TECNO’s follow-up to the CAMON series is here, and it’s got some interesting upgrades, especially in the camera and battery.
The TECNO CAMON 50 Pro has a more refined design than its predecessor. It inherits the same layout, but is now flatter. You still have that vertical camera island, which looks a lot cleaner. It also comes in six different colorways.
What really stands out is the curved display and rear panel, and curvier four corners. This should make the device very comfortable and feel premium in the hands.
That screen is a 6.78-inch FHD+ AMOLED panel with a smooth 144Hz refresh rate. The fingerprint scanner is underneath the display.
Also on the display is the sharp 32-megapixel selfie camera. On the back, there’s a fancy 50-megapixel LYT-700C sensor from Sony with optical image stabilization. Like last year, the main camera is paired with an 8-megapixel ultra-wide.
But what makes this model special is the addition of a third camera, and it’s a capable one: a 50-megapixel telephoto lens that offers 3x optical zoom.
Powering the device is a MediaTek Helio G200 Ultimate processor, joined with 8GB of RAM, and 256GB of storage. It ships with HiOS 16, which is based on Android 16, and will receive 3 major OS updates.
Keeping the lights on is the upgraded 6,150mAh battery with 45W charging. The device is also fairly durable, having received IP68/69/69K dust and water resistance.
The TECNO CAMON 50 Pro was spotted in Africa with a starting price of KES44,000 (~Php19,700). It is expected to debut at MWC 2026 next month.
