POCO is set to launch two new budget 4G smartphones in India on April 23, the POCO C81 and POCO C81X. These devices will replace the POCO C71 and focus largely on battery life and basic day-to-day performance.
The POCO C81 will come with a 6300mAh battery, which is 20 percent larger than the 5200mAh unit used in the previous model. Even with the bigger battery, POCO says the phone keeps a similar slim design. The company also claims the battery can hold up to 80 percent of its capacity after 1000 charging cycles. There is also a cold endurance mode that is meant to keep the phone running smoothly in low temperature conditions.
Charging support includes 15W wired charging with a charger included in the box. The phone also supports 7.5W reverse wired charging, so it can charge other devices when needed. Based on official teasers, the device will feature a 13MP rear camera.
In terms of hardware, the C81 is expected to have a 6.9-inch HD+ LCD display with a 120Hz refresh rate. It is likely to run on the UNISOC T7250 chipset and ship with Android 16 along with Xiaomi HyperOS 3. The focus here is clearly on offering longer usage time for common tasks like messaging, social media, and video streaming.
The POCO C81X will be a slightly more basic version. It will have a 5200mAh battery, but it will still keep the same charging setup with 15W wired charging and 7.5W reverse charging. It is also rated for 80 percent battery health after 1000 charging cycles. Software-level optimizations for managing background apps are expected here as well.
Both phones will be available on Flipkart after launch. More details, including pricing, will be shared at the official announcement.
