Yesterday, Google made Android 14 official. It even started pushing the update to all the eligible Pixels. Within a few hours from that, Tecno, a comparatively smaller brand than Samsung and others became the first OEM to roll out Android 14.

In the last few years, Android brands have become much faster in delivering the latest version of Android. Each year, a different brand becomes the first (apart from Google) to seed the fresh version of Android.

In 2022, it was Oppo who was the first to roll out Android 13 for its flagships Find X5 and Find X5 Pro. Whereas in 2023, Tecno leads the pack by pushing Android 14 first for its Camon 20 Premier 5G in India.

For the unaware, the Tecno Camon 20 Premier 5G is a mid-range smartphone. The device’s main highlights are its 108MP ultrawide camera with autofocus and 50MP RGBW main camera. It is the only phone on the market with such a high-megapixel ultrawide camera.

The handset was introduced at ₹29,999 (~$360) in India in July. It is still being sold at the same price.

As for the Android 14 update, it is being rolled out in phases. So it will take some time to reach all the units.

Tecno says that the update arrives with HiOS 13.6. The latest software for the product brings improvements to Game Assistant Panel, Clock and Weather widget, multi-tasking mode, and Gallery.

At present, we have no info on the update’s availability in other markets. Anyway, it should arrive sooner than later.

Camon 20 Premiere 5G

The Chinese company, TECNO, has undoubtedly caught the attention of smartphone enthusiasts worldwide with its remarkable line-up of devices. This year, TECNO has continuously impressed us by launching several innovative smartphones one after the other, setting new standards in the industry.

Recently, the company took the excitement to another level when it unveiled its highly anticipated flagship model, the TECNO CAMON 20 Premier 5G. This cutting-edge smartphone has been designed to renew the photography experience for users, boasting an array of groundbreaking imaging features that are bound to leave you in awe.

Design

TECNO takes pride in the design of the CAMON 20 Premier 5G, claiming it draws inspiration from the puzzle deconstructionist style found in postmodern architecture, which does look special.

This unique design has even earned the phone the prestigious Muse Design Award for the year 2023. The company’s attention to detail and innovation is evident in the design choices made for this device.

Measuring just 7.8mm thick, the CAMON 20 Premier 5G is also impressively slim, adding to its overall appeal. The placement of the volume button and power button on the right side ensures easy access and comfortable handling.

The in-screen fingerprint reader adds an extra layer of security while also maintaining the phone’s sleek aesthetics.

Screen & Display

In terms of display, the CAMON 20 Premier 5G shines with its 6.67-inch FHD plus AMOLED true-color screen. The high color Gamut ensures vibrant and lifelike visuals, while the 120Hz refresh rate delivers smooth operation and fluid animations.

The peak brightness of the display is impressive, allowing for enhanced visibility even in bright outdoor conditions.

TECNO also took eye protection into consideration, as evidenced by the TUV Rheinland certification for eye protection on the CAMON 20 Premier 5G. This certification ensures a safe and comfortable experience for prolonged use of the device. To further enhance the viewing experience, the phone features slim bezels that reduce distractions and provide a more immersive experience. Meanwhile, the flat-screen and sharp edges contribute to its sleek and modern design.

Performance

In addition to its impressive design, the Tecno Camon 20 Premier 5G boasts a powerful MediaTek Dimensity 8050 chipset, making it a solid option for mid-range smartphone users. The CAMON 20 Premier 5G is equipped with a generous 8GB of RAM and a spacious 512GB internal storage. What sets this phone apart is its integration of Android’s latest memory fusion feature, which enables it to increase its available memory by an additional 8GB of RAM.

While it may not be able to handle heavy games as smoothly as gaming phones, it still allows for enjoyable gameplay in popular games like PUBG and Call of Duty, albeit at reduced graphics settings. However, one downside we noticed during extended usage was that the phone tended to heat up quickly, impacting its overall performance to some extent. Despite this, it did not significantly affect our overall experience with the device.

Camera

The standout feature of the Tecno Camon 20 Premier 5G is undoubtedly its camera system. The phone features a main 50MP lens with Tecno’s innovative RGBW technology. By replacing the traditional RGGB color filter’s “green” array solution with a “white” one, the RGBW sensor captures more light, resulting in brighter and more detailed photos.

The phone enhances light intake by replacing one of the plastic lenses with a glass lens in the 1G+6P lens setup. This improvement increases the amount of light reaching the main sensor. Furthermore, Tecno has increased the size of the main sensor from 1/1.73 to 1/1.56 and the pixel size from 0.8μm to 1.0μm. Even in low-light conditions, the phone excels at capturing crystal-clear night portraits without sacrificing details.

In addition to its impressive 50MP main camera, the CAMON 20 Premier 5G is equipped with a remarkable 108MP Ultra Definition camera. This cutting-edge camera module allows users to capture ultra-wide landscapes and super macro close-ups with stunning detail.

One of the key features of this camera is the 9-in-1 Adaptive Pixel technology. This technology intelligently combines 9 small pixels into a single ultra-large 1.92um pixel. By doing so, it significantly improves the light sensitivity of the camera, making it capable of capturing photos with much greater clarity and detail.

The CAMON 20 Premier 5G also boasts a 32MP Ultra Clear AI Shining Selfie camera. This powerful front-facing camera is designed to elevate users’ selfie game to a whole new level. It incorporates TECNO’s advanced AI-powered “Portrait Master” beauty algorithm. This algorithm uses 319-dot face-positioning technology to accurately analyze various beauty aspects, including culture, skin tone, and physical environment. It then develops a personalized beautification plan, ensuring that every selfie taken with the CAMON 20 Premier 5G is flawless and stunning.

UI & Software

For software, the CAMON 20 Premier 5G runs on the latest HIOS, with a custom user interface based on the latest Android 13 operating system. The device comes preloaded with some installed applications, such as AHA Games, BoomPlay, Hi Browser, and Phone Master, TECNO has included its very own virtual assistant named Ella, which offers assistance and improved interaction with the device.

TECNO is committed to providing software support for the CAMON 20 Premier 5G. They promise one year of major software updates, ensuring that users will stay up-to-date with the latest features and improvements. In addition, TECNO guarantees two years of monthly security patches, which helps to keep the device secure from potential vulnerabilities. Furthermore, TECNO has announced its intention to upgrade the phone to the next Android version, Android 14, when it becomes available. That’s definitely a great promise for the Camon users.

Battery & Charge

The CAMON 20 Premiere 5G mentioned in the quote packs a large battery with a capacity of 5000 mAh, which is quite impressive for its price range. Another great news is its support for 45W fast charging, which allows the phone to be fully charged within 50 minutes. This is a remarkable feat, especially considering other phones in the same category may require a significantly longer charging time.

During my experience with the phone, I found that it could sustain heavy usage for about 5 to 6 hours of screen-on time (SOT). This means that even with continuous use of high-power-consumed applications and features, the phone could hold its own for a substantial time before needing a recharge. However, if you use the phone more conservatively, you can potentially squeeze out an impressive 8 hours of SOT or even longer.

Verdict

The Tecno Camon 20 Premier stands out as an impressive smartphone in an intensely competitive market. Despite the abundance of excellent devices, it manages to earn recognition with its well-rounded features and capabilities. From its attractive aesthetics to its solid build, from its stunning display to its immersive audio experience, and from its dependable battery life to its smooth performance, this phone offers a comprehensive and satisfying user experience.

One particular aspect that caught our attention is the camera setup, which is truly noteworthy. The reliability and versatility of the Camon 20 Premier’s camera are exceptional, delivering consistently great performance across different scenarios. Furthermore, the inclusion of a high-resolution 108MP autofocusing ultrawide lens adds a delightful touch to the phone’s photography capabilities. This lens not only excels at its primary function of capturing wide-angle shots but also surprises with its ability to capture stunning macro photos for those who appreciate the finer details.

The RGBW sensor can absorb more light for an enhanced photography experience in dim lighting conditions.

The company revealed these features at a conference in India today. At the same time. It hinted at the release timeline of these phones in the country.

Tecno’s Ultimage stands for ‘ultimate imaging experience.’ The brand uses sensor and AI processing to deliver ‘Ultimate Stabilization’, ‘Ultimate Portrait’, and ‘Ultimate Night Shot’ on the Camon 20 series.

TECNO, the renowned Chinese smartphone brand, is making waves in the industry once again by becoming one of the first manufacturers to offer Google‘s highly anticipated Android 14 Beta release. This fall, the company is looking to delight its users by running Android 14 Beta on its latest CAMON 20 series, ushering in a new era of upgrades and enhancements that will elevate the overall user experience.

The TECNO CAMON 20 has a Unique Back Design & Intuitive Features

The recently launched CAMON 20 series has already garnered widespread acclaim for its winning combination of outstanding photography capabilities, unique design elements, and an immersive user experience. With cutting-edge features such as the revolutionary 5000 times/second Sensor-Shift OIS Anti-Shaking Technology and a remarkable 50MP RGBW Ultra Sensitive Sensor, the CAMON 20 Premier 5G emerges as a strong contender in low-light photography and steady portrait videos. TECNO’s CAMON PUZZLE Deconstructionist Design sets itself apart from conventional minimalist aesthetics by seamlessly integrating three-dimensional ribbed Magic Skin and advanced ceramic materials into its innovative back cover.

Android 14 Beta is set to augment the user experience of the CAMON 20 series with a plethora of upgrades in privacy, security, performance, and user customization. Privacy-conscious users will be delighted to know that Android 14 raises the bar by implementing stricter security measures, ensuring that apps with a target SDK Version lower than 23 cannot be installed. This significant enhancement thwarts malware attempts and safeguards user security and privacy.

The latest Android iteration also introduces optimizations that significantly extend battery life. By intelligently managing background tasks, downloads, uploads, and various system processes, Android 14 enhances system efficiency, resulting in reduced power drain and longer-lasting battery performance.

Moreover, Android 14 addresses accessibility needs by offering larger fonts and smarter scaling options. With the ability to scale fonts for low-vision users, the new OS champions inclusivity, ensuring that everyone can comfortably navigate and interact with their devices. A non-linear scaling curve strategy intelligently adjusts the scaling rate for different text sizes, striking a balance that prevents overscaling of large elements while preserving the proportions between elements of varying sizes.

TECNO, a technology brand operating in over 70 countries and regions across five continents, has solidified its position as a leader in the target markets it serves. The brand consistently delivers state-of-the-art innovations through its diverse range of smartphones, smart wearables, laptops, tablets, HiOS operating systems, and smart home products.

Through its collaboration with Google and the introduction of Android 14 Beta on the CAMON 20 series, TECNO is demonstrating its unwavering commitment to providing users with an unparalleled smartphone experience. The future of mobile innovation looks incredibly promising with similar brands and Android 14 paving the way for new possibilities.

The post TECNO Unveils Android 14 Beta for CAMON 20 Series Smartphones appeared first on Gizmochina.

The month of May will be as busy as April if not more in terms of smartphone launches. Only 3 events are officially confirmed so far. But there are multiple other expected conferences, the dates for which should be revealed in the coming days.

We are looking forward to new product releases from a whopping 12 brands. Apple and Samsung are the only major companies that might not debut new phones. Though the latter may introduce certain already announced handsets in newer markets.

These forthcoming devices will be spread across different price segments. Most of the phones on the list are being launched ahead of the 618 shopping festival in China, which annually occurs during mid to late June.

That does not mean there won’t be any global releases. In fact, we will be witnessing the debut of some of the most anticipated smartphones of 2023.

With that out of the way, let’s go through all the handouts that are about to launch in May.

Upcoming Smartphones in May 2023

Poco F5 Series

The Poco F5 series will be unveiled on May 9 at 8 PM GMT+8. The lineup will include two devices, namely Poco F5 and Poco F5 Pro.

The standard and pro variants will be rebranded Redmi Note 12 Turbo and Redmi K60, respectively. They will be even sold in original Redmi colors instead of the usual Poco color schemes.

Just like the last Poco F Pro model (Poco F2 Pro), the Poco F5 Pro will not be sold in India. The vanilla F5 will come with 256GB as standard and is tipped to cost below ₹30,000 in India and $500 in other regions.

Realme 11 Series

The Realme 11 series is scheduled to launch in China on May 10 at 4 PM GMT+8. The lineup is said to consist of three handsets, such as Realme 11, Realme 11 Pro, and Realme 11 Pro Plus.

However, the brand has been only teasing the ‘Pro+’ variant. This version will not only have a leather back but also an OIS-assisted 200MP main camera and a curved display. It will be powered by the newly announced MediaTek Dimensity 7050 chipset.

These phones are also tipped to release in India this month. But we don’t have a date for it so far.

Google Pixel Fold and Pixel 7a

The 2023 edition of Google I/O will begin on May 10. The search giant is expected to take wraps off the Pixel Fold and Pixel 7a during the opening keynote of its developer conference, which will begin at 10 AM PT.

The Pixel Fold will be the company’s first foldable smartphone. The water-resistant foldable will feature a 7.6-inch horizontal foldable display and a 5.8-inch external screen. It is said to cost around $1,700.

On the other hand, the Pixel 7a will be the seventh-gen affordable Pixel A series handset. It will offer several upgrades over Pixel 6a, like a 90Hz display, Tensor G2 chip, and OIS-assisted 64MP primary camera, and more.

Sony Xperia 1 V

The Sony Xperia 1 V is set to launch on May 11 at 6 AM CEST. Unfortunately, not much is known about this upcoming flagship phone from the Japanese electronics giant.

Rumors say that it will arrive with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SoC, a 4K 120Hz OLED display, a 12MP (wide) + 12MP (periscope) + 48MP (ultra-wide) triple camera system, a shutter button, a 3.5mm headphone jack, and a 5,000mAh battery.

The device may or may not be accompanied by Xperia 5 V and Xperia 10 V.

Motorola Razr 2023 Series and Edge 40

Lenovo-owned Motorola is expected to unveil its new generation Razr clamshell foldables and an Edge series flagship smartphone either by the end of May or early June.

For the first time, the revived Razr lineup will have two models in a single generation. They are said to be called Razr 40 and Razr 40 Ultra. The latter will have the largest cover screen on a clamshell foldable handset to date.

Whereas, the Edge 40 will be a toned-down version of Edge 40 Pro with some interesting features. It will come with a leather back, water resistance, a MediaTek Dimensity 8020 chip, a 144Hz OLED display, a 50MP primary camera, a 4,400mAh battery, 68W wired charging, and 15W wireless charging.

Honor 90 Series

The Honor 90 series is tipped to launch in May, however, its release could be delayed until June. The successor of the Honor 80 series is rumored to bring upgrades in the camera and performance departments.

The higher-end model in the lineup is said to arrive with specs, such as a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Plus Gen 1 SoC, a 1.5K resolution curved display with high-frequency PWM, and a 200MP Samsung ISOCELL S5KH3 camera.

More or less, the top model will be almost the same as the Honor 80 Pro that was released in late November 2022.

iQOO Neo 8 Series

The iQOO Neo 8 series is anticipated to make its debut in China in May. There will be a standard and a pro variant. The iQOO Neo 8 Pro will be the first pro model in the Neo series.

As far as specs are concerned, the vanilla and Pro versions will be powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Plus Gen 1 and MediaTek Dimensity 9200 Plus chipsets, respectively. Both will sport a 120Hz OLED display with a fingerprint sensor underneath it.

The duo will arrive with a 50MP main camera but the sensors will be different; Sony IMX866V on pro and Sony IMX766V on regular. The pro version will also come with faster LPDDR5x RAM and UFS 4.0 storage.

Realme Narzo N53

The Realme Narzo N53 is tipped to launch in India in May. It will be a 4G-only handset like the recently released Realme Narzo N55.

We only have details on the device’s memory configurations, colors, and possible price range for now. It is said to start under ₹13,000 and will be available in two memory variants (4GB + 64GB and 6GB + 128GB) and two colors (Feather Black and Feather Gold).

These phones will arrive with a unique rear design. The vanilla, pro, and premier variants will be powered by MediaTek’s Helio G85, Helio G99, and Dimensity 1200 chipsets, respectively.

The premier model will come with a better set of features, like a 120Hz AMOLED display, a 108MP primary camera with sensor-shift OIS, and up to 512GB storage.

The post Tecno Camon 20 Premier 5G Alleged Image And Key Specifications Surface Online appeared first on Gizmochina.

A new Tecno phone with the moniker “Tecno Camon 20 Premier 5G” has appeared in the database of the Eurasian Economic Commission (EEC). This indicates that the device is in the works and may launch in the near future. The word “Premier” in its name suggests that it might be the most advanced smartphone in the Camon 20 lineup.

Last year, Tecno launched the Camon 19, Camon 19 Neo, Camon 19 Pro, and Camon 19 Pro 5G. As can be seen, there was no “Premier” branded model. But the EEC certification is a clear sign that there will be a “Premier” model in the Camon 20 series this year.

Unfortunately, the EEC listing does not say anything about the key specifications of the Camon 20 Premier 5G. However, it mentions is model number as CK9n. All that can be said about the device is that it is likely to offer top-notch front and rear cameras like its predecessors.

To recall, the Tecno Camon 18 Premier featured a 32-megapixel front camera and a 64-megapixel main camera on the back. Its rear camera setup also includes a 12-megapixel ultra-wide lens with gimbal OIS and an 8-megapixel periscope telephoto camera with 5x optical zoom. There is a chance that the Camon 20 Premier 5G will have a camera with the same features.

Like the Camon 18 and 19 series, the Camon 20 lineup may include multiple models. There is a possibility that the lineup may include models, such as the Camon 20, Camon 20 Neo, Camon 20 Pro 5G, and Camon 20 Premier 5G. Hopefully, newer reports will reveal more details about the Camon 20 series. As far as the launch is concerned, it may arrive in Q2 this year.
