Design and Display
- Big, smooth screen: a 6.8-inch IPS LCD with a 120Hz refresh rate and a 1080 x 2460 resolution (~395 ppi), so scrolling and everyday use feel fluid.
- Centre punch-hole: the 32MP front camera sits in a small hole in the middle of the display, keeping the bezels slim.
- Solid in the hand: 166.8 x 74.6 x 8.6 mm and 204 g, with a glass front and a plastic back and frame.
- Practical touches: a side-mounted fingerprint sensor and a 3.5mm headphone jack.
- Colours: Polar Blue, Eco Black and Mondrian — the Mondrian back changes colour in sunlight.
Performance
- Helio G96: the MediaTek Helio G96 (12 nm) pairs 2×2.05 GHz Cortex-A76 cores with 6×2.0 GHz Cortex-A55 cores, with a Mali-G57 MC2 GPU.
- Memory: 8GB of RAM and 128GB or 256GB of storage, with no card slot, so pick the storage size you need up front.
- Software: Android 12 with HIOS 8.6.
- Measured speed: GSMArena measured AnTuTu 348,546 (v9) on this phone — a fair mid-range result for its time.
- Check the model: this is the Camon 19 Pro (CI8, CI8n) — not the Camon 19 (Helio G85, 60Hz, 18W), the Camon 19 Pro 5G (Dimensity 810) or the Camon 19 Neo (Helio G85, 48MP main).

- No wireless charging: charging is wired only.
Software
- Android 12 with HIOS 8.6: the software the phone launched with.

Price in Pakistan
The Camon 19 Pro launched in July 2022 and is no longer sold new in Pakistan. Units today are remaining or used stock, priced by condition and seller. Two independent Pakistan sources agree on the current price: whatmobile lists Rs. 49,999 (updated 10 Nov 2026, official-dealer list) and hamariweb lists Rs. 49,999 (updated 10 Nov 2026, marked Discontinued) — that Rs. 49,999 is the price used here, Expected. MobileDokan carries no price rows for this phone — its only figure is a BDT 22,000 “Expected price” glance (Rs. 48,999), which is not a sourced price but sits within 2% of the Pakistan figure. zmobiles lists the 8+128 variant at Rs. 29,999, but its own page says the price “depends on condition & seller” and warns about “a remaining or used unit” — that is a used-market figure, not used here. The Mondrian colour lists separately at Rs. 51,999 on whatmobile and hamariweb. All prices Expected, PTA tax not yet confirmed.
| Model | Tecno Camon 19 Pro |
| Price | PKR. 49,999 (Expected) |
| Display | 6.8″ IPS LCD, 120Hz, 1080×2460 |
| RAM | 8GB |
| ROM | 128GB / 256GB |
| Released | July 2022 |
Buying in Pakistan
- Check the IMEI and the exact model, CI8 or CI8n — the Camon 19 (CI6), the Camon 19 Pro 5G (CI7n) and the Camon 19 Neo (CI6n) are different phones.
- Confirm the warranty on the unit you are buying.
- Confirm PTA status via DIRBS, within the 60-day window.
- Check the battery health and the display on any used unit.
- Make sure it is the Camon 19 Pro (Helio G96, 120Hz, 50MP 2x telephoto, 32MP selfie) and not the base Camon 19 or the Neo.
Final Verdict: A 120Hz Helio G96 phone at Rs. 49,999
The 6.8-inch 120Hz display, Helio G96, triple camera with a 50MP 2x telephoto and OIS on the main lens, 32MP selfie and 5000mAh battery with 33W charging are a fair package, and the 50MP 2x telephoto and 32MP selfie are still the draw — if you check the battery first. The weakest points are the IPS LCD panel (no AMOLED), the 1080p-only video and the four-year-old Android 12 base. The trap is the name — check model CI8/CI8n, the 120Hz display and the 50MP telephoto before paying.
