Tecno Camon 18P

Let’s start with the Tecno Camon 18P. It has a 6.8” 120Hz display with 1,080 x 2,460 px resolution (20.5:9), though it is an LCD instead of an AMOLED. The display promises to deliver 550 nits of brightness. There is a 16MP punch hole camera on the front (instead of 32MP), there’s also an LED flash for the selfie camera, the fingerprint reader is on the side of the device.

The main camera features a 48MP sensor with electronic image stabilization (compared to 64MP on the Premiere). There is no gimbal module here, in fact, there is no ultra wide camera at all, which is a bit odd. The P model does have a 13MP portrait camera with a 50mm lens (2x magnification), along with a 2MP depth senor.

The Camon 18P is powered by the same Helio G96 chipset as the Premiere. This 12nm chip has two Cortex-A76 CPU cores, a Mali-G76 MC4 GPU and a Cat. 13 4G modem. Crucially, it supports 120Hz operation on 1080p displays, which the G95 deoesn't. On this phone it is paired with 8GB of RAM and 128GB storage and runs HiOS 8 (based on Android 11).

The P model actually has a leg up on the Premiere in the battery department. It has a slightly larger 5,000 mAh battery (vs. 4,750 mAh) that supports the same 33W fast charging. The phone comes with a power adapter and cable in the retail package.

We mentioned 4G, the 18P also supports NFC and has a built-in FM radio receiver. The phone will be available in Iris Purple, Dusk Gray and Ceramic White.
