Is it any good?
The C81x is POCO's entry 4G phone with a newer design: a 6.88-inch 120Hz screen and a 5,200 mAh battery for ₹11,999 with 3GB + 64GB. It comes in Crystal Black and Ice Blue.
It shares the C81's Unisoc T7250 and 8MP selfie camera, and POCO promises two Android updates. It weighs 193 g and is 8.26 mm thin, the screen reaches 650 nits in high brightness mode, and the 13MP main camera matches the C81. There is no 5G and no NFC. It ships with Android 15 and HyperOS.
The catch is memory: 3GB is tight for Android in 2026. ₹1,000 more buys the C81, with 4GB, a 6,300 mAh battery and Android 16, and ₹1,000 less buys the C75, with 5G.
