[Exclusive] Tecno Camon 50 surfaces ahead of announcement

Tecno is steadily moving forward with the launch of its upcoming Camon 50 series, which has been making headlines over the past few weeks. After the recent appearance of the Camon 50 Pro on database, another model from the lineup—the standard Camon 50—has now been spotted on the IMEI database.

While the listing does not provide any information regarding the smartphone’s hardware or design, it does confirm the device’s model details. The Camon 50 is registered with the model number “CN5.” However, at this stage, it remains unclear whether Tecno will be introducing the standard variant with 4G connectivity, 5G support, or possibly both, depending on different markets.

The Camon series has consistently positioned itself as Tecno’s photography-focused lineup, and with the Camon 50 series expected to debut soon, anticipation is building around what upgrades the company plans to deliver in terms of camera technology, performance, and overall user experience. With the Pro model already under the spotlight, the presence of the standard Camon 50 on the IMEI database indicates that the full lineup may be close to launch.
