Highlights
- 120Hz refresh rate, a first in the budget segment.
- Android 15 out of the box
- Wet Touch Technology
Poco has officially launched its latest budget smartphone, the Poco C71, in India. Priced at Rs 6,499, the device is set to disrupt the budget smartphone market in this price range. With a 120Hz refresh rate, Android 15 out of the box, and Wet Touch Technology, the Poco C71 is too good to be true.
A Display That Stands Out
One of the biggest highlights of the Poco C71 is its segment’s largest screen size of 6.88 inch with HD+ display and 120Hz refresh rate. These features, typically found in mid-range and flagship devices, ensures smoother scrolling experience and better gaming performance. The phone also introduces Wet Touch Technology, a feature commonly found in premium phones, allowing the screen to remain responsive even with wet fingers.
Performance and Storage: Power-Packed for the Price
Under the hood, the Poco C71 is powered by Unisoc T7250 processor, coupled with 6GB RAM. Additionally, virtual RAM expansion allows users to push the RAM memory up to 12GB for a seamless multitasking experience. The 128GB internal storage, expandable up to 2TB via microSD, ensures ample space for apps, media, and documents.
Camera Setup: Decent for the Price
Poco C71 sports a 32MP dual rear camera setup, allowing users to capture detailed shots. For selfies, an 8MP front camera ensures clear and bright images, making it a good choice for social media enthusiasts.
Battery Life: Big Battery, But Slow Charging
Poco has packed a 5,200mAh battery in the C71, which is impressive for a budget smartphone. The device promises an all-day battery life, making it ideal for students and young professionals.
The Downsides: No 5G and Slow Charging
While the Poco C71 offers several groundbreaking features for it’s category, it has two major drawbacks:
- No 5G Connectivity: The device supports only 4GVOLTE, 4G, 3G and 2G, which might be a dealbreaker for users looking for futureproofing with 5G connectivity option.
- Limited to 15W Charging: Given the 5,200mAh battery, if not 25W, at least 18W charging would have made it an even better deal for users.
Price and Availability
The Poco C71 is priced at Rs 6,499 and is available for purchase on Flipkart. Early buyers can also avail themselves additional bank cashback offers and EMI options.
Final Verdict: A Strong Contender in the Budget Segment
The Poco C71 is an attractive option for young users and students who want a premium phone experience that is budget friendly. With a 120Hz display, Android 15, expandable RAM & storage and a solid battery backup, on one hand it stands out in its segment. On the other hand, the lack of 5G connectivity and slow charging might be a concern for some users.
