Falling for Barcelona was like love at first sight, and the same goes for the new TECNO CAMON 40 Pro 5G when I saw it at MWC 2025. Before I get lost in my workload, let me share my thoughts on this stunning midranger.
Mesmerized by Design
Right off the bat, the CAMON 40 Pro 5G caught my eye with its sleek design. Usually, I go for bright colors, but this Galaxy Black variant stands out to me. It’s not just another boring black phone!
*If you prefer something flashier, there’s also Glacier White and Emerald Lake Green*
TECNO’s Side-Axis Design is still here, now moved to the left, blending seamlessly into a sexy camera island. They’ve dubbed this curve the “Swan-neck”—not just for aesthetics but also for comfort. It’s actually a joy to hold!
This phone is sleek, at just 7.29 mm thin, making it the slimmest in the CAMON 40 series. Lightweight too at just 179 grams; I could lift it with one finger!
A Display to Love
Moving on to the front, the CAMON 40 Pro 5G features a gorgeous 6.78-inch Full HD+ AMOLED display with a smooth 144Hz refresh rate. Honestly, it’s hard to tell the difference between this and a 120Hz display, but who would complain about more fluidity?
Even more beautiful with H2H in the view
I usually prefer flat or quad-curved displays, yet the dual-curved screen here is well-executed. With its brightness claiming “Ultra-Bright,” I found I could see everything clearly even in bright sunlight.
Speakers and Performance
The CAMON 40 Pro 5G has stereo speakers with Dolby Atmos. They’re decent but could use more richness. I often find myself cranking up the volume when shower jamming to hear it clearly!
Under the hood, it runs on the MediaTek Dimensity 7300 Ultimate. While it’s not the most powerful chipset, it handles daily tasks like a champ. With 8GB RAM and options for up to 24GB with MemFusion, multitasking is smooth.
Camera Capabilities
The camera is where things get exciting. The dual rear camera setup features a 50MP main sensor that delivers stunning photos, even at 2x zoom. And don’t underestimate the 8MP ultra-wide lens; it still performs well despite the downgrade.
Food photos? Super appetizing—perfect for Insta. I’ve noticed the FlashSnap feature, allowing quick shots of moving subjects. It’s great for capturing pets or playful kids.
Battery Life and Features
The 5200mAh battery is solid, lasting throughout my day with moderate use. And while the charging speed has dropped to 45W this year, it still gets the job done reasonably fast—under 80 minutes to full!
Conclusion
While the official price isn’t out yet, it’s expected to be competitive, especially with its camera performance and features. I’d say the downgrades are hardly deal-breakers. It’s an excellent phone that’s got style, a great display, and a solid camera setup. Keep an eye out when it launches in the Philippines—this one’s a worth-it gadget!
