TECNO came out swinging when they launched the CAMON 20 Premier 5G. The phone has a beautiful design and the sleek appearance demands people stop and stare. The TECNO CAMON 20 Premier 5G is part of a series that won a prestigious design award. But it’s not just a pretty phone. It has remarkable features that elevate the user experience.
The build of the phone
The TECNO CAMON 20 Premier 5G comes with a matte design. It is also made with TECNO’s groundbreaking Magic Skin technology with a Puzzle Deconstructionist design. Magic Skin is the same material used in the upholstery of high-end vehicles and luxury yachts. It also provides a better grip, is easier to clean, and is abrasion-resistant. The phone doesn’t leave stains, so no fingerprints are left when users touch it with greasy fingers. It can also withstand very high temperatures and low temperatures. Magic Skin helps the phone remain cool and reduces the risk of overheating in the sun.
The left side of the TECMO CAMON 20 Premier 5G has volume controls and a power button. The right side has a slim slot for a dual nano SIM. The bottom of the phone has a type-C jack, stereo speaker, and microphone. Like most modern phones, it doesn’t have an audio jack.
The TECNO CAMON 20 Premier 5G has a 6.67 AMOLED screen, which can play videos of up to 1080 x 2400 pixels. It has a great screen-to-body ratio. You don’t lose much display space to the phone’s cover. As a result, the phone is great for playing games, watching movies, and having a great multimedia experience. It has a fingerprint sensor at the bottom of the screen but also comes with Face match ID.
The phone comes in dark welkin and serenity blue colours, both of which are stunning.
