POCO C31 release: MTK Helio G35 and 5,000mAh battery, starts from ~RM478

As promised, POCO has brought a new C-series smartphone to the Indian market today. However, the device is not considered wholly new as it appears to be just a revamped version of last year's POCO C3. The only difference between the two devices is just an addition of a rear fingerprint sensor.

The POCO C31, as mentioned, is basically the POCO C3 by featuring the same MediaTek Helio G35 chipset. It also sports a 6.53-inch LCD panel with 720 x 1600 pixels (HD+), a 20:9 aspect ratio, and a waterdrop notch. Under the hood, it packs a 5,000mAH battery with 10W charging.

The camera department brings a 13MP primary sensor, a 2MP macro snapper, and a 2MP depth sensor. On the front, it uses a 5MP selfie camera. For connectivity, the device supports dual-SIM, 4G, VoLTE, VoWiFi, single-band WiFi, and Bluetooth 5.0. It will also run MIUI 12 based on Android 10 out of the box.

The POCO C31 will be on sale in India at INR 8,499 (~RM478) for the 3/32GB variant and INR 9,499 (~RM535) for the 4/64GB variant. There are only two colour options, including Royal Blue and Shadow Grey. It's unsure whether the device will come to Malaysia for now, but we'll update you once we receive any latest information.

POCO C4 & POCO M4 5G Malaysia release: early bird price starting from RM449

Just a few hours ago, POCO Malaysia just unveiled two new phones that are arriving in Malaysia soon. If you take a trip to its online store on Shopee, the POCO C40 and POCO M4 5G will be released on 18 August 2022 with an early bird price campaign until the 24th. The starting price is RM499.

To refresh your memory, both of these budget-friendly phones were already released in other countries so we have the full specs. Starting with the POCO C4, it comes with a 6.71-inch Dot Drop display, a 6000mAh battery pack with 18W fast charging technology, a 13MP dual rear camera, as well as using an octa-core JLQ JR510 chipset. If you're wondering, yes, that's an entry-level tier device.

On the other hand, the POCO M4 5G is a slightly powerful entry-level device featuring a MediaTek Dimensity 700 5G chipset. Moreover, it also has the same 13MP dual rear camera and 18W fast charging technology. The battery pack is 5000mAh and the display is slightly shorter, measuring at 6.58-inches. Nonetheless, it has a 90Hz refresh rate with a DynamicSwitch function.

For the price, you can refer to each memory variant and early bird price below:

As a reminder, the C40 doesn't have 5G and the M4 is the cheapest 5G device you can get in Malaysia. However, you shouldn't have too much expectations due to its entry-level tech specs. Anyway, that's all, folks. Stay tuned for more trending tech news at TechNave.com.


POCO C40 is a new entry-level phone, expected to launch on 16 June 2022

We know POCO has three series of smartphones - the F, M, and X series. The first one is the company's flagship series, while the other two series consist of mid-range devices. But soon, POCO could also have an entry-level model to add to its lineup of smartphones, starting with the POCO C40.

Late Friday night, POCO announced that it would unveil the POCO C40 on 16 June 2022. The announcement didn't reveal much but does mention that it's an exclusive POCO design. It's also expected to feature the company's iconic yellow colour. Based on the silhouette from the image, the phone would have a square cutout for the rear cameras, and what seems to be one for a now outdated rear fingerprint reader.

Not much else was revealed so far, but POCO did reveal the display specs and battery capacity. The POCO C40 will feature a 6.71-inch "immersive dot drop display", which means we can expect a tear-drop notch for the front camera. It will also have a sizable 6000mAh battery that should last for more than a day with regular daily activities like texting or web browsing.

While POCO has not confirmed it, sources believe that this is an entry-level smartphone. Would you get one if that's the case? Let us know in the comments below, and stay tuned to TechNave for more updates about this phone.

Therefore, we now know everything about the smartphone, and we're here to share it with you.

The POCO C40 sports a 6.71-inch LCD panel with a resolution of 1560 x 720 pixels (HD+), a 60Hz refresh rate, 400 nits peak brightness level and protected by an unspecified version of Corning Gorilla Glass. Under the hood, it gets powered by the JLQ JR10 SoC, which is okay that you've never heard of it because we don't either. There's also a 6,000mAh battery that supports 18W fast charging, but it ships with a 10W charger.

Meanwhile, the back gets a dual-camera setup with a 13MP primary shooter and a 2MP depth sensor. The front uses 5MP snapper for selfies and video calls. Other POCO C40 features include a dual SIM card slot, 4G, dual-band WiFi, Bluetooth 5.0, GNSS, a USB Type-C port, a dedicated MicroSD card slot, a 3.5mm headphone jack, and a rear-mounted fingerprint sensor.

POCO F1 Armoured Edition coming to Malaysia soon? Catch the Jakarta livestream here

As the POCO F1 by Xiaomi smartphone is due for a reveal in Jakarta today, we spotted the Mi Store in IOI City Mall Putrajaya Facebook page flashing a #flagshipkiller hashtag image of what certainly looks like the POCO F1 Armoured Edition. Featuring a kevlar-based body, the POCO F1 Armoured Edition was recently revealed in India for 29999 INR (~RM1762) with the same Snapdragon 845 chipset, 12MP+5MP AI dual rear camera, 20MP Dual Pixel front camera, infrared face unlock as the normal polycarbonate POCO F1.

With all the hype, the POCO F1 is likely to be known as the POCOPHONE F1 if it does arrive in Malaysia and we expect both the 8GB RAM + 256GB storage Armoured Edition and the normal 6GB RAM + 64GB storage version to arrive, helping Xiaomi to flesh out their Mi 8 flagship killer range. How soon could it arrive in Malaysia? No exact Malaysia release dates were revealed yet but with the teaser by the Mi Store in IOI City Putrajaya, this could be very soon.

However, the POCO F1 did come with a similarly kevlar-like patterned case, so it could just be the normal version with said case so do take this with a pinch of salt. Would you be disappointed if the Armoured Edition doesn’t make it to Malaysia? You can catch the POCO F1 Jakarta livestream here (today, 3pm), and we’ll have some details about it in a bit so stay tuned for that at TechNave.com.


POCO F1 by Xiaomi officially pushes value boundaries with SD845, 12MP+5MP AI dual rear camera, 20MP Dual Pixel front camera, infrared face unlock and more from ~RM1233

The much rumoured POCO F1 smartphone by Xiaomi has just gone official with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 chipset, 12MP+5MP AI dual rear camera, 20MP Dual Pixel front camera, infrared face unlock (so it works in the dark) and 6GB RAM + 64GB storage from 20999 INR (~RM1233). Featuring LiquidCool tech in a polycarbonate (basically plastic) body, the POCO F1 also has a 4000 mAh battery and is set for release in India on 29 August 2018. No Malaysian release dates or pricing details yet, but it is expected in Jakarta on 27 August 2018, so it could eventuallly come to Malaysia.

Coming in black, blue, red and a kevlar-based Armoured Edition, there will also be a 6GB RAM + 128GB storage version for 23999 INR (~RM1409) and an 8GB RAM + 256GB storage version for 28999 INR (~RM1703). The 8GB RAM + 256GB storage Armoured Edition will go for a still affordable 29999 INR (~RM1762).

If these prices remain the same if or when it comes to Malaysia, then we can expect it to takeover the throne of most value priced Snapdragon 845 smartphone from the ASUS ZenFone 5Z, which is normally priced at RM1899 but ASUS slashed the price to RM1799 just for yesterday, so this price could remain or go lower to stay competitive. True, the POCO F1 does bring more features to the table, but it also has a polycarbonate body compared to the premium metal and glass bodies of other flagship killers in its class.

Then again, bringing in the POCO F1 to Malaysia would also mean a direct contention with Xiaomi's own Snapdragon 845 powered Mi 8 flagship killer which is priced at RM1599 as well. Perhaps if it does come (for maybe RM1299? ), it will be the polycarbonate alternative for people who don't care about a premium build or for those who want a more premium built Armoured Edition instead (kevlar is more expensive than glass and metal).

Would you buy the POCO F1 for RM1299? Or would you go for the POCO F1 Armoured Edition for RM1799? Discuss on our Facebook page (let us know what you'd like us to check out) and stay tuned to TechNave.com as we might be going to check it out come this 27 August 2018.

It is believed that the F4 GT is meant for the global market outside of China. Though not much information have came out regarding the device, it will most probably share the same specs as the Redmi K50 Gaming.

In fact, based on a Geekbench listing of the upcoming device, the F4 GT may just be a rebrand of the Redmi K50 Gaming. This is definitely possible given the relationship between Redmi, POCO and Xiaomi.

According to rumours, this latest POCO device may feature a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 CPU coupled with an Adreno 730 GPU under the hood. In terms of cameras, it may feature a 64MP + 8MP + 2MP triple camera setup at its rear.

Other possible specs of the F4 GT include a 4750mAh battery capable of up to 80W fast charging, Android 12 via MIUI13 and a 6.67-inch 120Hz OLED display. However, do note that these are mere speculations and that we must wait until 26 April to get the official specs.

POCO F4 specs leaked online, expected to have Snapdragon 870 chipset

Back in November 2021, it was rumoured that POCO would launch a rebranded version of the Xiaomi K50 Gaming Pro as the POCO F4 GT. Months later, we finally have an update that's related to this. Specifically, a new leak of the standard POCO F4 was spotted online.

According to Yogesh Brar, the POCO F4 would come with a Snapdragon 870 chipset, 6/8/12GB of RAM, and 128/256GB of storage. It will also come with a 4500mAh battery and support for 67W fast charging. For reference, the Redmi K50 Gaming uses a Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 chipset. On the other hand, it's rumoured that the unreleased Redmi K50 Gaming Pro would allegedly use a Dimensity 9000 chipset.

POCO F4•6.3" FHD+ AMOLED, 120Hz•Qualcomm Snapdragon 870•6/8/12GB LPDDR5 RAM•128/256GB UFS3.1 storage•Rear cam- 50MP + 13MP (UW) + 5MP (Tele-Macro)•Front Cam- 32MP•Android 12, MIUI 13•4,500mAh battery, 67W charging

Besides that, the source claimed that the POCO F4 will feature a 6.3-inch FHD+ AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate. If that's true, the phone would be slightly smaller than the flagships we normally see. It's also expected to feature a 50MP+13MP+5MP (main+ultrawide+tele-macro) triple camera at the back, plus a 32MP front camera for selfies.

With the ongoing MWC 2022 this week, there might be some details from POCO about this soon. So, stay tuned to TechNave for more updates about the POCO F4!


POCO F5 Pro will reportedly be a rebranded Redmi K60

Previously, we reported that POCO might be preparing to launch the POCO C50 next week and the POCO X5 series in February 2023. Now, another leak has claimed that the Xiaomi subsidiary will launch the POCO F5 series afterwards, which would be a rebrand of the recently released Redmi K60 series.

Shared by Kacper Skrzypek on Twitter, the tipster claimed that the F5 Pro will be a rebranded Redmi K60 but is unsure about the identity of the vanilla F5 variant. If the Redmi K60 series were to be the basis for the POCO F5 series, the entry-level Redmi K60e would logically be the vanilla F5, but Skrzypek said that is simply not the case because the K60e is a China-exclusive device.

In fact, POCO may skip the vanilla F5 variant completely and only release the F5 Pro. Something similar has been done by the Xiaomi subsidiary before with the POCO F4 series, whereby no ‘Pro’ variant was released.

Therefore, it is not unlikely for POCO to just release the F5 Pro and not the vanilla F5. Of course, do take this information with a grain of salt as nothing is confirmed as of yet.

If the POCO F5 Pro is indeed the rebranded version of the Redmi K60, then it’ll be quite a competitive smartphone in the price range. You can check out the full specs of the latter here.

So, what do you guys think of the upcoming POCO F5 Pro? Share your thoughts with us in the comments below and stay tuned to TechNave for more trending tech news.


POCO F5 confirmed to feature Snapdragon 7+ Gen 2 SoC

POCO is set to unveil the POCO F5 series in the near future and now, we’ve got confirmation of what processor would be powering the POCO F5. Revealed by Qualcomm via its Snapdragon India Twitter account, the F5 will feature the new Snapdragon 7+ Gen 2 SoC under the hood.

In the tweet, Qualcomm said that this would be the first appearance of the new mid-range chipset in India when the F5 series launches. Hence, it’s possible that the lineup would be launched in India first before making its way to other markets.

Moreover, Qualcomm also revealed that the processor would exert 50 per cent higher overall performance, 13 per cent improved power efficiency and twice the AI performance compared to the Snapdragon 7 Gen 1. The processor is already powering a Xiaomi-affiliated phone, the Redmi Note 12 Turbo and based on rumours, the F5 will be a rebranded version of the device.

As of the time of writing, POCO has yet to reveal when exactly the F5 series will launch. Hence, make sure to stay tuned to TechNave for the latest development on this and for more trending tech news!


POCO F5 might finally have a different chipset by packing the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1

The first leaks of the POCO F5 are here. New information provided by Xiaomiui points out that the device will feature a 2K display that supports a 120Hz refresh rate and a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 processor.

Despite being a common standard for the current flagships, it's still exciting to know that the POCO F5 will feature a more powerful processor. The previous POCO F3 and F4 pack the same chipset, which is the Snapdragon 870. Therefore, many users of the previous model did not consider purchasing the new one. However, POCO might have taken note of that and would do something different this time.

Furthermore, POCO F5 could be a rebranded version of an upcoming Redmi device, the Redmi K60. The previous POCO F4 arrived as a rebranded Redmi K40, so the company is likely to take ideas from the same series. IMEI Database has revealed the identification number for the POCO F5 as 23011311AG, and it's expected to launch in the same time period as the Redmi K60.

Since POCO parted ways with Xiaomi in January this year, the company has been focused mostly on releasing products in India. The POCO X2 never made its way here, but the POCO F2 Pro was launched in Malaysia last month and now the POCO M2 Pro is just around the corner.

Fans of POCO would be happy to know that the company is looking to launch something new soon. Recently, an allegedly official render of the POCO M3 Pro 5G was leaked online. Now, sources have also found some key specs for the device.

According to Gizmochina, the POCO M3 Pro 5G will feature the Dimensity 700 chipset, which is MediaTek's latest 7nm entry-level chipset.

POCO M3 Pro certification spotted, could be a rebranded Redmi Note 10 5G

It's been a while since we heard about the POCO M3. The phone was launched in November last year in Malaysia and POCO might be releasing a pro variant of it. Simply dubbed as the POCO M3 Pro, it recently got spotted through certifications in India and the USA.

According to sources, the POCO M3 Pro might be a clone of the Redmi Note 10 5G which was recently announced. It could feature the same Dimensity 700 chipset with two memory capacities - 4GB/6GB of RAM and 64GB/128GB internal storage. The IPS display measures 6.5-inches in FHD+ resolution supporting a 90Hz refresh rate and could sport a 5000mAh battery with an 18W or 22.5W fast charge.

In terms of cameras, the triple rear camera is just slightly different from the Redmi Note 10 5G. It could consist of a 48MP + 2MP + 2MP at the back, whereas the front is an 8MP sensor. In other related matters, sources are also saying that Xiaomi may release a Redmi 20X which could be a reskin of the Redmi Note 10 5G as well.

Seeing as how the Redmi Note 10 5G is not available in Malaysia (note, it's not the same as the Redmi Note 10), there's a good chance that Xiaomi Malaysia might bring in that as the POCO M3 Pro. Well, this is just speculation so until then, we will have to wait and see. Stay tuned for more trending tech news at TechNave.com.


POCO M3 could feature a 6000mAh battery, SD662 chipset and more

Just when we thought POCO was done for the year after releasing the POCO F2 Pro, they have one more surprised which is the POCO M3. Very little is known about this device but thanks to a leak online, here are some things that we can expect about the phone.

Rumoured to be spotted on Geekbench, the POCO M3 could be a mid-range tier smartphone featuring a Snapdragon 662 chipset. While that doesn't sound impressive, perhaps the battery could be the highlight as it is packing 6000mAh power and supports 18W fast charging technology. On top of that, the display measured 6.53-inches and the triple rear camera sports a 48MP sensor.

Besides that, rumours have it that the POCO M3 is featuring 6GB of RAM and up to 256GB internal storage. A fingerprint sensor is said to be located on the right side instead of being an in-display feature, there should be some expandable storage well via a microSD card. Lastly, it could be running on Android 10 out of the box.

Some sources are thinking that the POCO M3 could be a rebranded Redmi 10 for having similar tech spec, but we won't know until they announce it on 24 November 2020. The global livestream will start at 8PM in Malaysia and we shall see what they have in store for the market. Stay tuned for more trending tech news at TechNave.com.

POCO M4 Pro 5G allegedly spotted on Geekbench, uses Dimensity 810 chipset

The Poco M3 Pro 5G launched in May 2021, providing some respectable specs and great features at a reasonable price. But the Poco M4 Pro 5G might already be on the way, with a possible reference of it on Geekbench.

According to Gizmochina, the Xiaomi 21091116AC spotted on Geekbench could be the POCO M4 Pro 5G. It features an ARM MT6833P CPU, which is what's expected to be MediaTek's Dimensity 810 5G chipset. It scored 592 to 603 points in the single-core test and 1712 to 1797 points in the multi-core test. Overall, quite decent for a lower mid-range device.

Besides that, the phone is expected to have 8GB of RAM, 33W fast charging, and will run on Android 11. Based on its predecessor, it should also have a 90Hz refresh rate display, a 5000mAh battery, and a triple-camera setup. The triple camera could also be upgraded to a 64MP main camera.

Of course, there's no solid confirmation that this is the POCO M4 Pro 5G, so take the news with a grain of salt. Do let us know what you think in the comments, and stay tuned to TechNave for more updates about this phone.


POCO M4 Pro 5G certified. Will it be launching very soon?

Based on a statement by @kacskrz and @yabhishekhd on Twitter, it seems that the POCO M4 Pro 5G might have been certified, confirming that the mobile phone will be coming out in the near future. While not much is known in regards to the Malaysia release date, it does give us a better idea of what to expect when it is available in the local market.

Judging by what we can see in the leaked images, it seems that the phone will come equipped with 33W fast charging. Unfortunately, other than what was mentioned, there’s no information on the exact tech specs and features the phones will come equipped with.

POCO M4 Pro 5G confirmed to launch on 9 November

Earlier today, the POCO M4 Pro 5G got spotted on Geekbench and hinted at the use of MediaTek Dimensity 810 5G SoC. After a short while, POCO finally revealed the launch date by scheduling it for 9 November. Besides that, the company also mentioned that the new POCO M-series phone is going to be "fun" and "powerful".

According to rumours, the POCO M4 Pro 5G could be a rebranded version of the Redmi Note 11 launching today. It wouldn't be a surprise if it were true since the last POCO M3 Pro is basically a Redmi Note 10 5G but with a different shell. Furthermore, it's not a bad thing as well as the Redmi Note 11 packs tons of exciting features.

For the tech specs, the device is expected to have 8GB of RAM, 33W fast charging, and will run a UI based on Android 11. It could also feature a 90Hz refresh rate display, a 5,000mAh battery, and a triple-camera setup. The primary camera could get upgraded with a 64MP sensor as well.

POCO M4 Pro gets further confirmed to be a rebranded Redmi Note 11

The POCO M4 Pro launching next Tuesday gets further confirmed to be a rebranded Redmi Note 11 device. Images of the renders have surfaced on the internet, showing an identical design of the Redmi device that debuted last week.

As expected, the POCO M4 Pro will sport a 6.6-inch LCD punch-hole display with a 90Hz refresh rate, the same as the Redmi Note 11. However, it looks like the camera module on the POCO device might get expanded to incorporate the brand's logo. If you thought that's a quad-camera setup, the sad news is there will only be a 50MP primary shooter and an 8MP ultrawide snapper, with the other two as cosmetic lenses.

Besides that, if other specs followed Redmi Note 11's, there will be a MediaTek Dimensity 810 5G chipset with up to 8GB RAM and 256GB storage. It will also offer a 5,000 mAh battery that supports 33W fast charging and will likely ship with Android 11.

POCO M4 Pro gets spotted on FCC listing

More details of the next POCO M-series smartphone are now on the internet after a device with model number 21091116AG gets spotted on the FCC listing. Although it doesn't specifically mention the device's name, we can confirm that it's a POCO M4 Pro, thanks to T-Mobile's IMEI and IMEI24 databases.

The M4 Pro is confirmed to have 5G connectivity, dual-band Wi-Fi 5 support, dual-SIM slots, NFC, and support for GPS, Glonass, BDS, and Galileo positioning systems. It's also coming in two configurations, including 4GB/64GB and 6GB/128GB. The source mentions that it will run MIUI 12.5 based on Android 11.

If you want to know more about what is coming, the POCO M3 Pro will be the standard for the M4 Pro to exceed. The former device came with a 6.5-inch 90Hz LCD, a 5,000mAh battery, MediaTek Dimensity 700 SoC, and a triple rear camera setup led by a 48MP sensor.

POCO Pop Buds could be launched as rebranded Redmi AirDots 3 Pro

POCO has announced its entry into the true wireless earbuds segment some time ago with a product named POCO Pop Buds. Until now, it is rumoured that the brand's first TWS earbuds could be coming soon as rebranded Redmi AirDots 3 Pro.

The Pop Buds was spotted on Bluetooth SIG certification with the same model number TWSEJ01ZM which matches the said Redmi audio gadget. It also reveals the pair will come with Bluetooth 5.2 and a 28-hour battery life. It is no surprise anymore as the brand often rebrands Redmi's products as its own. However, this is still exciting as the earlier launched AirDots 3 Pro fits the brand's image by offering flagship features at an affordable price.

To recap, the Redmi AirDots 3 Pro was launched as a pair of budget TWS earbuds with Active Noise Cancelling that can decrease outside noise by 35dB. It also supports low latency mode for gaming and the charging case can be wirelessly charged. For protection, the earbuds come with an IPX4 water repellent coating that allows them to survive water splashes.

Acer Swift X (2022) release: a new 16-inch model & up to 12th Gen Intel Core processor

As CES 2022 kicks off, Acer has already revealed three new Chromebooks and a special Aspire Vero National Geographic Edition. On top of that, there's also yet another new Swift X (SFX14-51G) version with some upgraded tech specs. Read on below if you want to find out more.

As usual, the Swift X is still quite compact weighing at just 1.4kg and comes in two size variants - a 14-inch model and a new 16-inch model. You can also expect it to pack new specs with up to a 12th Gen Intel Core processor with up to 12 cores and an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 Ti GPU. As for the latter, the 16-inch model (SFX16-52G) features 12th Gen Intel Core processors with up to 12 cores and discrete Intel Arc graphics.

Design-wise, the Swift X still looks the same but as the saying goes - don't judge a book by its cover. Acer integrated a fan, air inlet keyboard and dual heat pipes for the standard model whereas the 16-inch model got a pair of dual fans, dual copper heat pipes, an air inlet keyboard, and a bigger side exhaust port. Yup, all this inside the 17.9mm thin chassis.

Furthermore, you can find a 16:10 aspect-ratio IPS screen—2240x1400 for the 14-inch model and up to 2560x1600 (WQXGA) for the 16-inch model with narrow bezels, allowing for up to a 92.22% screen-to-body ratio. The displays are combined with 100% coverage of the sRGB colour gamut and up to 400 nits of brightness as well.

Finally, the Swift X has up to 16 GB of LPDDR5 memory and 2 TB of PCIe SSD storage. Intel WiFi 6E (802.11ax) is on board too and you can also find the laptops’ I/O includes two Type-C ports with Thunderbolt 4 (up to 40GBs) support, two USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A ports, and HDMI 2.0 port.

Acer Malaysia hasn't confirmed if the latest Swift X variation is coming to Malaysia but we think there's a good chance since we did a review on the predecessor last year. Until then, stay tuned for more trending tech news at TechNave.com.
