So far, the Tecno Camon 30 series included 4G and 5G variants of the base model, a Pro model, and a Premier version with a knack for imaging. Now the company has added another member to the series, and this one is equally eye-catching. Let's discuss more on the Tecno Camon 30S Pro in this article.
Apart from the processor, the Tecno Camon 30S Pro comes with 8GB RAM and 256GB internal storage. It allows you to double the memory virtually achieving a combined RAM of 16GB. In the meantime, the expandability of the storage is unclear. The phone boots on Android 14 with its custom HIOS skin on top.
On the front, you are looking at a 6.78-inch curved AMOLED panel with FHD+ resolution. The screen also supports a high refresh rate and PWM dimming of 120Hz and 2,160Hz respectively. Moreover, the Tecno Camon 30S Pro screen can reach a peak brightness of 1,300 nits with a full DCI-P3 colour gamut.
The phone packs another 50MP shooter on the front, capable of autofocus eye-tracking selfies. Tecno also mentions built-in front dual-flash comprising of physical lighting coupled with algorithmic Super Flash Light. Since the Tecno Camon 30S Pro has a hole-punch cutout up front, the physical lighting is likely achieved with screen brightening where the phone does some processing afterwards to give images a more natural look. The whole camera setup is complete with Tecno's Universal Tone introduced back during the Future Lens event, and some AI magic like the AIGC Portrait and AI Eraser.
Apart from that, Tecno offers some other nifty features as well. Like, it utilises Carrier Aggregation 2.0 technology on the Camon 30S Pro. With this, the phone offers 4.5G cellular connectivity that can reach a downlink speed of up to 300Mbps. Additionally, it is also equipped with an IR blaster that allows it to control 15 different types of devices ranging from Robo Vacuum Cleaners to DVD players.
Tecno Camon 30S Pro Overview
MediaTek Helio G100
This phone is the first in the world to feature the MediaTek Helio G100 chipset. Not much information about the processor is available currently. Tecno mentions that it is a 6nm chipset with a 7% performance boost in CPU. However, they do not mention with which chipset the comparison was made with. It is likely the MediaTek Helio G99, which would put its peak clock speed at 2.35 GHz.Design and Display
In terms of design, the Tecno Camon 30S Pro has a similar blueprint to its other series members. But, it looks a bit too similar to the OnePlus 12 with the large circular camera dial aligned near the phone's edge. The dial is then surrounded by texts related to a camera like the sensor name and size, megapixels, focal length, and so on. Moving on, the Interstellar Grey and Shim Silver Green options have circular patterns going all across the back panel. Meanwhile, the Pearl Gold option has a leather finish. The phone is also IP53 water and dust-resistant with Aqua Touch support allowing for smoother navigation even when the screen or hands are wet.- You may also like:
Camera
Similar to its Premier counterpart, the Tecno Camon 30S Pro leans heavily on its imaging capability. This phone also comes with a Sony sensor, specifically the IMX896 with an area of 1/1.56 inches. Furthermore, it scales to 50MP in resolution, but Tecno also mentions 100MP ultra-clear mode on its product page. We will have to wait and see what that is about. The rear camera setup is complete with a 2MP depth sensor and a light sensor.Battery and the rest
In the tank, the phone packs a 5,000 mAh battery with 45W wired and 20W wireless charging support. You can also toggle between the three different charging styles based on your needs. The Tecno Camon 30S Pro comes with a magnetic charging case that lets you snap the wireless charger in place. This is pretty much like Apple's MagSafe technology but on a budget.Tecno Camon 30S Pro Specifications
