TECNO's next smartphone in India will feature color-changing back panel
What's the story
TECNO is prepping to introduce the CAMON 19 Pro Mondrian Edition in India. The handset's microsite on Amazon has also gone live.
The brand has introduced Polychromatic Photoisomer technology on the device, which will allow its monochrome back cover to showcase changing colors under illumination.
Other than the cosmetic changes, this special edition model will bear similar configurations as the regular CAMON 19 Pro.

Through the Mondrian Edition device, the brand has paid its tribute to Piet Mondrian, a Dutch artist.
With its color-charging rear design, high refresh rate display, good primary and telephoto cameras, and 33W fast-charging, the handset will be a solid competitor in the sub-Rs. 25,000 segment.
