The Poco C40 was recently spotted on the National Broadcasting and Telecommunications Commission (NBTC) and Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) websites and now the smartphone has visited UAE’s TDRA website. The agency has granted approval to the smartphone. However, the certification did not reveal any specification of the handset.

According to tipster Mukul Sharma, the Poco C40 has been spotted on the TDRA (Telecommunications and Digital Government Regulatory Authority) UAE website. Although the listing did not reveal any specifications of the smartphone, it does hint at an imminent launch of the new Poco phone. The upcoming smartphone has been listed on the TDRA website with model number 220333QPG and the model name “Poco C40”.

Poco also recently confirmed through a community forum post that two new smartphones, dubbed Poco C40 and Poco C40+ will soon join the smartphone brand’s affordable C-series lineup.

Poco C40 was also spotted on NBTC and BIS websites with the same model number. Poco is yet to reveal the launch and specifications of the smartphone, however, we do know some details about its specification, thanks to leaks and Rumors.

Poco C40 Specifications (Rumored)

According to previous leaks, the Poco C40 is going to be powered by an unusual processor, and it’s not Qualcomm, MediaTek, or a Unisoc SoC, but an entry-level JR510 SoC. The upcoming Poco smartphone is also expected to run MIUI Go out of the box. MIUI Go is said to be a special version of the MIUI operating system. It will be comparatively lighter than the regular OS.

The smartphone will have support for WiFi 2.4GHz and 5.0GHz. Previous listings have confirmed that the handset will only have 10W charging. It will measure 167.18 x 76.87mm (length x width).

The company has not revealed the price of the device yet, however, judging from the specs, it is likely to be priced under $128.

Usually, POCO smartphones in the C-series are rebadged versions of the Redmi phones. The POCO C3 that launched last year was a rebrand of the Redmi 9C. The POCO C31 brought a similar design with tweaked specs. This year, we are expected to see the POCO C4 as the successor to the two aforementioned phones and it will likely be a rebadge of the Redmi 10C/Redmi 10. Now, however, a new phone called the POCO C40 has been reported by the folks at XDADevelopers, which appears to not follow the same old rebadge suit.

The upcoming POCO C40 first appeared on the FCC certification website with model number C3QP. To recall, the Redmi 10C carries a similar model number – C3Q. Having said that, the POCO C40 was believed to be just another rebadge. However, it seems that the C40 isn’t actually a rebadge.

One of the senior XDA members kacskrz reported that the POCO C40 will not use the Snapdragon 680 chipset of the Redmi 10C, nor will it have a MediaTek or UNISOC chipset. Instead, the C40 is said to pack an entry-level chipset called the JR510.

To those unaware, the JR510 is a chipset made by China’s JLQ technology. Currently, this chipset is powered by entry-level phones made by Treswave like the TW501, TW104, and TW502. Xiaomi choosing this chipset for its sub-brand’s POCO C40 will be an uncanny choice.

Moreover, the POCO C40 was spotted on the Geekbench database with the codename “frost”. However, the phone is yet to pass the test on the platform. In addition to this, kacskrz also spotted a mention of “MIUI GO”, hinting at a lite version of the MIUI software skin. As of now, it is unclear whether the MIUI GO will work on the Android Go OS or if it will just be a software skin for the regular Android OS.

As far as its availability is concerned, the smartphone is touted to be available in all markets including the European region. POCO C40’s other specifications and release date still remain a mystery.
