The sub-$600 phone has a 6.78-inch 144Hz AMOLED display, 6,500mAh battery, Dimensity 7400 Ultimate chip, and 50MP main, telephoto and selfie cameras.
The review says image quality is strong for a mid-range device, especially from the main and telephoto lenses, but criticises the weak 8MP ultra-wide, missing RAW capture and limited pro controls.
It concludes the handset suits buyers who want heavy AI assistance, cloud-based generative tools and many shooting modes, while photography purists may prefer rivals from Oppo, Vivo, Xiaomi or Nothing.
Can Tecno’s AI-powered Camon 50 Ultra truly rival Google and Samsung’s camera phones, or is cloud-based AI more hype than help?
With no RAW capture or manual controls, will creative users embrace Tecno’s AI-first approach or seek alternatives with more flexibility?
How might the Camon 50 Ultra’s reliance on cloud-based AI features affect users in areas with poor connectivity or data privacy concerns?
