GoSolo Verdict

The Poco C81x is a lean budget phone that prioritizes screen size and battery life over raw power, with a 6.88-inch 120Hz display and 5200mAh cell that should stretch to two full days with moderate use. At €90, it feels honest about what it is—a simple, large-screened device for calls, messaging, and streaming—rather than a false bargain trying to do everything.

Strengths · 4

5200mAh battery easily stretches to two days on moderate use, a rare advantage at this price
6.88-inch 120Hz display is large and smooth enough for streaming and social media scrolling
Dust and splash resistance plus dedicated microSD slot mean the phone can handle real-world wear
Side-mounted fingerprint sensor is fast and reliable, avoiding the slower in-display options on weak entry chips

Trade-offs · 3

Unisoc T7250 and Mali-G57 GPU struggle with any app beyond light browsing and video playback
720p resolution on a 6.88-inch screen looks soft; text and detail suffer compared to rivals at this price
15W charging is slow, taking 1.5–2 hours from empty—rivals often offer 30W or more
