Verdict

The Poco C61 boasts a larger display, an attractive design, and a battery that can last up to two days. Its 6.71-inch IPS LCD display, while not top-tier, comes at a reasonable price and offers a decent 90Hz refresh rate for a smoother experience. Now, under the hood, it's powered by the MediaTek Helio G36 SoC. It's a budget chip, but it'll handle your everyday stuff just fine. It can even run games like BGMI and COD at lower settings, though it's not geared towards high-performance gaming. Its camera setup includes an 8MP rear camera and a 5MP selfie camera, providing decent picture quality. The real standout feature is its 5000mAh battery, offering impressive longevity. What really sets this phone apart is its inclusion of Android 14 out-of-the-box, offering users the latest software experience. With MIUI 14 providing extensive customization options and features like the MIUI dialer for call recording, it adds significant value to the package. For those looking for a wallet-friendly smartphone without compromising on essential features, the Poco C61 is a compelling option at the lowest end of the budget spectrum.
