The Poco C85x 5G is an entry-level 5G phone from Poco, Xiaomi’s sub-brand, launched in India on March 10, 2026. It has a 6.9-inch HD+ LCD at 120Hz, a Unisoc T8300 chip, 4GB of RAM, and 64GB or 128GB of UFS 2.2 storage, with a microSD slot for more. The back is plastic. The body is 8.15 mm thick, weighs 210 g and carries an IP52 rating. It follows the C85 from December 2025, and the main change is the chip: a 6nm Unisoc replaces the MediaTek Dimensity 6300. Android 16 with HyperOS comes preinstalled.

The battery is rated at 6300mAh, and Poco has not published a usable figure. Charging is 15W wired, the charger is in the box, and the phone can also reverse charge other devices at 7.5W. Poco claims over 35 hours of video, 14 hours of gaming and over 20 hours of social media on a charge, and says the battery holds 80% health after 1,000 cycles. The C85 has a smaller 6000mAh cell but charges at 33W, so the C85x takes longer to fill.

The 4GB + 64GB model launched at Rs 10,999 and the 4GB + 128GB at Rs 11,999. Retail listings later showed ₹13,000 to ₹14,200, and I found no official international price. It suits someone who wants a large screen and a battery that lasts, mostly for messaging, streaming and social apps. Gaming is not what it’s for. Within Poco, the C75 5G (launch price ₹7,999) is cheaper, the C85 5G (₹11,999) is nearly the same price, and the M7 Plus 5G costs more than either. Among other brands, the realme P4 Lite 5G and Samsung Galaxy F70e 5G are the rivals to check. The Redmi 15C 5G is the closest direct match.
