For those who rushed to pick up the Tecno Camon X after its release, a number of things would be running through their minds right now. More storage space? A screen with higher resolution and aspect ratio? These and many more come with the phone which was released in 2018 along with the Tecno Camon X, Yes! I’m talking about the Tecno Camon X Pro.
This phone hit stores at the same time as the Tecno Camon X, which is a lower variant and is worthy of being called the “deal breaker” as it boasts even more upgrades than the Camon X.
The Camon X Pro, a sequel to the Camon CX, comes in Bordeaux Red and Midnight Black, houses Face ID, 1080 x 2160 pixel display, 4GB of RAM, 64GB of internal memory (ROM) and many others is what I call Tecno’s best smartphone on the market.
In this review, I would be highlighting 10 new features of the Tecno Camon X Pro and the hiccups, those features we hate.
Screen Tecno Camon X Pro
- Camon X Pro comes with a 6.0-inch IPS screen with Gorilla Glass 4. A screen built to resist, which is not lacking in the display as it has an aspect ratio of 18.9 and a resolution of 2160 x 1080 pixels. . HD graphics! A big step forward for gamers and movie lovers.
- Sunlight readability with a brightness level of up to 500 nit. Which means you can enjoy interacting with your phone screen, in the sunlight, in the dark, at any time of the day.

Camera
- A mind-blowing 24-megapixel front-facing f/20 dual-LED camera has HDR capabilities and AI beauty; where installed algorithms are put to work to beautify your images.
- A rear camera with a 16-megapixel sensor and f/20 aperture that guarantees great photos as it has a faster focus than its predecessors. Capable of delivering quality photos in good and even poor lighting conditions with its four-LED flash.
Note: However, I would like to point out that the Camon X Pro does not have a really good camera, I mean it is perfect for low light, as much as we would expect. The front camera isn’t as good as the Camon CX, and I wouldn’t have upgraded if the camera was my thing.
I was hoping that with the massive 24MP front camera we’d get something great, but what we got was way below average. It’s even worse when you try to take pictures at night. So here is my HONEST shot of the camera, I hope you can make an informed decision after reading this.
Tecno Camon X Pro
Hardware
- Inside the Camon X Pro is MediaTek’s system on a chip; Helio P23 octa-core, which is more powerful than Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 430. A processor that is based on a 64-bit architecture that brings together eight ARM Cortex-A53 cores that has an integrated Mali-G71 MP3 graphics processor that runs at 770 MHz.
- More speed and more storage space for hoarders; The Camon X Pro features 4GB RAM and 64GB internal memory (ROM) with an SD card slot, plus expandable storage space.
- On the back of the phone is the Camon X Pros fingerprint sensor, which is much faster than the one on the Phantom 8. This more accurate fingerprint sensor is built in a way that allows for better finger placement.

Software
- The new HiOS V3.3 layered Android Oreo 8.1 keeps the Camon X Pro in sync with all other smartphones running the Android OS, and it doesn’t seem to be getting old any time soon, as you can upgrade to the next OS version when that time arrives. moment. .
- The Camon X Pro takes security one step further with Face ID. By taking a detailed map of your face, Face ID is much faster compared to the Iris scanner, giving you the option to unlock your phone just by looking at the Camon X Pro’s front camera.
Tecno Camon X Pro
Battery
- Its battery, with a capacity of 3750 mAh, would keep your phone awake with 4 to 5 hours of screen time.
Just as there are a number of notable things to look forward to in the Camon X Pro, here are a number of things to look forward to.
can’t like it:
- With mid-range Adreno GPUs built into Qualcomm chips, be sure to expect some hiccups during gameplay due to its graphics chip.
- Some apps found on HiOS could really have been removed, they just sit there redundant. I mean, who needs an app for something you can access in the settings menu?
- Without optical image stabilization (OIS) and pro mode, the camera doesn’t seem as limitless as you’d hope.
our verdict
The Tecno Camon X Pro, Tecno’s best Camon to date, boasting continuous performance, decent battery life and plenty of camera power, the main feature the Camon series is known for. This is a phone you won’t want to replace anytime soon, hopefully until Tecno releases another. It’s not a disappointment, but a statement of maturity from Chinese OEMs.
