Editorial report

Xiaomi Poco C81 technical sheet

The Poco C81 suits buyers seeking a large Android phone, a high-capacity battery and essential features. Its main trade-off is the combination of modest performance, limited internal storage and a basic camera: this 4 GB / 64 GB configuration is not aimed at demanding workloads.

Its 6.9″ IPS LCD display runs at 120 Hz, a typical refresh rate for phones of its time, but 254 ppi is among the weakest densities and 800 nits is lower than what most phones of its time offer. The Unisoc Tiger T615 (T7250), 4 GB of RAM and eMMC 5.1 storage place performance among the weakest of its time. Expandable storage helps offset the 64 GB internal capacity.

The 13 MP rear camera is among the weakest of its time and has no optical image stabilization. Connectivity is worse than most phones of its time, although the phone includes 4G LTE, Wi-Fi 5, Bluetooth 5.2, USB Type-C, dual SIM and several navigation systems. Android 16 and four years of update support give the software a longer supported lifespan.

The Poco C81 earns a NeoScore of 4.1 and sits among the weakest phones of its time. It is better suited to calls, messaging, browsing and video than demanding games, heavy multitasking or advanced photography.
