Poco has launched a new budget phone in India, the Poco C71 with a 120Hz IPS LCD display, 5,200mAh battery and up to 6GB of RAM. The new phone from the Xiaomi sub-brand is priced at around ₹6,000 and will compete with the likes of the Samsung Galaxy M05 and Infinix Smart 9 HD.
Poco C71 Price and colour options:
Poco C71 starts at a price of ₹6,499 for the 4GB RAM/64GB storage variant and ₹7,499 for the 6GB RAM/128GB storage variant. The phone will be available to buy from Flipkart starting from 8th April at 12 noon.
It will be available in Power Black, Desert Gold and Cool Blue colour variants. In terms of the design, the phone comes with a pill shaped camera module with a dual tone finish, something that Poco has also used with its pricier models like the X7 Pro.
Poco C71 specifications:
Poco C71 features a 6.88-inch HD+ IPS LCD display with a 120Hz refresh rate and 600 nits of peak brightness. The phone comes with a side-mounted fingerprint scanner and a 3.5mm headphone jack to connect wired earphones. It comes with an IP52 dust and water resistance rating, meaning it can withstand some dust and very little exposure to water.
The phone is powered by UNISOC T7250 based on 12nm process with Mali-G57 MP1 GPU. It is paired with 4/6GB of LPDDR4X RAM and 64/128GB of eMMC 5.1 internal storage, which is expandable up to 2TB via the microSD card slot.
Unlike the more expensive Poco phones with HyperOS support, this device runs Android 15 (Go Edition) with the promise of 2 years of OS updates and 4 years of security patches.
The Poco C71 comes with a 5,200mAh battery with support for 15W of wired charging. While the phone doesn’t support 5G, it does come with support for Dual 4G VoLTE, Bluetooth 5.2, GPS and a USB Type-C port for charging.
