TECNO CAMON 40 is now official in PH

The new phone is positioned as the company's budget-friendly option with a capable primary camera for mobile photography.

The device shares several similarities with the Pro model, though it features a slightly more subdued design and specifications. Instead of the higher IP69 rating, it comes with an IP66-rated body for reliable water-splash resistance while retaining the SGS 5-Star Certification and 360-degree Drop Resistance for protection against everyday impacts.

Available in Emerald Glow Green, Galaxy Black, Glacier White, and Emerald Lake Green, the phone measures 164.16 x 74.64 x 7.34 mm.

Internally, the device is equipped with a 2.2GHz 6nm Helio G100 Ultimate octa-core processor and a Mali-G57 MC2 GPU.

The rear camera setup mirrors the Pro model, featuring a 50MP 1/1.56-inch OIS main sensor, an 8MP ultra-wide lens, dual flash, a One-Tap Button, and AI FlashSnap for quick, high-quality captures. For selfies, it uses a 32MP front camera instead of a 50MP sensor.
