Tecno Unveils Its Latest Smartphones: The Camon 40 Series
At the Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2025, Tecno introduced an exciting lineup of four new smartphones within its Camon 40 series—these include the Camon 40 Premier, Camon 40 Pro 5G, Camon 40 Pro, and the standard Camon 40. Leading the pack is the Premier model, featuring the most advanced chipset along with superior display capabilities and enhanced camera options.
Variants Tailored for Diverse Markets
In a strategic move reminiscent of Xiaomi’s offerings, Tecno has launched its Pro model in two configurations—one with 5G capability and another limited to traditional LTE. Although both devices share similar features, the LTE version is tailored for users in regions where access to high-speed networks is still developing or those who prefer a more budget-friendly option.
We had hands-on experience with all four models; let’s dive into our detailed impressions of the standout device—the Tecno Camon 40 Premier.
