What we like about Tecno Camon 40 Pro 5G (12GB + 256GB)

  • Impressive main camera (50MP Sony LYT-700C sensor) that performs well in good light and even acceptably in low light, with natural skin tone rendering and detail preservation.
  • High-quality 6.78-inch AMOLED curved display with a 144Hz refresh rate and 1600 nits peak brightness, offering a smooth and bright viewing experience even in direct sunlight.
  • Excellent durability features for its price point, including an IP68/IP69 water and dust resistance rating and Corning Gorilla Glass 7i protection.
  • Modern and sleek design with a thin, lightweight profile that is comfortable to hold.
  • Good performance for everyday tasks, multitasking, and light gaming due to the MediaTek Dimensity 7300 processor and optimized software.
  • A 50MP selfie camera with autofocus, a rare and impressive feature for a phone in this price range.
  • The inclusion of stereo speakers with Dolby Atmos support, which are balanced for media consumption.
  • Promises a good software support policy with 3 years of OS and 4 years of security updates.
  • Useful AI features integrated into the software, such as an AI assistant and photo editing tools.

What we don't like about Tecno Camon 40 Pro 5G (12GB + 256GB)

  • The ultra-wide camera (8MP) performance is mediocre, especially in low-light conditions where details can be lost.
  • Some users reported heating issues, even during simple tasks like watching YouTube or using a hotspot.
  • The 144Hz refresh rate is not consistently available across all apps and dynamically adjusts, often maxing out at 120Hz in actual usage.
  • The software (HiOS) can feel unpolished, contains some pre-installed bloatware/ads, and some users reported bugs after software updates (e.g., speaker issues).
  • The in-display fingerprint sensor is noted as being slow and sometimes requires a hard press, especially with wet hands.
  • Speakers are not very loud, which can be an issue in noisy environments like the shower.
  • No expandable storage (microSD card slot) available.
  • Performance is considered a downgrade in raw power compared to the predecessor's chipset (Dimensity 8200).
  • Some build quality concerns were mentioned in user reviews, such as hardware components coming loose.

Verdict

The Tecno Camon 40 Pro 5G is a feature-packed mid-range smartphone equipped with a MediaTek Dimensity 7300 Ultimate processor, 12GB of RAM, and 256GB of internal storage. Main characteristics include a large 6.78-inch 144Hz AMOLED display with Corning Gorilla Glass 7i protection, an OIS-enabled 50MP main rear camera accompanied by an 8MP ultrawide lens, and a 50MP autofocus selfie camera. Key pros are its impressive IP68/IP69 dust and water resistance (rare for its price segment), a substantial 5200mAh battery with 45W fast charging, and a comprehensive suite of AI-powered software features. Primary cons include the fact that the 144Hz refresh rate only works in the settings menu, with a max of 120Hz in actual use, the ultrawide camera performance is mediocre in low light, and the overall software experience (HiOS) can feel slightly unpolished compared to competitors' interfaces.
