Tecno has started to roll the latest Camon-series smartphones out today (April 2, 2024). The Camon 30, 30 5G and 30 Pro 5G are all 50MP selfie camera smartphones with 5,000mAh batteries with 70W Ultra Charging, although only the 30 Pro 5G has a 50MP OIS Steady Night Portrait rear camera. The Camon 30 also benefits from an OLED display with a premium 144Hz refresh rate.

The Tecno Camon 30 series has now been revealed to have ditched the highly distinctive, angular rear panels of its predecessors; then again, the newer smartphones have all been presented with "industry-first" marble-effect Tech-Art Leather finishes in a range of colors (Alps Snowy Silver; Emerald Lake Green; Iceland Basaltic Dark; Sahara Sand Brown and Uyuni Salt White).

The Camon 30 is powered by the Helio G99, whereas its 5G counterpart steps up to the Dimensity 7020 SoC and the 30 Pro is a MediaTek Dimensity 8200 Ultimate-powered device. However, the latter is the only variant with a 50MP OIS Steady Night Portrait main rear camera based on the ex-flagship Sony IMX890 sensor.

The 30 Series is also rated to support other features such as Tmojis and AIGC Portrait. The 30 5G and 30 Pro 5G also benefits from a 6.78-inch 144Hz AMOLED display. They, along with the vanilla 30, are slated to become available "across many of Tecno’s 70+ global markets" over time, with the launch of the top-end 30 Premier to follow later in April 2024.
