As per Twitter teasers, the Tecno Camon 19 Pro 5G is teased to come with slim bezels measuring 0.98mm. It has a punch-hole cutout at the centre of the screen and the volume rocker + power buttons are located on the right side of the device. The device has a boxy form factor.

The post Tecno Camon 19 Pro 5G teased to launch in India soon appeared first on Gizmochina.

Last week, Tecno launched the Camon 19 series of smartphones consisting of four models in total. These are the Camon 19 Pro 5G, Camon 19 Pro, Camon 19 Neo, and the Camon 19. So what’s special and unique about these smartphones? Let’s find out.

Camera system (Samsung RGBW sensor)

The Camon 19 Pro 5G is the first device to debut with Samsung’s ISOCELL RGBW color filter sensor which includes a white sub-pixel to the existing universal RGB configurations on phones.

The white sub-pixel allows the sensor to capture more light while avoiding damage to the red, green, and blue sub-pixels. By capturing more light, the sensor is able to produce brighter and clearer images in well-lit as well as low-light conditions.

Tecno has attached this sensor to a 64-megapixel camera system that has Tecno’s Glass + Plastic (G+P) lens. The G + P technology replaces plastic lenses with a crystal glass lens that enhances light intake by more than 208%. These lenses match well with Samsung’s RGBW sensor providing it with ample light to create clearer images.

The back panel

The Camon 19 series features a clean-looking design with flat edges and flat rear panels. But what stands out the most in this aspect is the camera module. The Camon 19 series features a vertically aligned dual-camera island design. The top cutout houses the primary cameras while the bottom module features the auxiliary cameras. This design is quite similar to camera modules featured on Huawei and Honor smartphones.

All of the Camon 19 series except for the Camon 19 Neo have their auxiliary cameras placed horizontally. This makes the lower module appear like the eyes of a panda if you go for a color option with a white module.

Other than the camera module, the smartphone offers color options usually seen on OPPO devices. The gradient blue called Polar Blue and glossy black called Eco Black are both quite refined and give the device a premium look.

The Front Panel

There is no denying that the Camon 19 Pro 5G is a pretty-looking device with its tapered edges, flat back, clean-looking camera module, and premium colors. However, the front panel is also a standout feature of the smartphone as it is surrounded by razor-thin bezels that measure just 0.98 mm. These thin bezels surround the 6.8-inch FHD+ screen on three sides, while the chin of the smartphone is a bit more prominent.

Bezels this thin are usually seen on the most expensive flagship devices that come with an OLED panel, however, Tecno provides it on the Camon 19 Pro 5G which has an LCD screen with a 120Hz refresh rate.

Transsion Holdings subsidiary Tecno Mobile last week revealed it would hold a global launch event at the Rockefeller Centre in New York where it would unveil the Camon 19 series for the global market. As scheduled, the Tecno Camon 19 series has been announced for the global market. The series is made up of the Camon 19 Pro 5G, Camon 19 Pro, Camon 19 Neo, and the vanilla Camon 19. 

Tecno Camon 19 Pro/ Camon 19 Pro 5G

The Camon 19 Pro 5G emerges as the star of the pack as it features a 64MP RGBW sensor. This makes the device the first phone to pack the sensor manufactured by Samsung. In addition, the device is said to pack the “industry’s slimmest bezel” with a size of just 0.98 mm.

The Camon 19 Pro 5G packs a 6.8-inch LCD screen with an FHD+ resolution of 2460 x 1080 pixels and supports a 120Hz refresh rate. The 5G model is powered by a MediaTek Dimensity 810 chipset integrated with a Mali-G57 MC2 GPU. The chipset pairs with 8GB of LPDDR4x RAM. The device is available in 128GB and 256GB UFS 2.2 storage options.

The rear panel has a diamond coating that depicts 200 million stars in a bright starry sky. The panel has an anti-fingerprint coating and is delicate to touch. For photography, the rear panel houses a 64MP camera with RGBW + (G + P) Lens co-developed with Samsung. The G + P technology replaces plastic lenses with a crystal glass lens that enhances light intake by more than 208%. The other sensors include a 2MP depth sensor and a 2MP AI camera. For selfies, there is a 16MP front camera.

On its part, the non-5G Camon 19 Pro packs an Helio G96 chipset with the same memory configuration as the 5G version. The 4G model equally packs a 64MP main camera at the rear with OIS but not the RGBW lens. The main camera teams up with a 50MP portrait camera with 2x optical zoom and a 2MP portrait lens.

The two models run on Android 12 OS with XOS. They both pack a 5000mAh battery with 33W fast charging. The models come with a side-mounted fingerprint sensor a piece.

Tecno Camon 19

The vanilla Camon 19 packs a 6.8-inch LCD screen with a Full HD+ resolution of 2460 x 1080 pixels. The device is powered by an Octa-Core MediaTek Helio G85 processor with a Mali-G52 2EEMC2 GPU powering the graphics. The processor is paired with 4GB / 6GB RAM options each bundled with 128GB storage. The storage is expandable via microSD.

The Camon 19 also comes with a triple rear camera setup comprising a 64MP main shooter teaming up with a 2MP depth sensor and a 2MP AI camera. The camera comes with a Quad-LED flash. At the front, there is a 16MP camera for selfies.

The Camon 19 packs a 5,000mAh battery just like the Pro models but you only get support for 18W fast charging on the vanilla model. It equally runs on Android 12 with an overlay of Tecno’s XOS. There is a side-mounted fingerprint sensor on board as well as NFC support.

Pricing & Availability

The Tecno Camon 19 Pro 5G starts at $320 for the 8GB+256GB option. The model will be available in Eco Black and Cedar Green colour options. The 4G Camon 19 Pro comes down to $280 for the 8GB+256GB option and is available in Polar Blue, Eco Black, and Mondrian colours.

Yesterday, Google officially announced the Android 13 Beta program at the opening day keynote of the Google I/O 2022 conference. Just like the past few years, the search giant has partnered with multiple OEMs to enable developers to try out the upcoming version of Android.

Just like last year with the Android 12 Beta initiative, a total of 12 OEMs are part of the Android 13 Beta program. The only difference is that TCL has been replaced with Lenovo this time around.

Though most companies offer Android 13 Beta for a single device, there are some who provide builds for multiple products. Hence, the total number of eligible devices is actually 22, which happens to be 10 more than the OEMs involved.

Unsurprisingly, Google is the one with the most number of products, 8 Pixels smartphones to be precise. It is followed by Xiaomi with 3 devices comprising two smartphones and a tablet. Oppo is also offering builds for a smartphone and a foldable. Whereas, the remaining brands are limited to a single product.

With that out of the way, let’s take a look at all the smartphones and tablets on which you can try Android 13.
