POCO's latest budget smartphone, called the C40, has gone official in the global markets. As for the key highlights, the phone runs on a new JR510 chipset developed by JLQ Technology, paired with up to 4GB RAM. It has dual cameras on the back, a 6,000mAh battery, and comes in Coral Green, Power Black, and POCO Yellow shades.
POCO is thriving in the mid-range segment, but the company is also consolidating its position in the entry-level device market. The newly unveiled POCO C40 seems to be inspired by the Redmi 10, which was introduced in India back in March. The smartphone will take on budget smartphones from established rivals such as TECNO, Samsung and Infinix.
The POCO C40 bears a 6.7-inch HD+ (720x1650 pixels) LCD display with Corning Gorilla Glass protection. The smartphone sports a waterdrop notch design with noticeable bezels and a plastic frame. There is a physical fingerprint reader on the rear, within the full-width camera bump. Dimensions-wise, it measures 9.18mm thick and weighs 204g.
As far as the cameras are concerned, the POCO C40 houses dual rear cameras, comprising a 13MP (f/2.2) main lens and a 2MP (f/2.4) depth sensor, paired with an LED flash. For selfies and video calls, it has a 5MP (f/2.2) front-facing camera. It draws power from a 6,000mAh battery which supports 18W charging.
Under the hood, the POCO C40 is powered by JLQ JR510 SoC, paired with up to 4GB of RAM, and up to 64GB of internal storage. The smartphone boots Android 11-based MIUI 13 out of the box. Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 5, dual-SIMs, Bluetooth 5.0, GPS, a 3.5mm headphone jack, and a Type-C port.
The official pricing of the POCO C40 smartphone will be disclosed when it will become available for purchase. According to the reports, the 4GB/64GB model of the handset is expected to retail at $150 (nearly Rs. 11,700). It is offered in Power Black, Coral Green, and POCO Yellow shades.
