KKN Gurugram Desk | POCO India has officially launched its latest entry-level champion – the POCO C71, and it’s already creating buzz in the Indian smartphone market. Priced at just ₹6,499, this budget smartphone offers features that punch way above its price bracket, including a 120Hz HD+ display, a massive 5,200mAh battery, and the latest Android 15-based HyperOS 2.

With such specifications, POCO C71 seems geared toward budget-conscious users who don’t want to compromise on core essentials like display quality, performance, battery life, and software longevity.

Display: The Highlight in Budget Segment

In an era where most budget smartphones still offer basic 60Hz refresh rates, POCO C71 breaks the mold by introducing a 6.88-inch HD+ display with a 120Hz adaptive refresh rate — something rarely seen at this price.

The adaptive refresh rate means the phone intelligently switches between refresh rates depending on your activity, saving battery when not needed and providing smoothness when it is — like in gaming or scrolling.

With 600 nits peak brightness and TÜV Rheinland Low Blue Light certification, this display ensures minimal eye strain, even during extended viewing. It’s also flicker-free, making it great for long study sessions, social media scrolling, or video watching.

Battery & Charging: All-Day Power

The 5,200mAh battery ensures that you can easily get through a full day — or even two — on a single charge. This makes the POCO C71 a reliable choice for students, daily commuters, or casual users who want a dependable device.

It supports 15W wired charging, which, while not the fastest, is fairly reasonable at this price point.

Camera: Decent Shooters in the Budget Zone

The POCO C71 brings a 32MP rear camera, which is a surprise in the sub-₹7,000 segment. Most competitors still ship with 13MP or even 8MP sensors.

On the front, there’s a standard 8MP selfie camera, ideal for video calls, selfies, and social media stories.

You won’t get flagship-level photography here, but for the price, the output is acceptable in daylight and social media-ready.

Performance & Software: Unisoc T7250 with Android 15

Under the hood, the device is powered by the Unisoc T7250 chipset, a power-efficient SoC designed for daily tasks like browsing, streaming, and multitasking.

The real star here, though, is the software. The POCO C71 runs on Android 15-based HyperOS 2, making it one of the first budget phones in India to ship with Android 15 out-of-the-box.

What’s more, POCO is committing to two OS updates, ensuring that the phone stays relevant for at least 2–3 years — an unusual promise in this price segment.

Design, Build & Security

Despite being a budget phone, the POCO C71 includes:

  • IP52 rating for dust and splash resistance

  • Side-mounted fingerprint sensor

  • 3.5mm headphone jack

  • A durable polycarbonate back with a matte finish

The phone is available in three bold coloursDesert Gold, Cool Blue, and Power Black, making it visually appealing.

POCO C71 Pricing & Variants

VariantPrice
4GB + 64GB₹6,499
6GB + 128GB₹7,499

Both variants support expandable storage up to 2TB, giving you room to store photos, videos, and apps without worry.

Availability: The POCO C71 will go on sale from April 8 and will be available exclusively on Flipkart.

While POCO C71 may lag in camera when compared to Narzo N53, it wins on OS, battery, refresh rate, and price.

Target Audience: Who is it for?

The POCO C71 is crafted for:

  • First-time smartphone users

  • Students looking for online learning

  • Elderly people needing a large screen

  • Casual users focused on YouTube, WhatsApp, and light gaming

Its balance of modern features with essential reliability makes it a strong contender under ₹7,000.

With the launch of the POCO C71, the brand is redefining what entry-level smartphones can offer. The combination of Android 15, 120Hz display, 5200mAh battery, and a decent 32MP camera — all under ₹7,500 — is nothing short of impressive.
