A brief appearance on the official website has allowed us to learn what the new budget POCO smartphone looks like and what it will offer. It turns out that the same device is already available for purchase in Poland!
It seems that the POCO C81 Pro product page saw the light of day prematurely - the new phone quickly disappeared from the manufacturer's official website in China, but Mundo Xiaomi Mundo Xiaomi managed to obtain its data and renders. The POCO C81 Pro has a quite interesting-looking two-tone casing in three color variants, but the selfie camera in the drip notch betrays its budget nature. POCO C81 Pro basically has one strong point - a 6000 mAh battery, albeit with significantly less powerful 15W charging. Another interesting element is the large 6.9-inch LCD display with a 120 Hz refresh rate, although unfortunately its resolution is only HD+. Its Unisoc T7250 processor is also modest, accompanied by 4 GB of LPDDR4X RAM, up to 256 GB of UFS 2.2 internal memory (there are also 64 and 128 GB variants), as well as a 13 Mpx main camera and an 8 Mpx front-facing selfie camera. HyperOS 3 based on Android 16 will serve as the interface, and NFC, dual SIM and microSD card slots, and a 3.5mm headphone jack are likely advantages.
POCO smartphones are typically global variants of devices that can be purchased in China with the Redmi logo. This case is a bit different – the POCO C81 has only appeared on the manufacturer's Chinese website so far, but the leaked renders and specifications show it to be a clone of the Redmi A7 Pro 4G, which was launched in Polish stores in early April.
