Poco C40 has a glass front, plastic back and a plastic frame build. It has a waterdrop notch on the front and a big camera module on the back that includes the fingerprint sensor as well as Poco branding. This is a similar design seen on Xiaomi’s own Poco X4 Pro and M4 Pro launched a little while ago. The phone has a side-mounted fingerprint sensor for biometrics.
The phone weighs 203 grams and is 9.1mm thick. The presence of the phone will surely be felt in the pocket due to its size. It is available in three colours: midnight black, Pacific blue and Caribbean green.
