TECNO CAMON 17, 17 Pro Specifications and Features

The TECNO 17 sports a 6.6-inch punch-hole LCD panel with a resolution of  720 x 1600 pixels, 267 PPI, and a 90Hz refresh rate. The screen has 450 nits peak brightness and a 90% screen-to-body ratio.

Whereas, the TECNO 17 Pro flaunts a slightly larger 6.8inch punch-hole LCD panel with a better resolution of 1080 x 2460 pixels (FHD+), 395 PPI, and a 90Hz refresh rate. The display is even brighter at 500 nits peak brightness but has a lower 82% screen-to-body ratio.

Talking about the silicon, the vanilla model features a MediaTek Helio G85 SoC, while the Pro variant comes with a MediaTek Helio G95 SoC. Both feature 128GB internal storage in India. However, the latter phone arrives with 8GB RAM as opposed to 6GB RAM on the former.

As far as optics are concerned, the CAMON 17 houses a 48MP (wide) + 2MP (depth) +  QVGA sensor (AI) triple camera setup on the back and a 16MP selfie camera. On the other hand, the CAMON 17 Pro sports a quad-camera setup on the rear consisting of a 64MP primary sensor, an 8MP ultra-wide unit, a 2MP depth sensor, and a 2MP monochrome sensor. For selfies and video calls, the handset uses a 48MP snapper.

On the connectivity front, the duo supports dual-SIM, 4G, dual-band WiFi, Bluetooth 5.0, GNSS, and a 3.5mm headphone jack. Interestingly, the vanilla version flaunts a MicroUSB port instead of a USB Typ-C port like the Pro version. They come with a MicroSD card slot and essential sensors like a fingerprint sensor, an ambient light sensor, an accelerometer, and a proximity sensor. Additionally, the Pro gets a compass a well as stereo speakers.

Last but not least, the TECNO CAMON 17 and TECNO CAMON 17 Pro run HiOS 7.6 based on Android 11 and are backed by a 5,000mAh battery. The former is limited to 18W charging, whereas the latter supports 33W fast charging.
