POCO officially releases its entry-level device in the Philippines, the POCO C40 equipped with a 6.71-inch display, JLQ JR510 processor, and a massive 6,000 mAh battery.

Interestingly, the Xiaomi sub-brand opted to use a less-familiar chipset using JLQ technology through JR510 octa-core CPU. While we have little information about this new chipset player, the brand says “it outshines its peers in terms of performance.”
In terms of design, we see a patterned back panel that seemingly resemble a faux leather, but of course, entry-level tier mostly uses plastic materials.
