The verdict, up front

The selfie-and-portrait value pick.

Camon 40 Pro plays to Tecno's strength — a camera-forward phone for emerging markets — with a Sony OIS main and a 50 MP autofocus selfie that flatter people shots. The ultrawide and HiOS bloat are the give-back. For portrait-first buyers under $300 it lands its punch.
