REVIEW: The Tecno Camon 20 Premier Was Exquisitely Made
The plastic frame contrasts well with the back panel. It has a glossy glass finish (reflective layer) and is completely flat, so the phone can stand up on its own and feel solid in the palm of your hand, even if it's a bit thick.
We don't see much on the side, we only have the volume and power buttons on the right side. The SIM card tray (it doesn't support microSD) is now visible at the bottom, along with the USB-C port (used to charge headphones), a microphone and a single speaker grill. At the top, the company did something common again and added a microphone (the bottom microphone is the main one) and a speaker.
to show
The phone's screen has improved, even without the Corning Gorilla Glass protection (I'd love to say why). It has slim bezels which provide more space for a bigger screen. Speaking of screen size, it comes with a 6.67-inch Full HD+ AMOLED panel with 120GHz refresh rate. Plus, it supports HDR 10 content to deliver crisp black images.
The phone has a high brightness which allows you to use this screen outdoors in direct sunlight.
Your phone allows you to adjust the color scheme temperature, but we recommend that you leave the default setting sufficient. It comes with an always-on display feature where your screen never sleeps, and you can set it to show important information like the time, battery level, and notifications (if you want or have them). need).
A nice feature is that the screen has an eye protection feature to protect your eyes from blue light that prevents you from using the phone for long periods of time.
Performance
The phone is powered by MediaTek Dimensity 8050 chipset (a huge improvement over its predecessor, by the way) and delivers superior performance. After using the phone for the past few weeks, we haven't experienced any lag. Launching apps and multitasking were snappy, smooth and snappy - the phone's Antutu benchmark results were equally unimpressive. While some may say that the benchmark results don't paint the full picture of performance, we have to say that when using the Camon 20 Premier, you will definitely notice that it is very fast and smooth.
With HDR graphics and excellent frame rate (maximum frame rate for other games and default medium graphics for some games that run on low graphics), the phone delivers fast and smooth gameplay that won't bother you. has never been better. Don't forget to mention that the screen size was good enough for gaming/
We appreciate the 8GB of RAM (additional 8GB using memory integration technology to give 16GB) and the 512GB onboard storage for excellent performance. Built-in storage is not expandable as the phone supports microSD card. We think the company might stop using microSD cards in its devices.
The Camon 20 Premier comes with the latest Android 13 mobile operating system (running HIOS 13) and we are told that when Android 14 is released, the Camon 20 Premier (along with the previous Camon 19 Premier) will be part of it . The first phones to receive the update.
The camera
Yes, the camera is one of the highlights of the phone. The front camera housed in the belly notch has a 32 MP sensor and takes excellent photos and videos, but in good lighting conditions. In situations where the light is not good with the flash, the photos are average. Auto-HDR is enabled by default in the camera to let you take balanced photos and videos, and it's best to keep HDR disabled. The camera has an excellent stabilization function that allows you to record stable videos.
As for the rear cameras, the Camon 20 Premier has a 50MP main camera with OIS, a 108MP ultra-wide camera and a 2MP depth camera. Photos are captured correctly - you get beautiful skin tones and detail. Enhance color photos and add more saturation with AI camera (if AI feature is enabled). Like the front camera, Auto HDR is activated and thanks to the OIS function, it takes still videos. You can record 4K video at 30 fps. Unlike the rear camera, the front camera can record 2K video at 30fps.
Some cool features of the phone; Dual Mode that lets you record video with the front and rear cameras simultaneously, Sky Shop that automatically replaces the sky (thanks to AI ), and Super Macro for accurate close-up shots.
Battery
The Camon 20 Premier comes with a 5000mAh battery and if you are a light user it will last you a day and a half, if you are a medium user it will charge you at least once a day. And as for recharging, with a 45W fast charger: recharging from 0 to 100% (and we tested it ourselves) took 1h25.
Judge
Camon 20 Premier is more expensive. But the phone is affordable because it has plenty of storage, the processor is powerful, the build quality and design, the screen, sound and battery life are excellent, the availability of 5G and the improved cameras are worth mentioning. One downside the company should consider is the addition of Corning Gorilla Glass protection. Overall, the Tecno Camon 20 Premier is very well made.
