POCO has unveiled the details of its latest entry-level device, the POCO C65, which includes its official price in the Philippines.
A follow-up to the C55, the POCO C65 now has a high 90Hz refresh rate, albeit still uses a similar 6.74-inch HD+ display with 600 nits of peak brightness.
There’s an 8-megapixel selfie camera on top of the screen, an improvement over its predecessor’s 5-megapixel shooter.
We also have a better secondary rear camera with the 2-megapixel macro shooter, albeit the main camera is still a 50-megapixel sensor. Also not changed is the MediaTek Helio G85 processor and the 5,000mAh battery, albeit the charging speed is now faster at 18W.
It also finally says goodbye to microUSB and jumps to the more modern USB-C standard. POCO has also increased the RAM and storage configurations, which you can now get with up to 8GB/256GB.
The POCO C65 has a price of Php4,999 for the 6GB/128GB and Php5,999 for the 8GB/256GB. It will launch in the Philippines on November 7 and should be available shortly after.
