Poco has launched a new budget-friendly smartphone in India — the Poco C71 — and it brings some impressive features for its price. From the largest display in its segment to a solid camera setup and a long-lasting battery, this phone is aimed at users who want style, performance, and value. Let’s take a closer look at what the Poco C71 has to offer.
Display
One of the main highlights of the Poco C71 is its massive 6.88-inch HD+ display, which the company claims is the largest in its price category. The screen supports a 120Hz refresh rate for smoother animations and scrolling, along with a 240Hz touch sampling rate for better touch responsiveness — something that’s great for casual gamers and social media users.
The display reaches a peak brightness of 600nits and is certified by TÜV Rheinland for low blue light, flicker-free visuals, and circadian-friendly performance. It also supports wet touch input, allowing you to use the screen even with wet fingers — a thoughtful touch, especially in monsoon season.
Performance
Under the hood, the Poco C71 runs on an octa-core Unisoc T7250 chipset. It’s paired with up to 6GB of RAM and 128GB of internal storage. There’s also support for virtual RAM expansion up to 12GB and storage expansion via microSD card up to 2TB.
It comes preloaded with Android 15 and promises two years of Android OS updates and four years of security patches. That kind of long-term software support is a nice bonus for a phone in this range.
Camera
The Poco C71 sports a dual rear camera setup led by a 32-megapixel main sensor. That’s quite a bump for this price segment. On the front, there’s an 8-megapixel camera for selfies and video calls.
The rear camera module features a golden ring design, giving the phone a unique look. The back panel itself has a dual-tone, split-grid layout, which adds to the visual appeal without looking overdone.
Battery
Powering the Poco C71 is a 5,200mAh battery that supports 15W wired charging via a USB Type-C port. It should easily last a full day of usage for most users, and even into the second day with moderate use.
Design and Build
The phone comes with an IP52 rating for resistance against dust and light splashes. For added security, there’s a side-mounted fingerprint scanner. Despite its large screen and battery, the phone keeps things reasonably light at 193g and is 8.26mm thick.
Color options include Cool Blue, Desert Gold, and Power Black — all of which look sleek and modern.
Pricing and Offers
Poco C71 is priced at Rs. 6,499 for the 4GB + 64GB model, while the 6GB + 128GB version comes in at Rs. 7,499. The first sale is scheduled for April 8, and it will be available through Flipkart.
Airtel prepaid users get an extra benefit — they can buy the phone for as low as Rs. 5,999 and will also receive an additional 50GB of data. This offer goes live at 12pm IST on April 10.
Poco C71 is a solid choice for users who want a large display, modern design, decent cameras, and long battery life — all at a budget price. It also adds thoughtful features like wet touch support and long-term Android updates, making it a great value buy in the entry-level segment.
