Tecno Camon 12 vs Camon 12 Pro – What’s the Difference?
Both Tecno Camon 12 and 12 Pro are among the brand’s biggest smartphones released in 2019. While they share almost the same features, the latter boasts higher upgrades in some areas including the RAM size, camera quality, and other areas. This section takes a look at notable differences between the two smartphones.
Display
Camon 12: 6.52 inches, 102.6 cm2; 720 x 1, 600 pixels, 20:9 ratio (~269 ppi density)
Camon 12 Pro: 6.35 inches, 97.4 cm2; 720 x 1, 600 pixels, 20:9 ratio (~276 ppi density)
There is not so much difference between the displays of these two smartphones. At a close look, one will notice Camon 12 bigger screen of 6.52 inches and a resolution of 720 x 1, 600 pixels. While the Camon 12 Pro boasts similar screen resolution, it has a greater PPI of 276 PPI, though it has a smaller screen size of 6.35 inches.
Design
Camon 12: 166 x 35.8 x 8.2 mm (6.54 x 2.98 x 0.33 in)
Camon 12 Pro: 158 x 75.5 x 7.8 mm (6.34 x 2.97 x 0.31 in)
It is easy to admit that the two smartphones boast top-drawer designs. There are more similarities here than differences with the main notable difference in the smartphone dimension. While the Camon 12 boasts a dimension of 166 x 35.8 x 8.2 mm (6.54 x 2.98 x 0.33 in), Camon 12 Pro slides in with a more compact 158 x 75.5 x 7.8 mm (6.34 x 2.97 x 0.31 in).
One of the most disappointing things about both smartphone design though is that the rear panel was not treated to the glass design, which makes both phones look less classy compared to other budget smartphones in their category. That can easily be forgiven though, with the introduction of a well-packed triple camera setup at the rear for both phones.
Camera
Camon 12: Triple – 12 MP, PDAF; 8 MP; 2 MP Depth sensor; Front Shooter – 16 MP , f/1.8 HDR

Both smartphones feature a lovely 16 MP front shooter for selfies. While they also feature the same triple rear camera setup, the only difference is in the pixel of the main camera. Camon 12 features 12 MP main sensor, an 8 MP wide sensor and a 2 MP depth sensor while the Camon 12 Pro boasts a more impressive 16 MP main sensor, an 8 MP wide sensor and a 2 MP depth sensor.
Battery
Camon 12: 4, 000mAh
Camon 12 Pro: 3, 500mAh
