Tecno Mobile Zimbabwe launched its latest phone, the Camon 20 and Camon 20 Pro in Zimbabwe this week.
The phone was launched at an event in the country’s capital, Harare on 30 May, marking its availability in Zimbabwe. Also available alongside the standard Camon 20, is the Camon 20 Pro.
The phone can now be bought at official Tecno retailers throughout the country.
Camon 20 Price
The Camon 20’s price range at retailers in Zimbabwe will be from about $210 to $230.
The Tecno Camon is a mid-range phone, which means higher capacity than typical Tecno entry-level smartphones like Pop. The price is a reflection of that.
The Camon 20 Pro on the other hand is ranging between $235 and $260.

The only difference between the Camon 20 and Camon 20 Pro is the processor.

The 20 standard has a Mediatek Helio G85 while the Pro version has a Mediatek Helio G99 processor.
While at face value this difference may seem small, its impact is very significant. The G99 processor on the Camon 20 Pro is a much newer processor than the G85 and far outpaces the standard one on the general speed of the phone. It just processes things faster. It is also more efficient in power management so the battery lasts longer after every charge.
