Price & Colour:
The phone is expected to be released with a price tag of Rs 19,999. The phone comes in two base colors; Royal Blue and Shadow Gray.
Camera:
The back side of the smartphone contains a triple-camera system inside a square housing. The main camera has a 13MP wide angle sensor. The secondary camera is a 2MP depth sensor, while the third camera is a 2MP macro sensor. These cameras are present alongside an LED flashlight. The front camera is contained inside a water-drop notch present at the extreme top of the main screen. This front camera has a 5MP wide angle sensor, which is also used by face unlock software.
RAM & Storage:
The phone is released in two memory variants; 32GB internal storage with 3GB RAM and 63GB internal storage with 4GB RAM. The internal storage is expandable using a microSD card which can support up to 256GB.
Display:
The screen size of the new Poco C31 is 6.53 inches. This screen is using IPS LCD display which has added feature of representing 16 million colors. The resolution of this screen is 720x1600 pixels, which gives a density of 269 pixels per inch. The screen-to-body ratio of Poco C31 is around 81.0%.
Battery:
Poco C31 comes with a large battery size of 5000 mAh Li-Po non-removable battery pack. The phone can be charged using a 10W charging adapter. Although, the plastic is hard, the phone weighs in at just 194 grams, which is good considering the big 5000 mAh battery pack.
Processor/Chipset:
The new smartphone comes with a chipset from MediaTek. Xiaomi has decided to use the MediaTek Helio G35 chipset in this new Poco C31. This chipset runs alongside an octa-core processor which has four 2.30GHz cores and four 1.80GHz cores. The phone is using a PowerVR GE8320 as the GPU.
Poco C31 is using Android version 10 as its operating system. This operating system uses an in-house MIUI 12.0 as the user interface. Although this user interface is online, Xiaomi has avoided using advertisements, which is a great plus point.
Extra Features:
The front screen of the Poco C31 is not protected by anything and since a protective back case is also not present in the box, we would advise users to order a tempered glass and a back cover for extra protection because plastic can break. The new entrant of Xiaomi comes with a big 6.53 inch IPS LCD display.
The upcoming Xiaomi Poco C31 is using Android version 10 as the operating system. This operating system is using MIUI 12.0 for the user interface. This is the biggest negative point about this phone. With the release of Android 11 and beta testing of Android 12 almost towards an end, the phone is still running on Android 10.
Although Android 10 is a good operating system, it is not updated and there were some bugs in Android 10 which are fixed in new versions. The phone cannot be updated to a newer version, which is another big drawback. The user interface of MIUI 12.0 is good and does not have any lags when buttons are used, there was a bit of lag when gestures were used.
