Otherwise, both phones will produce almost the same quality of pictures with their rear cameras. Another noticeable improvement will be the night mode that will be available on both phones as a result of the ultra night lens feature.

Battery Comparison on Tecno Camon 15 vs Tecno Camon 15 Premier
In this aspect I honestly expected the Pro model to carry the 5000mAh battery capacity, especially because the motorized part will consume a decent amount of battery, unfortunately, it has a 4000mAh battery.
The Camon 15 has a whopping 5000mAh battery which might be the reason some people will prefer it to the Camon 15 Premier.
Overall the Camon 15 takes the day when it comes to the battery. You can expect to get a decent amount of screen on time with both phones.

Pricing
The pricing of the phones is a major problem although we must note that the current global pandemic might be the actual reason behind the price tag. Infinix s5 pro is selling for less with similar specs on board.
There are a lot of options out there that perform way better within the same price and some for lesser price.
Overall Thoughts on These Smartphones
The smartphones are well designed and it will usher in the first pop up camera from Tecno. I expected a much higher chipset on the pro model but it seems Tecno is still confident of the Mediatek Helio P35 chipset in 2020.
The night mode that the camera will come with is a step in the right direction for Tecno mobile.
One major miss on the Camon 15 Premier will be battery a pop-up camera module consumes a lot of battery and I personally feel the Premier model should be the one with a 5000mAh battery.
The phone I will choose is the regular Camon 15 for its big battery capacity and Ram size it will even compete for side by side with the Camon 15 Premier.
