Published on April 30, 2026 | Translated from Spanish

Manufacturer Tecno has started sales in Russia of the Camon 50 and Camon 50 Ultra 5G smartphones. The top model stands out for its relatively low price, advanced camera set, and powerful processor. The main camera of the Camon 50 Ultra 5G includes a 50-megapixel Sony Lytia 700C sensor with optical stabilization, a telephoto lens with three-dimensional optical zoom, and an 8-megapixel ultra-wide-angle camera. Its 50-megapixel front camera enables 4K video calls.

A MediaTek processor and a zoom that sees far 🚀

Thanks to artificial intelligence, the Camon 50 Ultra 5G offers a 60x superzoom and a motion capture mode for sharp photos. The device runs on a MediaTek Dimensity 7400 Ultimate processor, handling demanding tasks without overheating your pocket. The combination of a telephoto lens with three-dimensional optical zoom and AI software allows you to get close to distant objects with acceptable quality, though without expecting miracles. The main Sony Lytia 700C sensor captures good light in adverse conditions, and the front camera records in 4K for video calls that show even the wrinkles on your shirt.

Beware of the zoom: you might see what you shouldn't 👀

With 60x digital zoom, the Camon 50 Ultra promises to get you close to the neighbor who never takes out the trash. But be careful, because at that zoom level, any breeze turns the photo into an abstract painting. The AI does what it can, but don't expect to focus on the yogurt label three blocks away. That said, for spying on the menu at the next table in a restaurant, the telephoto lens gets the job done without raising suspicion. At least until the waiter catches you with your phone held high.
