Tecno Camon 50 Pro, Camon 50 Launched with Helio G200, 6150mAh Battery, 144Hz AMOLED

Tecno has officially unveiled the Tecno Camon 50 Pro and Tecno Camon 50, and honestly, this might be one of the boldest mid-range launches of 2026 so far.

Announced ahead of their expected showcase at Mobile World Congress 2026, both smartphones are already up for pre-order in Kenya. And on paper? They look seriously competitive.

Let’s break it down.

Tecno Camon 50 Pro Price and Availability

The Tecno Camon 50 Pro is priced at KES 44,000 (around Rs 31,000 / $341) in Kenya.
The standard Camon 50 starts at KES 37,500 (around Rs 26,000 / $290).

Pre-orders are live, and sales begin from February 23. Prices listed on Tecno’s official Kenyan site are slightly lower (exclusive of VAT), which suggests early-bird pricing strategies.

If Tecno brings these to India at aggressive pricing, this could shake up the mid-range market.

Tecno Camon 50 Pro Display and Design

The Tecno Camon 50 Pro features a 6.78-inch curved AMOLED display with:

• 1.5K resolution (1208 x 2644 pixels)

• 144Hz refresh rate

• HDR image support

• Under-display optical fingerprint scanner

The standard Camon 50 uses a flat AMOLED panel but keeps the same size and refresh rate.

At 144Hz in this price bracket? That’s impressive. Tecno clearly wants gamers and heavy users to pay attention.

Both phones are available in stylish shades like Moonlight Black, Malachite Green, Nebula Titanium, Fir Green, Lavender Mist, and the Pro gets an exclusive Ethereal Blue option.

Tecno Camon 50 Pro Performance

Both devices are powered by the MediaTek Helio G200 Ultimate (6nm) chipset.

You get:

• 8GB RAM

• 256GB storage

• Virtual RAM expansion up to 16GB

• Mali-G57 MC2 GPU

They run Android 16 with HiOS 16, and Tecno promises 3 major Android updates and 5 years of security patches.

For a 4G phone in 2026, this software support is genuinely commendable.

Tecno Camon 50 Pro Camera

Here’s where the Tecno Camon 50 Pro pulls ahead.

Tecno Camon 50 Pro Camera Setup:

• 50MP Sony LYT700C primary sensor (1/1.56", OIS)

• 50MP telephoto lens with 3x optical zoom (OIS)

• 8MP ultra-wide camera

• 32MP front camera

The standard Camon 50 Camera Setup:

• 50MP main (OIS)

• 8MP ultra-wide

• 32MP selfie (No telephoto lens)

In my opinion, that dedicated 3x optical zoom on the Pro is the real game-changer. Most mid-range phones skip proper zoom cameras, Tecno didn’t.

Tecno Camon 50 Pro Battery and Durability

Both phones pack a massive 6,150mAh battery with 45W fast charging.

Tecno claims long-term battery durability of up to five years. That’s a big statement, and if true, it solves one of the biggest smartphone pain points.

You also get:

• IP68, IP69, and IP69K dust and water resistance

• Stereo speakers with Dolby Atmos

• NFC, GPS, IR blaster

• FM Radio

• USB Type-C

• Dual Nano SIM

This is not basic mid-range stuff. This is flagship-level durability in a budget shell.

Is Tecno Camon 50 Pro Worth It?

Here’s my honest opinion.

If you care about Long battery life, smooth display, real optical zoom, durable build and long software support,

The Tecno Camon 50 Pro is easily one of the most well-rounded mid-range phones of early 2026.

The only real limitation? It’s 4G. No 5G yet.

But let’s be practical, in many markets, 4G is still strong and reliable. If Tecno keeps pricing aggressive, this could trend hard on Google News and retail platforms alike.

The Camon 50 is a solid choice, but the Pro is where the real value lies.

And if this is just the warm-up before MWC 2026, Tecno clearly isn’t playing safe this year.
