POCO has made its name in the mid-range and budget segment. The company has captured a huge market share in Asian countries, especially in India. The Chinese tech giant recently launched the M4 Pro and now it is gearing up to refresh its entry-level segment with the launch of a new C-series smartphone. The device in question is the Poco C40 which recently bagged NBTC and BIS certification.
As initially spotted by Mukul Sharma, POCO C40 has visited the National Broadcasting and Telecommunications Commission (NBTC) Thailand site with the model number 220333QPG and the name “POCO C40”. The same device has also appeared on the BIS India site. The listing does not reveal the specifications of the smartphone but it indicates that it might be launched soon.
It is worth noting that a device with the same model number was also spotted on the FCC certification site. The FCC listing revealed some key specifications of the smartphone. As per the listing, POCO C40 is likely to run MIUI 13 based on Android 12 out of the box. However, it is possible that the handset may carry a lite version of the MIUI software skin. The POCO C40 will carry support for WiFi 2.4GHz and 5.0GHz. The listing also confirms that the smartphone will only have 10W charging. It will measure 167.18 x 76.87mm (length x width).
Previous reports have suggested that the POCO C40 will be powered by an unusual JR510 processor manufactured by China’s JLQ technology. Moreover, the smartphone is expected to carry a 6000mAh battery and a dual-camera setup on the back.
POCO has not confirmed any details about the device, however, judging from the specs, it is likely to be priced under $128. The smartphone will see daylight later this year.
