You can choose from two colour variants which is the Midnight Black and Bordeaux Red respectively. All in all, overall build looks quite modern with solid ergonomics.
A considerable improvement can be noticed in the smartphone’s display compared to the Tecno Camon X although the same size is maintained. The display on the Camon X Pro appears more immersive with better colour reproduction and higher pixel density.
