Tecno Camon 20 series has launched in India with three phones in it. There is the highest-end Camon 20 Premier 5G, a mid-tier Camon 20 Pro 5G, and a standard Camon 20, which is a 4G phone. The Camon 20 series debuted earlier this month in a few markets, but the India launch makes it a potential competitor to Redmi Note 12 series.
The new Camon 20 series phones, the company touts, come with a new material technology called “Magic Skin.” This is not the name for the software but the material used on the back panel of three phones. Tecno claims the new Magic Skin makes the phone back skin-friendly, stylish, and easy to clean. This sounds interesting, but is it appealing enough for customers who have other choices such as Redmi Note 12 5G, which is available for less?
We have drawn a comparison between the specifications of the brand-new Tecno Camon 20 Pro 5G and the slightly old Redmi Note 12 5G, so it is better for you to make a decision.
