Poco C71

The Poco C71 has an IP52-rated design with a frame and rear panel made from polycarbonate. There’s a flat display on the front, but it has really thick borders and a waterdrop notch.

Its display works fine indoors but has poor viewing angles. Outdoors it cannot tackle direct sunlight. The entry-level processor is not exactly slow, but is just about capable of handling the Go Edition Android software.

The primary camera isn’t good both in daylight and in low light. Selfies offer decent quality and video quality is a bit sub-par even considering the phone’s price tag. Call quality is good but the speaker is a bit too soft both for calls and for content consumption.

Battery life lasts a day on a single charge, which is mainly due to the inefficient chipset. Charging too is very slow, taking well over two hours to charge up the phone.
