Tecno Camon 19 Neo is like a Lite version of Tecno Camon 19, but with a few key changes in the camera section. The display remains the same as that of Tecno Camon 19 i.e, a 6.8-inch Full HD+ display with a punch hole. This phone comes in  3 colours: Dreamland Green, Ice Mirror and Eco Black.

The chipset also remains the same, the Mediatek Helio G85 chipset. It also comes in a single variant of 6GB of RAM and 128GB of internal memory. 

In terms of camera, the 64MP camera has been downgraded to a 48MP one on this phone. But the secondary cameras remain the same, two 2MP auxiliary cameras. Interestingly, the camera on the front has been upgraded to a 32MP one from the 16MP camera on Tecno Camon 19.

Battery and charging speeds are the same, a 5,000 mAh battery and 18W charging.

Both the phones come with HiOS on top of Android 12 out of the box. 

What is the point of these phones?

As you have seen with the specifications and features of the phone, these two phones aren't exactly the best value-for-money offerings. These phones are targeted at the offline market mainly, even though it is also available on Amazon. That is the reason they're not having the best chipset or the fastest charging rate. It has got one distinguishing feature though, a standout design. 

Tecno has a different series, the Tecno Spark series which has better features than these phones at a much less price. Check out Tecno Spark 8 Pro, Tecno Spark 8T or the upcoming Tecno Spark 9.
