Exciting news from Tecno as they announce the upcoming release of the Camon 30 Premier 5G, set to hit the market in the second quarter of this year (April-June). The announcement has generated considerable buzz, thanks to the introduction of several cutting-edge features, including the revolutionary Tecno PolarAce Imaging System.
At the heart of the Camon 30 Premier lies the innovative Tecno PolarAce Imaging System, anchored by the Sony CXD5622GG chip. While not a sensor itself, this chip serves as a powerful ISP (Image Signal Processor), boasting an impressive 4.6 TFLOPS at FP16 (16-bit floating point). This remarkable computing power enables a range of advanced functionalities, including full-scene AI noise reduction for HDR videos – a first in the industry, according to Tecno. Additionally, the dedicated ISP is renowned for its exceptional power efficiency, particularly during the processing of 4K 30fps videos.
Harnessing the power of Tecno’s Universal Tone AI-based solution, the PolarAce Imaging System delivers unparalleled accuracy in rendering skin tones. The AIGC Portrait mode further enhances portrait shots, offering users the ability to customize their images with various attire options, from formal wear to wedding dresses. Meanwhile, the AI One Click Eraser simplifies the process of removing unwanted objects from scenes with a single click, streamlining the editing workflow for users.
In terms of imaging capabilities, the Camon 30 Premier boasts an impressive array of sensors, including the 50MP Sony IMX890 primary sensor with OIS (Optical Image Stabilization). Complementing this is a 70mm periscope lens, equipped with a 50MP sensor, enabling advanced zoom capabilities of up to 60x hybrid zoom, as well as stunning portrait and macro shots. Additionally, the device features a 50MP ultra-wide sensor, rounding out its versatile imaging capabilities.
Visually, the Camon 30 Premier draws inspiration from rangefinder cameras, with a distinctive circular camera island designed to resemble a zoom ring. The device sports a 6.77″ OLED display with a resolution of 1,264 x 2,780px and a peak brightness of 1,400 nits. Notably, this display utilizes LTPO technology, marking Tecno’s first foray into this technology for non-foldable devices. The front-facing camera is equally impressive, boasting a 50MP sensor and an autofocus lens.
Design-wise, the Camon 30 Premier features a metal mid-frame for enhanced rigidity and a premium aesthetic. One standout design element is the “Action Dot” – a breathing light located on the back of the device. Serving multiple functions, including video recording indication, charging status indicator, and voice assistant activation indicator, the Action Dot adds a touch of flair to the device’s design.
Under the hood, the Camon 30 Premier packs a powerful punch, with a 5,000mAh battery and 70W fast charging support via USB-C. Connectivity options abound, including Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, an IR blaster, and an FM radio receiver. Additionally, the device features stereo speakers with Dolby Atmos support, although a 3.5mm headphone jack is notably absent.
Powering the Camon 30 Premier is the Dimensity 8200 Ultra chipset, paired with up to 12GB of RAM (with an additional 12GB of virtual RAM) and up to 512GB of storage. Running on Android 14 out of the box, the device promises a seamless and intuitive user experience.
Excitement is building as the launch of the Tecno Camon 30 series approaches in the second quarter of this year. Stay tuned for more updates as Tecno continues to push the boundaries of innovation in the smartphone industry.
