Summary of the review

Third-party reviews

What we like about Tecno Camon 40 Pro 4G (12GB + 256GB)

  • Vibrant 120Hz AMOLED curved display with good brightness and contrast, protected by Corning Gorilla Glass 7i.
  • Excellent durability, featuring IP68/IP69 water and dust resistance, which is rare for its price range.
  • Solid performance for multitasking and popular games like PUBG and Call of Duty Mobile, with good thermal management.
  • Impressive camera system for the price, including a 50MP main sensor with OIS and a 50MP autofocus selfie camera.
  • Long-lasting 5200mAh battery with 45W fast charging, able to reach 50% in under 30 minutes.
  • Packed with advanced AI features, such as an AI assistant ('Ella') for tasks like summarizing texts and real-time call translation, usually found in more expensive flagship phones.
  • Runs on Android 15 with a promise of 3 years of OS and 4 years of security updates.
  • Good quality stereo speakers with Dolby Atmos support.

What we don't like about Tecno Camon 40 Pro 4G (12GB + 256GB)

  • The 8MP ultrawide camera performs poorly in low-light conditions, sometimes producing unusable results.
  • Video stabilization could be better, and the 4G model does not support 4K video recording.
  • Some users report software bugs or glitches, such as a volume issue when skipping videos or an unresponsive AI erase feature, although updates may fix these.
  • Touch responsiveness can be a little slow or require slightly longer swipes to register.
  • The HiOS software skin feels a little unpolished compared to competitors like Samsung's OneUI or Nothing OS.
  • No 3.5mm headphone jack.
  • Occasional overheating issues, especially without a phone cover.

Verdict

The Tecno Camon 40 Pro 4G features a 6.78-inch 120Hz AMOLED display protected by Corning Gorilla Glass 7i, a MediaTek Helio G100 Ultimate processor, 12GB of RAM, and 256GB of internal storage. Its camera system includes a 50MP main sensor with OIS and an 8MP ultrawide lens, complemented by an impressive 50MP autofocus selfie camera. A large 5200mAh battery with 45W fast charging and an IP68/IP69 rating for water and dust resistance round out the key specifications. Pros include the high-resolution, OIS-enabled main and autofocus selfie cameras, the durable build quality for its price point, large battery capacity, and a smooth 120Hz AMOLED display. A potential con is that the ultrawide camera performs poorly in low light conditions.
