The Tecno Camon 50 Ultra 5G was tested using the camera evaluation suite from DXOMARK to measure photo, video, and zoom performance in real-world use. The device achieved an overall camera score of 146, with 154 for photo and 132 for video. According to TECNO, this is currently the highest DXOMARK camera score among smartphones priced under $600.

Camera hardware

The Tecno Camon 50 Ultra 5G uses a triple rear camera system designed to handle different shooting situations.

The main camera uses a 50 MP sensor with an f/1.8 aperture and a 23 mm wide lens. It has a 1/1.56-inch sensor, 1.0µm pixel size, phase detection autofocus, and optical image stabilization (OIS).

The ultra-wide camera uses an 8 MP sensor with an f/2.2 aperture and a 14 mm lens. It offers a 112° field of view, uses a 1/4.0-inch sensor, and has 1.12µm pixels.

The telephoto camera uses a 50 MP sensor with an f/2.4 aperture and a 70 mm lens. It uses a 1/2.88-inch sensor, 0.61µm pixels, PDAF, and supports 3x optical zoom.

Photo performance

The phone achieved a photo score of 154. In testing, the main camera delivered stable exposure and natural colors in most conditions. Skin tones were rendered accurately across different skin types. Images showed good detail and controlled noise in bright light, indoor lighting, and moderately low light.

Autofocus was fast and accurate. The camera was able to lock focus quickly when capturing both still and moving subjects. Group photos also benefited from extended depth with AI face detail enhancement that kept faces clear across the frame.

Some issues were still visible in testing. Exposure shifts affecting brightness and contrast appeared in certain scenes. White balance changes were also noticeable in some cases. Testers also observed artifacts such as fusion artifacts and occasional face rendering issues in both main and telephoto photos.

Low light and portrait

In low-light scenes, the camera maintained good detail with limited noise. Faces usually appeared bright and well rendered, though they could sometimes appear slightly brighter than the background. Exposure and white balance could shift in challenging lighting.

Portrait mode produced natural skin tones and reliable background separation. Depth mapping was usually accurate, although small depth errors could appear around the subject.

Zoom and video

The telephoto camera delivered consistent results with the main camera in both photo and video capture. Images retained good detail and low noise. The ultra-wide camera showed lower quality, with softer images and more visible noise compared with the other cameras. Zoom performance received a score of 125.

Video achieved a score of 132. Video clips showed good detail and controlled noise. Autofocus remained stable, although exposure shifts were sometimes visible during recording.

Overall, the Tecno Camon 50 Ultra 5G delivers strong camera performance for its price segment, especially with its main and telephoto cameras.

TECNO has quietly launched the CAMON 50 Ultra 5G, expanding the CAMON 50 series after several teasers. The phone focuses on mobile photography, AI features, and durability, offering high-resolution camera sensors, AI imaging tools, and a rugged design.

Hardware & software

The CAMON 50 Ultra 5G runs on the MediaTek Dimensity 7400 Ultimate processor. The chipset is built on a 4-nanometer process and is designed to provide balanced performance and power efficiency.

The device features a 6.78-inch curved AMOLED display with a 1.5K resolution. The screen supports refresh rates up to 144Hz, which improves smoothness when scrolling and switching between apps. TECNO also includes ProXDR eye-care technology to reduce eye strain during long viewing sessions. Power comes from a 6500mAh battery. The phone supports 45W fast charging, allowing users to recharge the large battery quickly.

The phone includes TECNO’s AI software tools. These include an upgraded Ella smart assistant, an AI Image-to-Video generator, 3D PhotoSpace, and AI LightMaster 2.0.

TECNO has confirmed three major Android OS updates and up to five years of Android security updates for the device. Users will also receive 50GB of TECNO Cloud storage every year for the first three years.

The CAMON 50 Ultra 5G carries IP68, IP69, and IP69K ratings. These ratings indicate resistance to dust, water submersion, and high-pressure water jets. The device also holds MIL-STD-810 military certification, which means it has passed tests for drops, shocks, and general physical stress.

Camera hardware and imaging features

The CAMON 50 Ultra 5G uses a triple-camera system designed for different shooting situations. The main camera is a 50-megapixel Sony LYT-700C sensor with Optical Image Stabilization. It uses a 1/1.56-inch sensor size, which helps capture more light and improves performance in low-light conditions.

The second camera is a 50-megapixel telephoto sensor that supports 3x optical zoom. This lens is intended for portrait photography and distant subjects without losing image quality.

An 8-megapixel ultrawide camera completes the setup. It allows users to capture wider scenes such as landscapes, buildings, and group photos.

TECNO also adds several software tools to support the camera hardware. AI 60x SuperZoom increases zoom capability using AI processing. Super-Zoom FlashSnap helps stabilize and sharpen subjects when shooting at high zoom levels. The phone also supports Live Photo, which records short motion clips around each photo. A dedicated Underwater Photography mode is included for shooting in wet conditions.

TECNO says the phone achieved a DXOMARK overall camera score of 146. According to the company, this is the highest score among smartphones priced under $600. The device also received an impressive portrait score of 142.
