Poco, a brand known for making affordable smartphones under the Xiaomi family, just launched its newest entry-level device. It’s called the C85, and it looks pretty sleek. This phone aims to handle everyday tasks without a hitch.
The Poco C85 boasts a large 6.9-inch screen. This display offers a smooth experience with AdaptiveSync, which can change its refresh rate up to 120 Hz depending on what you’re doing. To help your eyes, it meets TÜV Rheinland standards. This means it reduces blue light and stops screen flickering, making long viewing sessions more comfortable.
When it comes to cameras, the C85 has an 8-megapixel front camera. It sits in a small U-shaped cutout on the screen. Around the back, you’ll find a main camera with 50 megapixels. This main camera also uses AI features to help take clearer photos.
Under the hood, the Poco C85 uses a MediaTek Helio G81 Ultra chipset. This chip came out in 2020 and is made with 12-nanometer tech. It can run at speeds up to 2.0 GHz. The phone comes with either 6 GB or 8 GB of RAM. You can even add another 8 GB of virtual RAM for extra power. For storing your files, it offers 128 GB or 256 GB of space.
One big highlight of the C85 is its large 6,000 mAh battery. This powerhouse can play music for up to 82 hours straight. It also supports 33W fast charging, so you can power up quickly. Plus, its Battery Health 3.0 technology helps keep the battery working well for longer. You can even use the C85 to charge other devices at 10W.
The phone itself is quite thin, measuring just 7.9 mm. It also has an IP64 rating, which means it’s protected from dust and water splashes from any direction. You can pick up the C85 in three colors: green, purple, and black.
For those interested in picking one up, the Poco C85 has an early bird price that makes it even more appealing:
- The model with 6 GB RAM and 128 GB storage costs $109.
- The version with 8 GB RAM and 512 GB storage is priced at $129.
