Editorial report

Tecno Camon 40 12 GB / 256 GB / International technical sheet

The Tecno Camon 40 suits anyone looking for a slim, light phone with a large display and a camera that ranks better than most phones of its time. Its main trade-off is the rear main camera’s f/1.9 aperture, which is worse than most. The 6.78-inch AMOLED display runs at 120 Hz and covers 89.8% of the front, a larger share than on most phones launched around the same time. The body is 7.3 mm thick and weighs 177.2 g; both figures are among the best of its time.

The camera is better than that of most phones from the period. The rear main camera has 50 MP and optical image stabilization, while its f/1.9 aperture is a comparative weakness. There is also an 8 MP ultrawide camera and a 32 MP front camera. IP66 protection covers dust and water resistance. Android 15 comes with a 5200 mAh battery and 45 W charging; both battery figures are typical for phones of its time. This configuration has 8 GB of RAM and 256 GB of storage, and the Camon 40 is also sold with 12 GB of RAM and 256 GB. Its overall NeoScore is 6.5, typical among phones of its time. It is a suitable choice for people who prioritize the display and camera and can accept a less favorable main-camera aperture.
