It is not posted on the DxOMark website yet, but TECNO shared that the CAMON 50 Ultra scored 146 overall points with a high Portrait score of 142. 

According to the company, it has the best Portrait performance under USD 600 (under PHP 35K), delivering natural, well-rendered skin tones, fast and accurate autofocus, and effective low-light photo performance.

In comparison, the 146 points that TECNO achieved are higher than the iPhone 15 with 145 points, and just a point below the very capable Xiaomi 15.

Last year, the CAMON 40 Pro scored 138 points.

If these scores perform as well in real life, this brings us closer to a flagship-camera experience on a mid-range smartphone.

To recap, the TECNO CAMON 50 Ultra houses a versatile quad-camera setup: a 50MP f/1.8 main shooter with a large 1/1.56-inch Sony LYTIA 700C Ultra sensor, a 50MP f/2.4 telephoto lens offering 3x zoom with a 1/2.88-inch sensor, an 8MP f/2.2 ultra-wide camera with 5cm macro capability, and a dedicated flicker sensor paired with an LED flash.
