The rupee budget is not considered ideal for a good smartphone in 2025. More than that, when some phone calls from HMD or popular Android powered ovarphones, Kate S22 flip costs more. However, a set of smartphone manufacturers believes that there are buyers with a really tough budget that want to upgrade the buttons features to their first smartphone. And for these buyers, Poco C71 can be the best fit.
Poko C 71 Design
Where it is obligatory, Poko tries to glamorize the entry level segment by giving a dual tone design to C71. It is not as loud or loud as the design of the Poko C75, but it is like that.
The back panel has a very art deco -web with a sample of straight flowing lines that overlaps each other, in which almost half of the back panel is taken. A capsule -shaped camera island, which has two cameras, has increased its polished gold in the glamor with the completion of its polished gold.
The Poko C71 has a good theme of art deco in the back section, and it also manages the basic IP52 rating for dust and water.
The cool blue end we received to review is a frame and back panel made from the polycarbonate. The sides of the frame are flat and it ends the fade, just as this large phone is very slippery.
The one who got my attention was the lack of firing speaker below. Surprisingly, it is placed at the top, and I believe it is the same speaker that doubles like airpace or other paths.

POCO C71 The recipient of the speaker doubles the status of his primary speaker
At 193 grams, the phone feels a bit heavy. It is a little bigger to use one hand. However, it is good to know that the design is the IP52 rating that is for both dust and water. In view of the phone’s entry level price, this is quite basic but legitimate.
Flip over the phone, and you will see a large and flat 6.8 -inch HD+ LCD display with a 120hz screen refresh rate. There are thick borders all around, especially in the bottom and top water drops. Because of this, with the nature of his fraud, it is quite clear that Poko C71 is related to the surface of the entrance.
Poko C 71 Performance
Continuing its display, the screen refresh rate battery saving has been set as a default on 60 hz. There are only two settings to choose, so I selected 120 HHz for smooth visuals, because the Stripid Downty Hypers Software interface, which is running by Android 15 (GO Edition), makes up the uproar and remains a bit behind. You can definitely spend a few thousand more and get more and more software in the future.

Poko’s C -71 is powered by the Android 15GD edition, a highly carved version of Xiaomi’s hyperose.
Poko’s website claims that the phone covers a light sensor, but that doesn’t happen. It uses a front -facing camera to peek into your surroundings and determines the surface of the brightness required to deal with it.
Although it looks like a cool “jugded”, the phone only examines the acne light using the camera when it is open and sets the necessary levels of shine. If you suddenly go out of the shadow of the tree and in the bright sunlight, it will not re -apply until you close the screen and re -unlock the phone.

The display of Poco C71 is not too bright outside, and when you look at the direct sunlight, you will need to square the display. Inside the house, the viewing angles are decent because when the surface of the brightness sees it away.
The texts and icons look sharp, which is surprising in view of the low screen resolution, which is spread over a large display. The colors are also not bad, with the display as well as the display (or natural tone) is default. The phone only supports the Widwine L3 DRM, which means it will only be playback content in the standard definition (SD) in OTT apps. This means that video streaming apps like Netflix OTT apps and even video streaming apps like YouTube will look soft and not as crission as on the budget’s smartphone.
As the basics, a fingerprint reader embeds into the power button, and it works well. Someone can store 5 prints which is good. There are two slots for nano SIM cards and a dedicated slot for expanding storage (microSD card up to 1tb). A 3.5mm headphone jack is also available, which is essential for the built -in radio app.

Display of Poko C71, in addition to its thick borders, is also a water drop mark
The quality of the call is decent, but the call volume could be higher because I often find the caller a little soft. The volume of the speaker is a bit soft when calling, and even when watching the videos, it is not high enough. When the phone plays horizontally and playing, the speaker is also accidentally blocked.
The phone has a UNISOC T7250 chip set and therefore my expectations about its performance were not high, even consider the price of its admission level. The processor app is able to handle launching and basic software navigation. However, it has a tendency to struggle to withdraw the apps from memory, so be prepared to restart the app repeatedly.

Given the faulty CPU and the GPU score shown in the aforementioned table, I still managed to play Asphalt 8: Air Bourne. My surprise is that the game was worth the game on the default settings, but with a random example of many frames and breaks. Most high -end games were not available for download from the Play Store.

POCO C71 has only a user -accessable Rear Facebook camera
Poko C71 has a single 32 megapixel camera, called the Poko Double Camera Setup. When combined with the other camera, it acts as a depth sensor used for portraits. Selfies are handled by an 8 megapixel camera.

Poko C 71 primary camera samples (tap images images of expansion)
Primary camera occupies capable photos in less detail in daylight. The colors are slightly sealed, and the dynamic range is slightly limited, despite changing the feature of the auto HDR, the camera is struggling to expose the sky. Bund camera samples lack considerable detail and sophistication, mostly in the samples show textures that look like oil paintings. Close -ups of items are clearly explicit, but when you look pixels, they are still less in detail.

Portrait photo (above) has a more background from the back camera. Even the edges of this topic have cut highlights. The same thing applies to selfie portrait photos (below), which shows the soft detail of the face. (Tap images for extension)

Low light pictures of the primary camera are exposed to less detail and dynamic range and there are a lot of noise.
The video recording is at a maximum of 1080p 30 FPS. The footage packs in very little detail and has a lot of frozen, especially when the camera walks or pans. In low light, the recorded videos are barely useful because more image quality dips with more noise. The camera takes its own sweet time to focus even in bright situations with bright streets.

Poko C71’s 5,200mAh battery capacity seems too high, but with heavy use stays barely for a day
Battery life continues easily with heavy use. Comfortable users who do not have too much calls or do not limit the use of the app will look a little longer than a day, but nothing more and this is mainly up to the use of 12nm UNISOC chip set. Our HD video loop test lasted for 14 hours and 32 minutes, which is slightly less until budget smartphones. Xiaomi’s own Redmi A4 5G lasted better for 19 hours and 32 minutes, which runs an HD video on the loop to a completely stream of the battery. Charging the 5,200mAh battery is also very slow, with this device managing full charge in 2 hours and 21 minutes using the bundle 15W charger.
Poko C 71 Decision
Entry level smartphone class has not yet been fully stored with choice, indicating that interest in this category has only begun to choose this year. Poko’s C71, RS. 6,499, packs everything under the sun for the basic admission surface smartphone. This is just an additional RS. 1,000, you can get a 5G finished device with better specifications and maximum software in the future, provided the C71 is running a basic GO edition version of Android 15.
Poco C75 5G (now from Rs 7,699) is a solid contender, though it was previously launched. We have not reviewed the C75, but we have reviewed the Redmi A4 5G (now from Rs 7,999). Which is the same in terms of hardware. Both phones will need to be transported to the Reliance’s JIO network as they only support the 5G band provided by this operator.
Another solid option is Motorola’s G35 5G, which offers a better performing hardware than the aforementioned phone. RS on price. 9,999, it will go beyond your entry level budget, but you get a much better wagon leather design and nearly stock Android software with Hello UI.
If you just can’t afford to raise your budget more than Rs. 7,000, occupy the 6GB of RAM version of Poko C 71, which is available with 128GB storage. Instead of 6,999.
