Editor Rating
3.2/5

Xiaomi Poco C31 is one of the more affordable smartphones sold under the popular Poco sub-brand of the Chinese smartphone maker. It features a solid and stylish plastic unibody with a plastic frame to keep the weight down while still retaining enough rigidity to avoid fall damage and accidental scratches. The rear panel has been given a dual-tone finish in both colour and texture, with the lower section featuring a diagonal texture that helps prevent fingerprint accumulation and a non-reflective matte finish. The upper portion gets a more glossy metallic matte look, with cutouts for the camera sensors and the fingerprint sensor.
