Our take

Is it any good?

The C85x sells for ₹13,499 for 4GB + 64GB, with a ₹1,000 step up to ₹14,499 for 4GB + 128GB. It targets budget buyers who want a large screen and extended battery life without spending on 5G hardware.

The phone provides a 6,300 mAh battery with 33W wired charging, driving an expansive 6.9-inch 120Hz screen. Photography comes from a 50MP primary camera, and POCO promises four operating system updates to keep the software current over several years.

The limitation is connectivity and basic processing: the MediaTek Helio G81 Ultra chipset is strictly 4G LTE, and base internal storage sits at just 64GB. Spending the additional ₹1,000 for 128GB is well worth the modest outlay for everyday usability and media storage.
