TECNO Philippines celebrated the launch of the CAMON 40 Series by bringing to life its vision of “One Tap, Perfect Snap” with the FlashSnap Fiesta, a vibrant three-day carnival held at Market! Market! Activity Center last May 8-10, 2025. The event united thousands of fans, tech enthusiasts, and animal advocates under one roof — with showbiz icon Sarah Geronimo taking the spotlight as the “TECNO CAMON 40 Series Royalty”.
Seizing The Moment: Where Technology Meets Human Connection
The CAMON 40 Series’ core ethos — capturing fleeting moments and living in the now — echoed through every corner of the festival. Attendees immersed themselves in interactive zones designed to showcase the CAMON 40 Series’ revolutionary FlashSnap AI technology, sleek design and IP68/IP69 water and dust resistance. The FlashSnap Fiesta transformed the venue into an immersive playground, featuring themed zones that showcased the CAMON 40 Series’ revolutionary technology.
• Snap Action Zone: Basketball dunks and spin bikes challenged visitors to freeze fast-paced movements with a single tap, proving the CAMON 40’s ability to turn adrenaline into crystal-clear memories.
• Snap Furry Zone: Partnering with animal rescue nonprofit Pawssion Project, TECNO transformed pet adoption into a heartwarming photo journey. Rescue dogs became instant models as guests tested the phone’s Pet Auto-Focus, blending advocacy with cutting-edge tech.
• Underwater Adventures: A massive aquarium at the TECNO Hub let users dive into underwater photography, demonstrating the device’s resilience while capturing vibrant marine life.
Sarah Geronimo: A royal celebration of Filipino spirit
The festival opened last May 8 with Sarah Geronimo on stage, embodying the CAMON 40’s spirit of “living in the moment”. She performed her hit song “Kilimetro” chatted with TV host Dianne Medina about her love for capturing life’s candid moments, and played flashsnap games with TikTok Creators and fans. TECNO executives bestowed Sarah with the title of “CAMON 40 Series Royalty” — complete with a bespoke certification mirroring the green color from CAMON 40 Series — cementing her role as the brand’s ambassador of spontaneity and authenticity. Adding to the excitement, viral celebrities such as “talking” dog Theo Romeo, gaming influencer Aningning and Zen Pro hosted high-energy mobile eSports battles at the Flash Game Zone empowered by CAMON 40 Series’ great performance.
