With powerful chipsets, high-refresh displays, massive batteries, and advanced cameras, these 5 smartphones, ranging from entry-level to high-end, cater to the needs of users looking for phones under different price segments. However, these prices are subject to change.

Tecno, known for delivering feature-packed smartphones at budget-friendly prices, continues to push boundaries with its camera-focused Camon series. The Tecno CAMON 40 Pro, expected to be released in Q2, 2025, brings major upgrades in photography, performance, and display. In this review, we will explore its strengths and weaknesses in design, display, camera, battery life, gaming performance, and more.  Key Features of Tecno CAMON 40 Pro . Design and Build Quality The Tecno Camon 40 Pro features a sleek design with dimensions of 164.3 x 74.6 x 7.3 mm and a weight of 179g. Its slim profile is complemented by an IP68/IP69 rating, ensuring dust tightness and water resistance up to 2 meters for 30 minutes. The device is protected by Corning Gorilla Glass 7i, offering durability against scratches and minor impacts.  In comparison, the Tecno Camon 30 Pro measures slightly thicker at 7.7 mm and weighs 188.6g, while the Infinix Note 50 4G is heavier at 199g but features an aerospace-grade aluminium frame with an RGB notification light on the back panel. In contrast, the Oppo K13 5G is the heaviest of the group, weighing 208g with an 8.5 mm thickness, and it also features IP65-rated dust and water resistance.  Read more: Infinix Note 50 Pro Plus Review: Is it a value-for-money midrange smartphone? Display Quality Like the Camon 30 Pro, the Camon 40 Pro boasts a 6.78-inch AMOLED display with a resolution of 1080 x 2436 pixels, resulting in a pixel density of approximately 393 ppi. The screen supports a 144Hz refresh rate and HDR image support, providing smooth visuals and vibrant colours, which was also offered by the ancestor Camon 30 Pro. Corning Gorilla Glass 7i protects the display and features an always-on display function.  The Infinix Note 50 4G matches the Camon 40 Pro’s 144Hz refresh rate but goes a step further with a peak brightness of 1300 nits, making it easier to see in bright light. Meanwhile, the Oppo K13 offers a slightly smaller 6.67-inch AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate but a lower peak brightness of 1200 nits. This gives the Infinix Note 50 4G a clear edge in display visibility.  Camera Performance The Camon 40 Pro is equipped with a dual rear camera setup, comprising a 50 MP primary sensor with an f/1.9 aperture, 1/1.56" sensor size, 1.0µm pixel size, PDAF, and OIS, along with an 8 MP ultrawide lens. This configuration supports 4K video recording at 30/60 fps and 1080p at 30 fps. The front camera features a 50 MP sensor with an f/2.5 aperture, 24mm focal length, 1/2.8" sensor size, 0.64µm pixel size, and PDAF.  Read more: vivo iQoo Neo 10R Review: What’s new? On the other hand, the Camon 30 Pro offers a triple rear camera setup with two 50 MP sensors (wide and ultrawide) and a 2 MP depth sensor, along with a 50 MP front camera. The downgrade of the ultrawide camera from 50MP to 8 MP in the Camon 40 Pro is disheartening. The Oppo K13 is equipped with a 50 MP primary camera featuring an f/1.9 aperture, accompanied by a 2 MP depth sensor. On the front, it features a 16 MP selfie camera with an f/2.5 aperture.​ It can capture 4K video at maximum. The Infinix Note 50 4G features a 50 MP main camera with an f/1.9 aperture and a 2 MP macro lens, while the front camera is 13 MP with an f/2.2 aperture. Capturing 1440p at highest capacity, it falls behind the race.

Processor Performance  The Camon 40 Pro is powered by the Mediatek Dimensity 7300 chipset, built on a 4nm process, featuring an octa-core CPU (4x2.5 GHz Cortex-A78 & 4x2.0 GHz Cortex-A55) and a Mali-G615 MC2 GPU.

Gaming Performance  Powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 7300 4nm chipset and Mali-G615 MC2 GPU, the Camon 40 Pro offers smooth performance for casual gaming and handles moderate multitasking efficiently. However, users may notice occasional frame drops during more demanding games or intensive usage. With its Dimensity 8200 Ultimate chipset and Mali-G610 MC6 GPU, the Camon 30 Pro delivers a stronger gaming experience, smoothly handling high-end games without lag. The Infinix Note 50 4G provides similar gaming capabilities as the Camon 40 Pro, while the Oppo K13, with its Snapdragon 6 Gen 4 chipset and Adreno 810 GPU, offers competitive gaming performance in its segment.​ Read more: Samsung Galaxy A36 5G Review: A Mid-range marvel with standard features Battery Life  The Camon 40 Pro is equipped with a 5200 mAh battery, supporting 45W wired charging, capable of reaching 50% charge in 23 minutes and 100% in 43 minutes.
