Tecno’s Camon series have proven beyond doubt to be the brands most sought after devices over the past four years. The series are so eminent, that they can make you forget about the Phantoms – Tecno’s flagships products.
If you have held a Camon before, you should be the best witness to the phone’s camera prowess. Now if you combine that virtue to the point that these phones come at a mid-range budget with superb specifications, then a purchase is worth it.
The Camons became most prominet at the start of 2018, when the Tecno Camon CM was born; bringing “specifications we had not seen before.”
Fast forward came the Camon X, the official successor to the 2017 Camon CX bringing with it a 6-inch Full HD display and the modern 18:9 aspect ratio. But there was more to the X – a Pro version.
A 6-inch Full HD+ screen with 2.5D glass display, Android 8.1 Oreo powering the device, an impressive 64GB internal memory, amazing 24MP selfie camera sensors, and a massive battery onboard – you could not miss out on this.
The device was made to reinvent the iPhone X in the eyes of someone that could not afford to spend over $900 on a smartphone, but wants a feel of one. Indeed, the device came with the then popular Face ID over the strong selfie cam.

Camon X Pro Vs Camon 11 Pro
With an eight months difference between their time of release, the Camon 11 Pro features amazing specifications that guarantee it the rightful successor to the Camon throne.
Unlike the X Pro which came with 4GB of RAM, the 11 Pro features 6 GB with both phones running on 2.0GHz octacore processor speed. The 11 Pro introduces an aspect of AI, something that the X Pro could have forgotten at the time of launch.
Yet again, despite having a good 16 MP rear camera, the X Pro does not beat 11 Pro’s double camera at the back featuring an additional 5 MP camera with a quad flash.
Plus, the X only spots a 6.0 inch display with the amazing 18:9 aspect ratio, but the 11 beats that with an improved 19:9 aspect ratio on a 6.2 inch screen.
The only thing that the X Pro has better is the screen resolution, boasting of a 1080 pixels resolution compared to 720 on the 11 Pro.
