around 45 to 60 fps mark.
Though you will experience large dips in dense fights
And prolonged play.
Specially if you put on 120hz.
I recommend 90 or 60 to help keep a more stable fps.
Call of duty mobile
High on everything with all toggles switch on super resolution,etc.
Run very well but again put on the 120hz and the chip will throttle.
Put in simply Chip is great for multitasking and playing video games.
But here comes my issue. Thermals.
The chip gets hot way to easily. I get that in video games but sometimes it's warm for no reason.
Apart from the thermals the chip does great and I'd highly recommend if you are a gamer especially in this price point.
7.5/10
Design
Love it or hate it. It's unique the leather back and the camera island looks exaggerated but the feel of the whole phone is great in the hand(though it might take some time getting used to leather back it grows on you).
If you told someone it cost double of it's actually price they'd believe and the design is sure to get people asking questions. So it's a great flex if you care about that😅
9/10
Battery
Here I have mixed opinions it's seems to die quicker and charge slower than the 19 series which I found very odd. But I feel bad for complaining because the 19 series had a weaker Chipset and a dimmer screen but that's on battery life.
On the topic of charging I'm pissed my 19 pro 4g charges from 0 to 100 in roughly 1hr 5mins.
This 20 pro 5g the successor charges in 1hr 30mins
But they are the same wattage. 33w
Hell Samsung phones with 25watts charge faster
And to any one who brings the battery health argument.
Tecno should gives a toggle to turn it on or off.
6/10
Camera
The camera is great 65% of the time.
It takes great landscape abd scenery shots.
But indoors in complex light it sucks.
I say that because the AI camera does configure it's self properly for shots.
Compared to the 19 pro Series with same sensor this one is worse.
It's seems Tecno focused too much on shutter speed and forgot a good picture comes first.
There's noise around the edges of pictures, blurred subjects and inconsistent hdr.
I thought I had a defective unit but when I use pro mode j can eliminate the noise and produce sharper pictures. Hopefully fixed in a future update
The Marco and depth are useless😤
4/10
Software
The software Hios is fine nothing groundbreaking.
But it does gets annoying with all the bloatware which I eliminate the second I see them.
Conclusion
The Tecno Camon 20 pro 5g is a good and for the price it does very.
If screen and performance matter to you then this phon is the best deal. But if you care about camera stay the hell away from this phone

tunknown, 12 Jul 2023downside with this brand 33 w charging quite good and no ... morePersonally I am not a big fan for fast charging as it only reduces the battery longevity. I have smartphones which came with wall chargers ranging from mere 5 watts to 80 watts. No matter which phone I always use a 10 watts charger to keep the battery lasting long and always try to limit charging to 85% max.

AvgpPhPhoneUser, 10 Jul 2023oh wow are phones slowly leaving 12mp? starting to go to 16... moreWhat I can say is Tecno is trying to improve Camon 20 Pro's camera performance by continuously pushing new OTA updates. Considering the phone launched 2 months back, I have already received 2 software updates with below camera improvements:
1) Optimized the stabilization effect of the front camera in the video mode
2) Optimized the shooting effects of the rear camera in Face Retouching mode
3) Optimized makeup effect of videos.
All in all I say the stabilization of videos, front and back with OIS have improved after this updates. It seems Transsion Holding have invested hugely on camera software and its algorithms and now it is paying the dividends. The rear can shoot videos at 4k@30fps max.
Simply put for this price, you cannot ask more.
