Our verdict
A camera-led midranger with a rare-for-Tecno 3 OS + 5-year security promise.
Pros
- Long official update commitment (3 OS upgrades, 5 years of security patches)
- Bright 144Hz AMOLED panel that feels premium for the price
- Capable 50MP main plus a genuine ultra-wide and a high-res autofocus selfie camera
Cons
- 45W charging is modest next to siblings that hit 70W
- Plastic frame and back, and the 4G variant drops 5G entirely
