Short Review
- The Xiaomi Poco C31 features a practical design with dimensions of 164.9 x 77.1 x 9 mm and a weight of 194g, available in Royal Blue and Shadow Gray.
- Its 6.53-inch IPS LCD display offers a resolution of 720 x 1600 pixels, providing decent clarity at approximately 269 ppi, but lacks HDR support and refreshes at 60Hz.
- Powered by the Mediatek MT6765G Helio G35 chipset, it delivers adequate performance with an octa-core CPU and options for 3GB or 4GB of RAM.
- The camera system includes a 13 MP main sensor, complemented by 2 MP macro and depth sensors, capable of recording 1080p video at 30fps, while the 5 MP selfie camera serves basic needs.
- The 5000mAh battery ensures extended usage, although it charges at a modest 10W and lacks wireless charging.
- Running on Android 10 with MIUI 12, the software experience is functional but may feel dated.
- Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n and Bluetooth 5.0, but it does not support 5G or NFC.
- The device features a microUSB 2.0 port and retains a headphone jack for audio needs.
- Overall, the Poco C31 is a straightforward smartphone that covers essential features without any standout innovations.
- Special features are limited, focusing instead on reliability and basic functionality.
