Expert Review Summary
Expert Rating:
7.6/10
7.6/10
- Pros
- Decent display
- Solid battery backup
- Port selection
- Good primary camera
- Cons
- Loads of pre-installed apps
- Slow charging
- Verdict
The POCO C65 is a decent option for entry-level smartphone users. Whether for watching videos on YouTube or using WhatsApp, the phone can handle these tasks with negligible stutters. Its new 256GB storage option will excite some customers, but I do feel that this variant is an overkill for the segment. If you have a budget of Rs 10,000, the POCO M6 5G is a better choice with a more powerful chipset and 5G support.
