We have now been testing the Tecno Camon 40 Professional (the 5G variant) and needed to share our battery life findings. The cellphone is supplied with a 5,200mAh battery (with 45W wired charging) and contains a curved 6.78” OLED show working at as much as 144Hz. It’s powered by a Dimensity 7300, a 4nm chip from the TSMC fabs.
Battery life take a look at
The Camon 30 Professional from final 12 months has a barely smaller 5,000mAh battery however a higher-end Dimensity 8200 Final (which is fabbed on the identical 4nm node because the 7300). The additional efficiency helped within the gaming take a look at the place the previous mannequin lasted an hour longer. It additionally had the higher hand within the name take a look at, whereas the net and video exams are fairly shut – this gave the 2024 Professional an additional 40 minutes of Lively use rating.
The latest Motorola Edge 60 Fusion makes for an attention-grabbing level of comparability – the worldwide mannequin (which is the one we examined) makes use of the identical Dimensity 7300 chip and the battery has the identical 5,200mAh capability. The display is a bit smaller, but it surely has a better decision – 6.67” 1220p+ for the Motorola in comparison with 6.78” 1080p+ for the Tecno. It has a bonus of over 2 hours within the video playback take a look at, which was sufficient to outscore the Tecno by a small margin.
Tecno Camon 40 Professional
The Infinix Observe 50 Professional+ additionally makes for an attention-grabbing comparability – it has a 6.78” 144Hz show, similar to the Tecno (it’s flat however that doesn’t have an effect on energy utilization) and the identical 5,200mAh battery. Nonetheless, it makes use of a Dimensity 8350, which is constructed on a extra superior N4P node. Not like with the Camon 30 Professional, the 8000-series chip fell onerous within the gaming take a look at. The online and video exams are noticeably decrease than the Camon 40 Professional too. This places the Infinix two hours decrease than the Tecno.
The Poco X7 runs on the Dimensity 7300 Extremely (a minor variation of the 7300) and 5,110mAh batteries (simply 90mAh lower than the Tecno). It has a smaller, sharper 6.67” 1220p+ show that has a 120Hz refresh fee. Whereas the {hardware} seems shut, the X7 is down 2 and a half hours within the Lively use rating with worse outcomes throughout the board.
Charging velocity take a look at
The Tecno Camon 40 Professional helps 45W chargers – it even ships with one within the field. That’s a decrease ranking than the earlier mannequin, the Camon 30 Professional, which helps (and ships with) a 70W charger.
The Camon 40 Professional is off to a sluggish begin – it would not assist that almost all of its rivals assist greater cost charges. Certain, a few of them have smaller batteries, however the 90mAh distinction with the Poco X7 (the one different cellphone with 45W charging within the record) is not sufficient to account for the 8 share level distinction on the 15 minute mark.
X7’s lead extends on the 30 minute mark. In the meantime, the Infinix Observe 50 Professional+ has primarily crossed the end line at this level. The Motorola Edge 60 Fusion (which has the identical 5,200mAh battery) exhibits the benefit of its greater 68W ranking. Curiously, the Tecno Camon 40 Professional beat the Poco X7 to 100% – simply by a minute, but it surely’s nonetheless sudden, on condition that it was behind at 15 and half-hour. The Motorola received to 100% 20 minutes quicker than the Tecno. The Camon was additionally crushed by its predecessor by quarter-hour.
Verdict
The Tecno Camon 40 Professional has superb battery life in comparison with its friends and cost velocity is okay should you cost to 100%. Fast top-ups will not be so fast nevertheless. It is onerous to not discover the downgrade in comparison with the Camon 30 Professional – the 2024 mannequin lasted longer (with a smaller battery no much less) and charged quicker. These will not be the one downgrades both, within the assessment we are going to go over efficiency and cameras too (the 30 Professional had a 50MP ultra-wide, the 40 Professional has an 8MP module).
