Hands-on review · Sleek camera phone
Verdict
The Tecno Camon 19 Pro 5G is the sleekest Camon so far, with a faster chip than the 4G model, but it records video only up to 2K.

Verdict

The Tecno Camon 19 Pro 5G is an upper-mid-range smartphone featuring a 6.8-inch FHD+ IPS LCD display with a 120Hz refresh rate, powered by a MediaTek Dimensity 810 processor, and equipped with a substantial 8GB of RAM and 256GB of internal storage (expandable via microSD). Its main pros include 5G connectivity, a capable 64MP main camera with OIS and an RGBW sensor for enhanced low-light performance, a large 5000mAh battery, and 33W fast charging. Primary cons include the use of an IPS LCD panel instead of the more vibrant AMOLED found on some competitors, the absence of an ultrawide camera lens, no 4K video recording support (maxing out at 2K/1080p), and a single mono speaker setup.
