Critic consensus
“There is no perfect phone — or rather a phone without compromises in the budget segment. And when it comes to segment under Rs 10,000, there is absolutely no one that is going to give to users everything. There are compromises. With the Poco C65 too there are compromises.”
“It’s got decent specs, enough to even run Genshin, and a decent camera, all for a very affordable price.”
“The POCO C65 delivers what you’d expect in its price range. The battery life and camera performance stand out, offering value for money. However, the device has its drawbacks, notably the MIUI software and limitations in screen brightness and viewing angles. If you’re considering alternatives in this price bracket, check out our video featuring the team’s top picks. The POCO C65 might not be perfect, but it certainly holds its own in the competitive landscape of budget smartphones.”
“The POCO C65 is a no-frills 4G smartphone, best suited for entry-level users. It offers a tall display, which is good for reading and watching content on YouTube. The battery backup is equally solid, and I am happy with the Type-C charging port. While the box includes a charger, you may want to spend a little extra on a more capable charger to enjoy faster charging.”
