While some might wonder why the Camon 30 Pro is more expensive than its predecessor, we think that TECNO equipped its latest mid-range phones with better hardware and software to make them compelling devices for serious content creation. We’ve used the CAMON 30 Pro 5G for a week, and here are the things that make it a great device for content creation:
Best-in-class front and rear cameras. With an under Php 20k price point, the CAMON 30 Pro 5G has arguably the best set of cameras: an IMX890 sensor for the main camera with OIS, a 50-megapixel ultra-wide camera with anti-distortion, and a 50-megapixel selfie camera with eye-tracking autofocus.
You’d be hard-pressed to find any mid-range phone with that many 50-megapixel cameras, which shows that the CAMON 30 Pro 5G is serious when it comes to content creation.
Up to 4K 60FPS video recording. While 4K 30FPS video recording has been the norm for several mid-range phones, the CAMON 30 Pro 5G ups the ante by allowing you to shoot at 60FPS even in 4K resolution. This gives you more fluid footage at a higher resolution, making the CAMON 30 Pro 5G great for capturing fast-paced action like sports.
OIS and EIS for video recording. While OIS is good enough to keep your footage stable, the CAMON 30 Pro 5G also has EIS that you can use together with the OIS for clean and stable footage to level up your content creation. It’s a handy feature to have especially when you plan to shoot at 4K60, where micro-jitters can disrupt the overall quality of your footage.
Aside from having both OIS and EIS, TECNO also partnered with DJI and Capcut to give users a complete set of tools for creating videos all using the CAMON 30 Pro 5G.Â
Powerful processor. All of this impressive camera hardware needs a great processor, and the CAMON 30 Pro’s use of a Dimensity 8200 makes for a solid combo. The Dimensity 8200 is a popular mid-range chip for 2024, and it has all the processing power to handle extensive content creation features–especially those that involve the use of AI. Aside from a powerful processor, the CAMON 30 Pro 5G comes with 12GB RAM and 512GB storage, which is more than enough to meet the demands of content creators.
Equally powerful AI smarts. TECNO is aware of the power of AI, and the CAMON 30 Pro 5G makes good use of its hardware with AI features. Aside from having an AI Eraser feature, what makes the CAMON 30 Pro 5G’s software unique is AIGC Portrait, which is a unique way of creating avatars with the power of AI. You also can enjoy other AI-powered features like video background changing, video beauty, and fill lighting–arming you with more tools so that you can push your creativity further.
With all these features you can enjoy out of the box, TECNO means serious business with the CAMON 30 Pro 5G in its push to make its mid-range offering a solid option for content creation. Beyond the looks, the Camon 30 Pro 5G also has the hardware and software to let you create great content on the go.
The CAMON 30 Pro 5G is priced at Php 19,999.
