Editorial report

Xiaomi Poco C3 technical sheet

The Poco C3 suits people looking for a phone for basic tasks who put battery capacity first. The trade-off is 10 W charging, slower than on most phones of its time. Its 5,000 mAh battery holds more capacity than most, but charging is a clear weak point against those phones.

The 6.43-inch IPS LCD display reaches 400 nits peak brightness, among the weakest figures for phones of its time. Its 270 ppi density is also lower than on most, making screen definition another compromise. This configuration has 3 GB of RAM and 32 GB of storage; the Poco C3 is also sold in a 4 GB / 64 GB configuration, and its storage is expandable.

Its AnTuTu result of 110,490 is lower than that of most phones of its time, and overall performance hardware is among the weakest. The camera is worse than that of most phones of its time, too. The main camera has 13 MP and an f/2.2 aperture, among the weakest aperture specifications of its time. Connectivity is below average for phones launched around the same time.

The Poco C3 is best understood as a basic phone, rather than a choice for people who prioritize speed or the camera. Its battery capacity stands out, but the modest display, limited performance and slow charging shape the overall verdict. NeoScore: 3.8. It can suit someone seeking straightforward essentials, provided those compromises fit the priorities for a phone.
