“The Poco C85 is a solid budget smartphone that delivers where it matters most. Its large 6.9-inch display, reliable battery life, and decent performance make it a good option in the under Rs 20,000 category. While it has limitations in multitasking and prolonged gaming, it makes up for them with practicality and endurance. If you’re looking for a big-screen phone with excellent battery life at a budget price, the Poco C85 is worth considering.”
“After weeks of testing, it's clear that the Poco C85 isn't very high on value. It delivers the basics, but its underpowered chipset and bloated software will leave users wanting more in everyday performance, even if it's their first smartphone. What will hit the sweet spot for those on tight budgets is its battery life and large display. And for this select group of users willing to sacrifice basic usability for better battery life, the Poco C85 will surprisingly make sense. For everyone else, you are indeed better off spending a bit more and getting a more capable device.”
