Unboxing the Poco C40 budget smartphone with a hands-on review of the camera tech, gaming performance and many, many bugs. I love the affordable Poco phones but the Poco C40 is sadly a janky mess, with basic optics and a JLQ chipset (who?)

Check out my coverage of the best budget handsets of 2022 so far, if you want to find some good value mobiles under £200.

On the plus side, you have a couple of bold colours to choose from and the battery life is also solid. That’s about it, sadly. The Poco C40 is slow no matter what you’re up to while games such as PubG and CODM are a struggle. Here’s hoping this is the last time a JLQ chip is used in a phone for a while.

That camera setup is basic too, with a 13MP main sensor and a depth sensor, and that’s it. Everyday photos look grainy with unnatural colours, while low light shots are right out. The Poco C40’s 720p display is fine, no more, while the mono speaker is tinny at best.

You’ll find better value smartphones from Poco on sale quite regularly, and check out Xiaomi’s Redmi range too. Unfortunately I have to say steer clear of this one!
