Why buy the Camon 50 Ultra
- Zoom that holds detail. The 50MP telephoto gives true 3x optical zoom, so you can shoot a speaker on stage or a building across the street without cropping into a blurry image.
- Sharp selfies and 4K vlogs. The 50MP front camera has autofocus and records 4K, which matters for TikTok, YouTube and video calls where faces must stay crisp.
- 5G and a 4nm chip. The Dimensity 7400 Ultimate is a clear step up from the Helio G200 in the cheaper Camon 50 models, and 5G gives faster downloads in areas with 5G coverage.
- Room for everything. 512GB of storage holds years of 4K clips and photos, which is important because there is no memory card slot.
- Built to survive. IP68 and IP69K ratings plus Gorilla Glass 7i on both sides give strong protection for a mid-range phone.

Camon 50 Ultra vs Camon 50 Pro
| Camon 50 Pro 4G | Camon 50 Ultra 5G | |
|---|---|---|
| Network | 4G | 5G |
| Processor | Helio G200 Ultimate (6nm) | Dimensity 7400 Ultimate (4nm) |
| Rear cameras | 50MP main + 50MP 3x telephoto + 8MP ultra-wide | 50MP main + 50MP 3x telephoto + 8MP ultra-wide |
| Selfie camera | 32MP | 50MP with autofocus |
| Battery / charging | 6,150mAh / 60W | 6,500mAh / 45W |
| Storage at Avechi | 256GB | 512GB |
| Avechi price | KSh 42,999 | KSh 58,599 |
Verdict: Both phones share the same zoom setup. The Ultra costs KSh 15,600 more and pays you back with 5G, a stronger chip, 4K video, a better selfie camera and twice the storage. If you only shoot photos and 4G is enough, the Camon 50 Pro is the smarter buy. For video work or keeping the phone three years or more, go Ultra.
Other phones to consider
- Tecno Camon 50 Pro (8GB/256GB, KSh 42,999): the same 3x zoom camera for less, if you can live with 4G.
- Xiaomi Poco X8 Pro (8GB/256GB, KSh 50,999): a performance-first 5G alternative for heavier gaming.
- Google Pixel 9a (8GB/128GB, KSh 53,999): cleaner software and long update support, but less storage and no telephoto.
- Samsung Galaxy A37 5G (8GB/256GB, KSh 42,799): a cheaper 5G Samsung with a long update promise.
