POCO India has launched its most affordable smartphone – the POCO C71 in India under its budget-friendly POCO C Series, priced at ₹6,499. Highlights include the segment’s largest display, sized at 6.88 inches with a 120 Hz refresh rate, a 5,200 mAh battery, premium Split Grid design, a 32 MP primary camera, clean Android experience, and more.
The POCO C71 is the entry-level budget smartphone featuring a large 6.88-inch HD+ display with a 120 Hz refresh rate, TÜV Rheinland certifications for low blue light and flicker-free viewing, and a Wet Touch Display that maintains responsive touch even in light rain or with wet hands.
The smartphone uses a Premium Split Grid Design with Flashy Camera Deco – the design is sleek with a flat frame and an eye-catching split-grid layout around the camera module, highlighted by a premium golden ring. It comes with IP52-rated splash and dust resistance, available in three colors – Power Black, Desert Gold, and Cool Blue.
The device is powered by the Unisoc T7250 octa-core SoC with up to 6 GB RAM and an additional 6 GB virtual RAM, making it 12 GB RAM in total. It packs a 5,200 mAh battery with support for 15W fast charging. It runs on Android 15 out of the box, with the company committing to 2 years of OS updates and 4 years of security updates.
The phone sports a dual camera setup of a 32 MP primary rear camera with a secondary lens, and an 8 MP selfie camera. It features a side-mounted fingerprint sensor, dual-band Wi-Fi, and a 3.5mm headphone jack.
