TECNO Camon 20 Series: 'Video Master' specifications, price, availability in Kenya

On Wednesday evening, TECNO, an innovative technology brand operating in over 70 global markets, officially launched its new CAMON 20 Series in a colourful event.

The launch event, held at the Trademark Hotel in Nairobi, was adorned with grandeur and vibrancy, featuring an electrifying performance by the CAMON 20 series Brand Ambassador and world-renowned musician, Nyashinski.

The series introduces an exceptional portrait video and night portrait photography experience, along with the industry's first CAMON PUZZLE deconstructionist design, catering to forward-looking users.

During the launch of the CAMON 20 series, TECNO Brand Manager, Peter Shi, stated that they aimed to surpass expectations and redefine the smartphone experience in a highly connected world.

He described the CAMON 20 as more than just a phone, emphasizing its role as a gateway to new possibilities and a companion that seamlessly integrates into users' lives.

"In a world driven by connectivity, where communication and information are paramount, we have strived to create a device that surpasses expectations and redefines the smartphone experience," Shi said.

"The CAMON 20 is not just a phone; it is a gateway to a new era of possibilities, a companion that seamlessly integrates into every aspect of your life."

The TECNO CAMON 20 Premier 5G boasts the groundbreaking 5000 Times/s Sensor-Shift OIS Anti-shaking Technology and a 50MP RGBW Ultra-Sensitive sensor, enabling SLR camera level anti-shake video and crystal-clear night portrait quality.

Additionally, its 108MP Ultra Definition camera captures breathtaking wide-angle shots for both photography and video shooting.

Inspired by the deconstructionist genre of postmodern architecture, the CAMON 20 series merges the magic skin with ceramic materials, resulting in the distinctive CAMON PUZZLE design.

TECNO CAMON 20 Series to Roll Out Android 14 Beta

TECNO also announced its participation as one of the first smartphone manufacturers to offer Google's Android 14 Beta release.

The CAMON 20 series will run on Android 14, providing various upgrades and enhancements to elevate the user experience, including improved privacy, security, performance, and user customization.

The Android 14 Beta for the TECNO CAMON 20 series brings several advantages, such as higher privacy levels, longer battery life, and larger fonts with smarter scaling to enhance accessibility for low-vision users.

5000 Times/s Sensor-Shift OIS Anti-shaking Technology for Portrait Video

The CAMON 20 Premier 5G introduces the revolutionary 5000 Times/s Sensor-Shift OIS Anti-shaking Technology for portrait video, incorporating SLR camera in-body image stabilization.

This technology compensates for shakes up to 5,000 times per second, resulting in crisp and vivid images and videos, even when capturing moving subjects.

With an emphasis on preserving image quality, up to 93 per cent of footage can still be achieved even in low-light conditions.

50MP RGBW Ultra-Sensitive Sensor for Night Portrait

TECNO's RGBW technology enhances night portraits by capturing more light, thanks to a "white" array replacing the traditional "green" array in the colour filter.

The 1G+6P lens system increases light intake by replacing a plastic lens with a glass one, improving the light reaching the main sensor.

The TECNO CAMON 20 Premier 5G features a larger main sensor with a 56.25 per cent larger light-sensitive area, resulting in images that closely resemble real-life scenes.

This allows users to capture clear and detailed night portraits with no loss of information in low-light conditions.

Groundbreaking Innovation with CAMON PUZZLE Deconstructionist Design

The CAMON 20 series introduces the CAMON PUZZLE deconstructionist design, inspired by postmodern architecture.

TECNO incorporates luxury lychee pattern Magic Skin engraved with 20 irregular ribs and integrates sapphire-grade nanocrystalline ceramic into the device's back cover construction.

This fusion of advanced materials and bold design challenges traditional smartphone aesthetics, offering users a unique and stylish statement.

The design received the prestigious MUSE Design Award 2023 as a gold winner, reaffirming TECNO's position as a pioneer in smartphone design.

Other remarkable features of the CAMON 20 series include a 108MP Ultra Definition Camera for ultra-wide horizon views and a 32MP AI Selfie Camera for ultra-clear shining selfies.

The series also boasts a 6.67" AMOLED True-color Screen with immersive all-slim bezels, TüV Rheinland Eye Protection Certification Display with a 120Hz adaptive refresh rate, and the MediaTek Dimensity 8050 Chip as a fully upgraded computational portrait photography engine.

The CAMON 20 series is available in Dark Welkin and Serenity Blue for the CAMON 20 Premier 5G, CAMON 20 Pro 5G, and CAMON 20 Pro, while the CAMON 20 comes in Glacier Glow Glass.

These devices can be purchased at all TECNO stores countrywide and Safaricom shops.
