The POCO C71 has officially launched, and it is setting a new benchmark for budget smartphones in 2025. Packed with features that were once considered premium, the POCO C71 promises to deliver an exceptional user experience at an affordable price. From its impressive 120Hz display to the long-lasting 5,200mAh battery, the POCO C71 is a smartphone that stands out in its category. 

At the heart of the POCO C71 is the Unisoc T7250 Max SoC, a chip that offers reliable performance for daily tasks. Whether you’re browsing the web, streaming videos, or using apps, the Unisoc processor ensures smooth and responsive performance. The phone comes in two memory configurations: 4GB of RAM with 64GB of internal storage, or 6GB of RAM with 128GB of storage. You won’t need to worry about running out of space, either, as the POCO C71 supports expandable storage up to 2TB via a dedicated microSD card slot, making it perfect for users with lots of media.

One of the standout features of the POCO C71 is its 6.88-inch display, which offers a 120Hz refresh rate. This makes scrolling, gaming, and watching videos a much smoother experience compared to typical displays in this price range. The screen offers HD+ resolution with a peak brightness of 600 nits, ensuring that you can clearly view content even in bright outdoor settings. For those who use their phones in various conditions, the POCO C71 also includes wet touch support, making it reliable even when you’re using it with slightly damp hands.

For a budget smartphone, the POCO C71 offers a surprisingly capable camera setup. The rear camera features a 32MP primary sensor, capable of capturing clear, sharp, and vibrant photos. Whether you're taking landscape shots or close-ups, the camera delivers consistent results. In addition to the primary camera, the POCO C71 also has an auxiliary camera, giving users more flexibility in their photography. On the front, the 8MP selfie camera ensures you can capture high-quality self-portraits and enjoy video calls with ease.

Long-Lasting 5,200mAh Battery

A key highlight of the POCO C71 is its large 5,200mAh battery, which offers excellent battery life for an entire day of use. Whether you’re watching videos, playing games, or simply browsing social media, the POCO C71 is designed to keep up with your daily activities. Additionally, the phone supports 15W fast charging, so you can quickly top up the battery when needed.

With its sleek finish and modern look, the POCO C71 is a stylish option that doesn't break the bank. The phone is also built with durability in mind, featuring an IP52 rating for water and dust resistance. This means that the phone can handle everyday splashes and dust, adding an extra layer of protection.

Android 15: The Latest Software Experience

The POCO C71 runs on Android 15 out of the box, providing a clean and user-friendly interface. Users can expect a smooth software experience, with access to the latest features and security updates.
