POCO has officially introduced its latest budget smartphone, the POCO C85, in Pakistan, offering a compelling mix of performance, design, and affordability. Positioned as an entry-level device, the C85 brings several premium features to the table, including a high-refresh-rate display and a massive battery. The phone closely mirrors the Redmi 15C 4G, which launched earlier this month, but arrives under POCO’s branding with fresh color options and a slightly tweaked identity.
Design and Display
The POCO C85 features a 6.9-inch IPS LCD screen with a resolution of 720 x 1600 pixels and a smooth 120Hz refresh rate. It supports up to 810 nits peak brightness, making it suitable for outdoor use. The device includes a side-mounted fingerprint sensor, an IP64 rating for dust and splash protection, and retains the 3.5mm headphone jack. It weighs 205 grams and measures 171.56 x 79.47 x 7.99 mm. Buyers can choose from Black, Green, and Purple color variants.
Internals and Software
Powered by the MediaTek Helio G81 Ultra chipset, the POCO C85 is available in Pakistan with 8GB RAM and 256GB internal storage. It runs on Android 15, layered with HyperOS 2, Xiaomi’s latest custom interface, promising a refined user experience.
Camera Setup
The rear camera module includes a 50MP primary lens for everyday photography, accompanied by a secondary QVGA sensor that serves minimal practical use. On the front, the phone houses an 8MP selfie camera. Both front and rear cameras support 1080p video recording at 30 frames per second.
Battery and Pricing
One of the standout features of the POCO C85 is its 6,000mAh battery, which supports 33W fast wired charging and 10W reverse wired charging. This ensures extended usage and quick top-ups. In Pakistan, the device is priced at Rs. 37,799 for the 8GB + 256GB variant, making it a strong contender in the budget segment.
With its blend of modern design, solid internals, and long-lasting battery, the POCO C85 is poised to make waves in Pakistan’s entry-level smartphone market.
