TECNO's innovative RGBW Pro technology replaces the "green" array solution in the traditional RGGB color filter with a "white" one, thus allowing 208% light intake to be captured in low-light conditions. The 1G+6P lens increases the light intake when it reaches the main sensor by replacing one of the plastic lenses with a glass one. The main sensor on TECNO CAMON 20 Premier 5G is also increased from 1/1.73 to 1/1.56 and the single pixel size from 0.8?m to 1.0?m, with 56.25% larger light-sensitive area to ensure images are as close to real-life scenes as possible. With greater light transmission, TECNO CAMON 20 Premier 5G lets users capture crystal-clear night portrait in stunning definition, never losing a detail in the dark. 

II.            Never a blur moment with sensor-shift Technology-

Looking to capture sharp, steady high-quality photos on the go? TECNO has incorporated SLR camera in-body image stabilization into the CAMON 20 Premier 5G. The devices with Sensor-Shift OIS Anti-Shaking Technology can compensate for shakes up to 5,000 times per second. As a result, images and video are crisp and vivid, even when taken while moving at speed. What sets Sensor-shift apart from traditional lens stabilization is the way it works. Instead of relying on lens movement to compensate for shaky hands or bumpy rides, Sensor-shift uses the motion of the camera's sensor itself. This advanced
