Is it any good?
The C81 is a 4G phone built around a 6,300 mAh battery and a 6.9-inch 120Hz screen, for ₹12,999 with 4GB + 64GB. It comes in Elite Black, Sky Blue and Sunset Gold.
It runs a Unisoc T7250, ships with Android 16 and HyperOS 3, and is 8.15 mm thin. It weighs 208 g, uses a 13MP main camera and an 8MP selfie camera, and has Wi-Fi 5 and Bluetooth 5.2, but no 5G and no NFC.
The catch is value: the C75 is ₹2,000 cheaper and brings 5G, and the C85x adds 5G and four Android updates for ₹497 more. Unless 4G is all you need, look one step either way. POCO India does not say how many Android updates it gets.
