NeoTeo's verdict

Which of the two is the better buy

The Xiaomi Poco M7 Plus is the more complete choice for display and connectivity: it brings 1080p, 144 Hz, and 5G, versus 720p, 120 Hz, and 4G on the Xiaomi Poco C85 4G. Its overall lead is narrow, so the C85 4G still makes sense for buyers who value lower weight and more storage.

The M7 Plus delivers more detail and smoothness: 1,080 × 2,340 pixels and 374 ppi versus 720 × 1,600 pixels and 254 ppi, plus 144 Hz versus 120 Hz. It also reaches 850 nits versus 810 nits, although both are below average for peak brightness. For performance, the M7 Plus’s UFS 2.2 storage is a stronger choice than the C85 4G’s eMMC 5.1.

The M7 Plus has a 7,000 mAh battery against 6,000 mAh in the C85 4G, while both support 33 W charging and reverse charging. The C85 4G counters with 256 GB versus 128 GB, Bluetooth 5.4 versus 5.1, and a body weighing 205 g and measuring 8 mm thick, compared with 217 g and 8.4 mm. The choice is between a better display and network package or a lighter phone with more storage.
