The Pocophone has a simple case design. The back is made of plastic and the frame of an aluminum alloy. The device comes in a choice of four colors: blue, gray, red and one with a Kevlar back. The Kevlar edition is slightly longer, thicker and five grams (<0.2 oz) heavier than the other variants too.

Our test device is well constructed and there is a plastic frame separating the display from the metal frame for added drop protection. Gaps between materials are precise and tight fitting, albeit it creaks quietly when we apply pressure to the case. Equally, we could create waves on the display by applying firm pressure to the panel.

The card slot sits flush with the frame on the left-hand side of the device and matches its coloring. The Pocophone supports either two nano-SIMs or one SIM and a microSD card. The device has no IP rating so has no certified protection against dust and liquids.
