Users will also benefit from stunning Dual Chips 4K Ultra-night Vision delivering effective noise reduction and Dual Chips 4K Portrait Video for supremely realistic 20-bit color restoration in portrait videography.

In terms of lenses, CAMON 30 Premier 5G is equipped with four state-of-the-art 50MP lenses that offer an outstanding and comprehensive imaging experience.
