Apple doesn't publish an end date, but iPhones have a consistent ~2-year update track record — on that basis the Camon 20 Pro should be supported until around May 2025. Buying it today still gets you about -1.1 years of safe use, and Apple's written legal minimum is 5 years (verified June 2026).

Our verdict

A faster Helio G99 take on the Camon 20 with a 120Hz panel, but the same short and unofficial support window.

Pros

  • 120Hz AMOLED display feels smooth for the class
  • Helio G99 is noticeably stronger than the base model's G85
  • Adds NFC for contactless payments

Cons

  • Still 4G-only with no 5G
  • Estimated support window has already expired
Best for: Budget buyers wanting more speedBest for: 120Hz seekers on a budgetAvoid if: Long-support seekersAvoid if: 5G users

Frequently asked questions

Is the Tecno Camon 20 Pro still updated in 2026?

No formal policy was promised, and its estimated two-year security window from May 2023 ended in 2025, so it is effectively out of support.

What is the difference between the Camon 20 and Camon 20 Pro?

The Pro swaps the Helio G85 for a faster Helio G99, adds a 120Hz refresh rate and includes NFC, while the base model is capped at 60Hz and lacks NFC.

Is the Camon 20 Pro worth buying in 2026?

It is a capable budget performer, but without current updates or 5G it is best as a low-cost device rather than a phone you plan to keep for years.
