Tecno recently released the Camon 40 Pro 5G, less than a month after the 4G version. It looks very similar to the 4G model but comes with a better display and a stronger processor. Even with its affordable price, it has some unique design features that make it stand out.
Design and Build
The Camon 40 Pro 5G has a simple but stylish design. The camera area is big and placed on the upper left, stretching down the back. Unlike other phones, Tecno made it smooth with a continuous curve, which feels very clean and seamless.
The back has a matte finish with shiny highlights, like a wet rock. It resists fingerprints well. There are also orange accents, including a special button on the side, which adds a splash of color.
Display
The phone comes with a 6.78-inch AMOLED display. It has a 1080p resolution and a 144Hz refresh rate, which is higher than the 4G version’s 120Hz.

| Type | AMOLED |
| Resolution | 1080p |
| Refresh rate | 144Hz |

The curved edges are mostly for looks and don’t add much. The screen works fine outdoors, but it is not as bright as premium phones.
Cameras
The Camon 40 Pro 5G has a triple-lens camera on the back. The main lens is 50MP with OIS, paired with an 8MP ultra-wide lens and a flicker sensor. Up front, there is another 50MP camera with autofocus.

The phone also has an infrared blaster to control home devices and stereo speakers that support Dolby Atmos for better sound.

- LED indicator – Shows notifications, charging status, and recording.
- One-Tap Button – Can be set to open apps or perform actions. It works with double or long presses.
