Are you in the market for a big-screen mobile device for under Php10,000? Check out the new POCO Pad C1, which is now in the Philippines.
The POCO Pad C1 features a 9.7-inch IPS display with a 2K resolution and 600-nit peak brightness under outdoor mode. It also has a high 120Hz refresh rate. Quite decent for the price. There are two speakers in a stereo setup.
Powering the device is a 2.9GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon 6s Gen 2 processor, with an option between 4GB and 6GB of LPDDR4X RAM and 64GB or 128GB of UFS 2.2 internal storage. A microSD card slot lets you add up to 2TB of storage.
Keeping the lights on is a decent 7,600mAh battery, which POCO said can last for up to 1.7 days of use, or over 15 hours of video streaming, 18 hours of audio playback, and over 16 hours of online reading.
A 5-megapixel selfie camera is on the front, while the rear has an 8-megapixel sensor.
It ships with HyperOS 3, which is based on Android 16. Plus, you can share clipboards with smartphones and even notifications. You can also get it with a tri-fold protective case that doubles as a stand.
The POCO Pad C1 is now available, and until June 15, 2026, you can get the 4GB/64GB with an early-bird price of Php8,499, while the Shopee-exclusive 6GB/128GB can be yours for only Php9,999. They have an SRP of Php8,999 and Php10,999, respectively.
