TECNO Camon 20 Pro 5G Vs The Realme 11 Pro 5G: A Clear Winner Emerges
Cheap mid-range smartphones are among the most sought-after devices in the Indian market due to the amazing prices. At the forefront of the competition in this segment are the TECNO Camon 20 Pro 5G and the Realme 11 Pro 5G, both priced at Rs 25,000. But there are major differences between the two that make one better than the other. If you're not sure which one to choose, here's an in-depth comparison to help you make your final decision.
Performance – Camon 20 Pro 5G takes first place
The TECNO Camon 20 Pro is the first smartphone in India to feature the powerful new MediaTek Dimensity 8050 chipset, while the Realme 11 Pro 5G has opted for the less powerful Dimensity 7050 SoC. Both are 6nm chips, but the TECNO phone's processor has a more powerful core configuration. A single Cortex-A78 core runs at 3.0 GHz and three other Cortex-A78 cores run at 2.6 GHz. The Dimensity 7050 chip found in the Realme device only has two 2.6GHz Cortex-A78 cores.
This gap definitely gives the TECNO Camon 20 Pro 5G a huge advantage in terms of its overall performance, especially in heavy tasks like gaming and video editing. This can also be seen in the benchmark results of both phones. Camon 20 Pro 5G averages 6.87k on AnTuTu while Realme 11 Pro 5G averages 5.50k. So if performance is paramount, the TECNO device is clearly the first choice.
Cameras – Low light performance is critical
While most smartphone cameras these days take great photos, it can still be difficult to find cameras that are great for low-light and night-time photography, especially in the mid-range. Both phones solve this problem with software and hardware and let's see which phone wins. TECNO Camon 20 Pro 5G features a proprietary 64MP RGBW sensor with (G+P) lens. This lens is able to let 200% more light into the sensor, resulting in superb low-light images with incredible clarity and detail. In addition, the phone has sensors for selfies and macro photos, which improve the camera's productivity.
Then there's the Realme 11 Pro 5G, which has a 100MP main camera but doesn't have the same camera lens. Although it delivers high-quality photos through the main camera, it only offers a depth sensor and omits the macro sensor. The amazing close-up that the aforementioned camera allows gives the Camon 20 Pro 5G an edge for those looking to capture such innovative images. TECNO phone is also ahead in the field of selfies. It features a super bright 32MP selfie camera with night mode and HDR. On the other hand, the Realme phone comes with a 16-megapixel front camera. It is worth mentioning that the smartphone Camon 20 Pro 5G offers flash support for the front camera, thanks to which you can take better selfies compared to the Realme 11 Pro. The rear camera flash is also TECNO's best display, so you won't have trouble with the lighting in any situation.
Design - a combination of utility and style
There is no denying that the TECNO Camon 20 Pro 5G is stunningly beautiful with its amazing leather back. No wonder it won the Gold Award at the 2023 Muse Design Awards. In addition, this back is made of water-resistant 2.5D ceramic that offers a hardness of 7H, making it a very durable device. The flat edges of this phone provide a much better grip and the smooth 7.8mm profile ensures a good grip.
On the other hand, the Realme 11 Pro 5G also features a stunning leather texture on the back, making it an attractive phone. The housings of the rear cameras of both phones are unique. However, TECNO has obtained an IP53 rating for the device and the Realme phone makes no such claim. Notably, the Camon 20 Pro has 5G NFC support, allowing for a variety of use cases that its competitors lack.
Presentation – comfort is important!
Both phones feature a 6.67-inch display with FHD+ resolution. It offers the same 120Hz refresh rate and allows users extremely smooth scrolling, fast animations and top-notch graphics in games. However, there is a difference. The TECNO phone opts for a flat, borderless panel, while the Realme phone opts for a scratch-prone curved display.
Price - really big difference!
The Camon 20 Pro 5G variant with 8GB RAM and 256GB storage (expandable up to 1TB) is priced at Rs 21,999 in India, while the base variant of the phone is sold for 8GB RAM and 128GB storage. GB for only 19,999 rupees. For a device with amazing features, it is very expensive. In contrast, the Realme 11 Pro 55G starts at Rs. 23,999 for the 8GB + 128GB model and goes up to Rs. 27,999 for the 256GB storage model. That's a big price difference and might put some people off buying this new phone.
Conclusion – TECNO Camon 20 Pro 5G is a good choice.
As can be seen in the comparison above, TECNO Camon 20 Pro 5G beats the Realme 11 Pro, be it in processing power, the AnTuTu benchmark score or the comparable price. TECNO's latest offerings boast impressive features across the board, from display to optics, making it a compelling purchase for many buyers. This TECNO phone is also well designed which makes it stand out from its competitors.
