On Monday, the Xiaomi sub-brand revealed that the Poco C81 and Poco C81x will be launched in India on April 23 at 12 pm IST. A dedicated microsite for the unveiling of the two phones is now live on Flipkart, confirming their availability in the country via the e-commerce website. On top of this, the microsite confirms that the Poco C81x will be sold in India in at least a black colour option, while the standard model will be available for purchase in at least a blue colourway.

The Poco C81 is confirmed to be equipped with a 6,300mAh battery. On the other hand, the Poco C81x will be backed by a 5,200mAh battery.

The company also claims that the Poco C81 will offer more than 23 hours of video playback on YouTube and over 4 days of music playback.

Meanwhile, the Poco C81x is claimed to offer more than 15 hours of streaming on YouTube and over 3.75 days of music playback. Both phones will support 4G LTE for cellular connectivity.

In terms of design, the Poco C81 is shown to feature a flat dual-tone rear panel, featuring a pill-shaped module in the top-left corner. It will feature a dual rear camera setup, led by a 13-megapixel main shooter. It will also feature a flat frame, with the power button and volume controls placed on the right side, while the left side could be left clean.

The Poco C81x, on the other hand, appears to be similarly designed. However, there are a few subtle differences between the two phones. It is shown to feature a flat single-tone rear panel, with a pill-shaped camera island placed in the top-left corner. While the phone is shown to feature two camera lenses, it will only feature a single camera system, paired with an LED flash. Meanwhile, the Poco branding appears in the bottom-left corner. The physical buttons will be placed in the same orientation as the standard model.
