Poco and Redmi are two sub-brands from Xiaomi that cater to the non-premium segment, offering value-for-money handsets with a good amount of features at an affordable price point. The newest addition to aid in the company's ambitions is the new Poco M8 5G. We recently reviewed the Redmi Note 15 5G, which has remarkably similar internals to the aforementioned handset, and found it to be great for everyday use, rather than a flashy upgrade.

Poco F-series has always been known for providing flagship-grade features and specifications in the mid-range segment. We offer multiple models in this series that provide excellent value-for-money propositions to customers, particularly gamers. Now, the brand is back with its next-generation flagship model, the Poco F7. The latest handset from the brand comes equipped with the latest Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 processor, packs a massive 7,550mAh battery, and offers a premium design.

A budget of Rs. 6,499 is not considered ideal for a decent smartphone in 2025. More so, when some feature phones from HMD or the popular Android-powered dumbphone, the Cat S22 Flip costs more. However, a set of smartphone manufacturers believes that there are buyers out there with really tight budgets who want to upgrade from a feature phone with buttons to their first smartphone. And for these buyers, the Poco C71 may be the perfect fit.
