The camera capabilities of the Tecno Camon 40 Pro 5G produce images that are not disappointing even in low light conditions. DxOMark said that the results of the images at night remain natural with sharp details.
However, for video stability, DxOMark provides several notes for Tecno’s future improvement materials. Because the video stability of the Tecno Camon 40 Pro 5G is inconsistent, the shooting is relatively slow in capturing moments, and the noise that appears in photos and videos in challenging conditions.***
