New Budget Poco Phone in the Market: Poco C31

Looks like POCO India has expanded its range of entry-level smartphones with the POCO C31.

While I thought that POCO India would announce a successor to last year’s POCO C3, it has re-released the device with a fingerprint scanner as the POCO C31 instead. You can say that the POCO C31 is also the Redmi 9C, or Redmi 9 in India.

A quick round of the specs:

The POCO C31 has a 6.53-inch display, up to 4 GB of RAM and a 5,000 mAh battery.

The POCO C31 relies on a MediaTek Helio G35 SoC, just like the POCO C3 and 32 GB or 64 GB of storage.

The latter can be expanded via a microSD card, which POCO India complements with two SD card slots. The 13 MP primary, 2 MP secondary and 2 MP tertiary cameras from the POCO C3 remain, as does the 5 MP selfie camera.

The POCO C31 ships with Android 10. The device will be available in India for INR 8,499.
