What we don't like about Tecno Camon 30S Pro (8GB + 256GB)

  • The camera struggles in low-light conditions, producing grainy or slow-to-capture images.
  • Lacks 5G connectivity, which is a notable omission compared to some competitors in the same price range.
  • Software experience can include pre-installed apps with pop-up notifications (bloatware) and occasional minor bugs like non-functional widgets or connectivity glitches.
  • Average haptic feedback that feels too strong with no intensity adjustment option.
  • No ultra-wide angle camera or a microSD card expansion slot.
  • The display's brightness may not be exceptional under direct sunlight.
  • Build materials on some variants are plastic, and the type of protective glass (Gorilla Glass 5) is considered basic by some users compared to competitors.

Verdict

The Tecno Camon 30S Pro (8GB + 256GB) is a mid-range 4G smartphone that features a 6.78-inch FHD+ AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate and 1300 nits peak brightness, powered by a MediaTek Helio G100 processor and running Android 14.
