POCO has added the C81 to its C-series for those who are on a tight budget.
The POCO C81 is powered by a UNISOC T7250 octa-core processor, with only 4GB LPDDR4X RAM and 64GB of internal storage, which is thankfully expandable by up to 2TB via a microSD card.
You also get a 6.9-inch HD+ IPS display with a 120Hz refresh rate. An 8-megapixel selfie camera is on the top, while the 13-megapixel main camera is on the back.
It then has a 6,300mAh battery with 15W wired and 7.5W reverse wired charging. The best part is, despite its affordable price, Xiaomi pledged it will receive 4 OS upgrades and 6 years of security patches.
The POCO C81 will be available in India starting April 27 for INR10,999 (~Php7,100). Release details in the Philippines are yet to be announced.
