I have been using the Tecno Camon 18P for a year. I think I will give a test to the Tecno Camon 30 Premier.

Some of the specs are not correct according to what is mentioned on GSMArena. Both devices are supposed to have FM radio, not only the Premier version, and both of them record in 4K at 60fps.

I've been using the Tecno Camon 20 for over a year, and I've been searching for an upgrade. Lo and behold, the Camon 30 is available. I think I'll give this one a try.
