Tecno Camon 30S Review: A Budget Camera Star or Just Another Mid-Range Face?
In the competitive mid-range market, it’s no longer enough to just pack a big screen and flashy design. Today’s users demand a standout camera, reliable performance, and smart features — even on a budget. That’s where Tecno’s Camon series has been carving out its niche.
This year’s Tecno Camon 30S promises to continue that tradition, with camera-focused features, modern design, and surprisingly smart software — all at a wallet-friendly price. But is it just style without substance, or does it deliver where it matters?
Let’s break down the real-world performance of the Camon 30S across design, camera, display, performance, battery, and software.
1. Design & Build: Premium looks under
At first glance, the Camon 30S gives off a premium vibe — far better than what you expect at this price.
- Matte glass finish on the back – resists fingerprints and feels premium
- Camera module with “Pro-style” layout – gives it a flagship feel
- Flat-edge design – modern, with a metal-like frame
- Side-mounted fingerprint – fast and consistent
- Weight: ~190g, easy to carry and hold
In hand feel: Solid and grippy, doesn’t feel cheap.
2. Display: Bright, Big, and Smooth
The Camon 30S brings a surprisingly good display for its class:
- 6.6-inch FHD+ AMOLED Panel
- Refresh Rate: 120Hz
- Touch Sampling: 240Hz
- Peak Brightness: ~1000 nits (auto boost)
Viewing experience: Vibrant colors, decent outdoor visibility, and smooth scrolling.
For Netflix and YouTube, the AMOLED panel gives good contrast, although there’s no HDR certification.
3. Performance: Smooth enough, but not for heavy hitters
Powered by the MediaTek Helio G99 Ultimate, the Camon 30S is optimized for balanced everyday performance.
- 6nm Chipset
- 8GB RAM + up to 8GB Virtual RAM
- 128GB/256GB UFS 2.2 Storage
Daily Usage:
- Apps like WhatsApp, Instagram, YouTube run very smoothly
- App switching is fluid
- Light video editing (InShot, CapCut) works fine
- Casual games like Subway Surfers, Free Fire run well
Limitations:
- Not ideal for Genshin Impact or BGMI on high graphics
- No 5G support (4G only)
4. Camera: Main Selling Point — With Real Impact
The Camon 30S focuses heavily on camera and imaging, and it shows.
Rear Camera Setup:
- 50MP Main Sensor (f/1.6) – PDAF
- AI Lens + Depth Sensor
Front Camera:
- 32MP Selfie Camera with dual LED flash
Photo Quality:
- Daylight Shots:
- Crisp details and bright exposure
- Skin tones are accurate
- Colors are vibrant but not oversaturated
- Low Light:
- Super Night Mode is impressive at this range
- Dual flash helps selfies even in dark rooms
- Some grain, but low light portraits are usable
- Video:
- Up to 2K recording, stable footage with EIS
- Selfie video quality is surprisingly good for reels and vlogging
Bonus: Portrait mode and sky filters in the camera app are fun and creative.
5. Gaming & GPU: Light-to-Mid Gaming Only
While not designed for hardcore gaming, the Camon 30S handles casual games with ease.
- Free Fire Max: High graphics, smooth 60fps
- COD Mobile: Medium graphics recommended for stable gameplay
- Thermal performance: Barely heats up during long play
Game Space: Offers performance boost mode, DND, and screen recording.
6. Battery Life: Long-lasting with Fast Charging
- Battery Size: 5000mAh
- Charging Speed: 33W fast charger included in box
- Full Charge Time: ~70 minutes
Usage Results:
- Screen-on Time: 7-8 hours average
- Moderate use (social + YouTube + camera): 1.5 days
- Gaming drain: ~15% per hour (COD Mobile)
No heating issues while charging — great thermal management.
7. Software: Clean UI with Smart Features
Running HiOS based on Android 14, the Camon 30S offers more than just stock Android:
- Zero ads or bloatware (finally!)
- Dynamic Port – A punch-hole animation feature (like Apple’s Dynamic Island)
- Ella AI Assistant
- Game Mode, Voice Changer, App Freezer
Updates: 2 years of major updates promised by Tecno.
8. Audio, Connectivity & Extras
- Stereo Speakers: Loud and clear, with bass balance
- 3.5mm Headphone Jack: Yes, for wired audio fans
- Connectivity: 4G LTE, Dual VoLTE, Wi-Fi 5, Bluetooth 5.1
- Face Unlock + Side Fingerprint: Both fast and reliable
- No NFC, No 5G
9. Who Should Buy
Buy if you:
✔️ Want a stylish phone under ₹15K
✔️ Take a lot of selfies or portrait shots
✔️ Prefer AMOLED display + 120Hz
✔️ Like a clean, ad-free software experience
Avoid if you:
❌ Need 5G future-proofing
❌ Play heavy games regularly
❌ Want ultra-fast charging (67W+)
Final Verdict:
The Tecno Camon 30S is not just another budget phone — it’s a thoughtfully made device that offers:
- Flagship-style camera for casual users
- AMOLED smooth display
- Reliable battery life
- Minimalistic software with smart features
