There has always been a demand for big but affordable phones. Hence, POCO keeps on releasing one. Now, they have the POCO C81 Pro as an addition to their lineup.
The POCO C81 Pro boasts a big 6.9-inch IPS display with a high 120Hz refresh rate, but only with an HD+ resolution. It has an 800-nit peak brightness and has a Sunlight Mode for outdoor visibility.
Plus, it received TUV Rheinland certification for its Low Blue Light emission, for being Circadian Friendly, and Flicker-Free.
It also has Wet Touch Technology 2.0, allowing you to still operate the screen if you have wet, soapy, or oily fingers.
Together with the big display is the generous 6,000mAh battery that Xiaomi claims can last for up to 2.37 days of use, 19+ hours of video playback, and 46+ hours of calls. It can also retain a healthy battery even after 1,000 charging cycles.
The C81 Pro is powered by a UNISOC T7250 octa-core processor, with 4GB of RAM, and 256GB of expandable storage. It ships with Android 16-based HyperOS 3. Xiaomi said that the device will have a “like-new software experience” even after 48 months.
On the back, we have a 13-megapixel main camera and an 8-megapixel camera on the front for selfies.
It also has a side-mounted fingerprint scanner, a 3.5mm headphone jack, and 200% volume boost.
The POCO C81 Pro 4GB/64GB retails for USD99 (~Php6,100), 4GB/128GB for USD109 (~Php6,700), and the 4GB/256GB for USD129 (~Php7,900). Release details in the Philippines were not mentioned.
