Review: TECNO CAMON 40 Premier 5G
The TECNO CAMON 40 Premier 5G, following last year's successful CAMON 30 Premier 5G, has made an impressive entrance to the market. This mid-range smartphone continues to challenge the notion that flagship features are exclusive to premium models.
Design and Ergonomics
The CAMON 40 Premier 5G is available in two captivating colors, vibrant turquoise and a poised gray, each featuring a subtle blend of cold metallic shades, despite the plastic body. The device sports a flat-edged design, with three separate buttons located on the right side—a larger power button, two smaller volume buttons, and the One-Tap Button on the left, which by default triggers the FlashSnap shooting mode.
A thin orange line adorns the camera module's design, complementing the ribbed metallic bezel around it, reminiscent of a classic camera lens. The accent color is also present on the smartphone's robust IP68/IP69-rated back panel, providing an extra layer of resilience against water and impacts.
Display
The CAMON 40 Premier 5G boasts a 6.67-inch AMOLED display with a Quad HD+ (2800 x 1260 pixels) resolution, offering a detail-rich and smooth user experience. The display's peak brightness reaches 4500 nits, ensuring remarkable visibility regardless of lighting conditions.
Performance
Powered by the octa-core MediaTek Dimensity 8350 Ultimate chipset, the CAMON 40 Premier 5G delivers solid performance and supports all modern mobile connectivity standards, including 5G SA. The device comes equipped with 12GB of RAM and a 256GB storage option, catering to demanding users.
AI-Powered Features and Smart Assistant Ella
Equipped with TECNO's proprietary HiOS 15 interface and the AI-focused voice assistant Ella, the CAMON 40 Premier 5G offers an impressive suite of AI features. Ella can help with mathematical problems, image analysis, and extending or removing objects from photos. Integration with Yandex services—Maps, Go, and “Eda”—ensures seamless navigation and service utilization.
Cameras
Having impressed with its shooting capabilities in the CAMON 30 Premier 5G, TECNO continues to shine in this department. The CAMON 40 Premier 5G is equipped with four 50MP cameras, each featuring notable improvements in software processing. The main camera, primary zoom camera, and selfie module all deliver impressive results in various shooting conditions.
Battery Life and Charging
The smartphone comes with a 5,100 mAh battery, ensuring a full day of active use. Fast charging with a 70W power adapter provides a 70% charge in just 30 minutes, and a full charge takes approximately 45 minutes.
Conclusion
The TECNO CAMON 40 Premier 5G stands out as an attractive offering in the mid-range segment, delivering excellent camera performance, a vibrant display, enhanced connectivity, and several useful AI features, all within an affordable price point. Despite its plastic body, the device's IP68/IP69 rating provides a level of resilience usually found in premium flagships. Overall, the CAMON 40 Premier 5G offers a compelling alternative to pricier flagships without compromising on essential features.
