POCO C71 launched in India: Entry-level smartphone starts from Rs. 6,499

POCO C71 launched in India: The POCO C71, which retails for an incredible price in India, is a move that is balanced to change expectations in the low-cost smartphone industry. 

By providing capabilities that are usually only seen in higher-end models, this gadget defies expectations about what buyers can expect at this price range. 

The POCO C71 becomes a strong choice for anyone looking for cutting-edge capabilities without breaking the bank as the distinction between low-cost and high-end features becomes increasingly hazy.

With its smooth 120Hz refresh rate, the POCO C71 has entered the low-cost market. This simply means that using the phone, playing games, or swiping through apps will all be considerably more seamless. 

Having 120Hz for Rs 6,499 is significant because other phones in this price bracket usually have 60Hz or, at most, 90Hz displays. The POCO C71 is unique just because of this. 

In addition, a 6.88-inch HD+ screen, 240 Hz touch sampling rate, and 600 nits of peak brightness mean that this phone might offer a good visual experience in affordable packaging.

There is more to the POCO C71 than just a fantastic screen. It has Android 15 pre-installed, which is remarkable because many low-cost devices still come with previous Android versions. This is a future-proof option with four years of security patches and two years of OS updates.

Next is Wet Touch technology, which enables customers to use the phone even when their hands are wet. It's encouraging to see this technology, which is often seen in rugged or high-end phones, making its way into less expensive models. Additionally, the phone is IP52-rated for resistance to dust and splashes.

The Unisoc T7250 chipset, which powers the phone, isn't the most potent processor available, but it should be sufficient for daily duties. It comes with 128GB of storage that can be expanded to 2TB by microSD and up to 6GB of RAM (with virtual RAM expansion up to 12GB). That's more than enough at this price.

It has two cameras: an 8-megapixel selfie camera and a 32-megapixel dual-rear camera. Although cameras on low-cost phones aren't very well-known, POCO's tuning could help in this case.

A full day should be easily covered by the 5,200mAh battery. However, 15W charging is a little slower. 

Again, given the price, there isn't much to be unhappy with. For a phone on this budget, its connectivity features include 4G, dual-band Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 5.2, a 3.5mm headphone socket, and a USB-C connector.

It is available in three colors: gold, blue, and black. The smartphone is available on the Flipkart and official website.
