Brief specifications
- Both smartphones are already available in Kenya, although the official launch at MWC 2026 is scheduled for early March.

- The main difference of the Pro version is a curved display and the presence of a telephoto lens with three‑fold optical zoom.

- Both devices use the same powerful MediaTek Helio G200 Ultimate, 8 GB RAM and 256 GB internal storage.

- Cameras are based on a 50‑megapixel Sony LYT700C sensor with optical stabilization; Pro gets an additional 50‑MP telephoto camera.

- 45 W fast charging support and a 6150 mAh battery provide long endurance.

Tecno continues to position the Camon 50 series as an affordable yet feature‑rich smartphone for budget‑constrained markets, while offering more advanced capabilities in the Pro version.
