Third-party reviews

What customers like about Tecno Camon 30 Pro (12GB + 512GB)

  • Sleek and premium design with a pleasant leather-like finish on the back.
  • Excellent display quality, a 6.78-inch AMOLED panel with a 144Hz refresh rate that is bright and clear.
  • Powerful performance for a mid-range phone, thanks to the MediaTek Dimensity 8200 Ultimate chipset, making it good for gaming and multitasking.
  • Impressive camera system, including a 50MP main sensor (Sony IMX890) with OIS, a 50MP ultrawide, and a 50MP autofocus selfie camera, capable of 4K 60fps video recording.
  • Long battery life (5000 mAh) that can last a full day with standard use.
  • Very fast 70W wired charging support, able to charge the phone quickly.
  • Good value for money, offering features often found in higher-end devices.
  • Includes thoughtful additions like stereo speakers with Dolby Atmos support and an IR blaster.
  • Comes with the current Android 14 version and an expected two major OS upgrades.

What customers don't like about Tecno Camon 30 Pro (12GB + 512GB)

  • Presence of pre-installed third-party apps (bloatware), some of which cannot be uninstalled.
  • The in-display fingerprint scanner can be troublesome or inconsistent at times.
  • Lack of an official IP rating for water and dust resistance.
  • Some users report occasional software bugs, such as issues with the flashlight widget or automatic refresh rate changes.
  • Absence of a 3.5mm headphone jack and no expandable storage (microSD card slot has been removed in the 5G model).
  • Camera photos, while good, may have somewhat muted colors compared to competitors.
  • The build, while sleek, can feel slightly less premium or 'plasticky' to some users, and the screen is noted as being delicate by one user.
  • Speakers are considered tinny and lack depth/bass by some reviewers.

Verdict

The Tecno Camon 30 Pro (12GB + 512GB) is a well-rounded 5G smartphone with strong specifications, featuring a 6.78-inch AMOLED display with a smooth 144Hz refresh rate and a powerful MediaTek Dimensity 8200 Ultimate 4nm processor for a fluid user experience and capable gaming performance. A major pro is its versatile camera system, including a 50MP OIS main camera, a 50MP ultrawide lens, and a 50MP autofocusing selfie camera, which capture good detail and vibrant images, even in low light. The large 5,000mAh battery with 70W fast charging provides excellent longevity and rapid recharging (0-100% in under 50 minutes). Cons include a lack of an official IP rating for water resistance, the presence of some un-installable third-party apps (bloatware), and a finicky in-display fingerprint sensor.
