Judging from the key features of both phones as seen in the table above, we’ll be comparing these phones. This is where it gets even more interesting and trust me. The summary below will show us the similarities and differences of both phones.

Network Connectivity

Both phones gives you same features when it comes to internet connectivity. There is no 5G network available in both phones. They use 2G, 3G and 4G networks which is pretty standard judging from the fact that 5G network is currently not available in most countries.

So for a start both phones are tied in this category. You get same value for the money spent here. Now lets move on to the build, design and display category to see where the differences begins.

Build, Design and Display

These two phones has Glass front, plastic back, plastic frame build. Which means you should expect same quality here and durability. The fingerprint sensor of these phones are placed at the back.

Both phones have the pop up selfie camera which means you have the whole screen to your self. They both have similar display size, the Infinix S5 Pro display size is 6.53 inch while Camon 15 Premier is 6.6 inch. Well, its pretty much same to me. You can hardly notice the 0.07 inch difference in display size.

The designs and build materials of both phones are pretty much same. Even the rear camera arrangement are same, same curved edges, same IPS LCD display types with little difference in display size. Except you like a bigger screen phone, you get same value and quality here.

Operating System and Chipset

Both phones runs on the latest version of Android OS, the Android 10. Which means you should expect to see same Android features in both phones. But, the difference will be seen in the User Interface. The Tecno phone is using the HioS while the Infinix Phone is using the XOS. Users will see differences in App arrangement and settings etc.

The SOC used in both phones are same. They use a MediaTek SOC, the Mediatek MT6765 Helio P35 (12nm) which is pretty good. Same CPU cores, same CPU speed, same GPU. Basically, their performance won’t be that different.

Having same SOC suggest that gaming experience and other graphics and animation operations will be same. This category is more of similarities than differences.

Internal Storage and RAM

Both of these phones comes with a 6GB RAM and 128GB Internal Storage. But, the Infinix S5 Pro comes with a lower variant of 4GB RAM and 64GB Internal Storage. This is good as it gives users option to choose. There is also option for external storage via microSD card. There is really nothing much to talk about here. In this category, both phones brings same value to the table.

Camera

The Tecno Camon and Infinix S series are known for their camera performance while still managing to include other features that users would love in smartphones.

Camon 15 Premier comes with a 64MP quad rear camera which is a big megapixel while the Infinix S5 Pro comes with a 48MP triple rear camera. But in the front the Infinix S5 Pro comes with a 40MP pop up selfie camera while the Camon 15 Premier comes with a 32MP pop up selfie camera. We are giving the Tecno phone a boost in camera performance and below is why.

You see, the Tecno Camon 15 PREMIER is using Sony IMX686 64MP sensor which is unique. The Tecno promises better back camera quality but a live test between these two phones will verify. You can JOIN US on YouTube to catch all our live videos and reviews.

However, we can’t ignore the 40MP pop up selfie camera of the Infinix phone. We are hoping it beats the Camon 15 premier 32MP in camera test.

Battery

Both phones comes with a 4000 mAh battery with no fast charge or wireless charge feature enabled. The battery size is not bad considering that the likes of Google Pixel 4 series last year came with lesser battery.

Prices

The price of Infinix S5 Pro 4GB RAM, 64GB ROM is N67,8000 Naira. While the price of Infinix S5 Pro 6GB RAM, 128GB ROM is N82,400 Naira. The price of the Camon 15 premier is about $247, N95,000 Naira. You can easily see that the Tecno phone is more expensive.

No doubt the INFINIX S5 Pro vs TECNO Camon 15 Premier phones nice phones. The question now is, will you pay extra to get the Tecno phone or pay less for the Infinix Phone? Remember that both come with same pop up selfie technology.
