The Poco C75: Official but Not Original
Poco has finally lifted the veil on the highly anticipated C75, and while it boasts impressive specifications for its price point, there’s a catch. Is this device truly original, or is it a case of deja vu? Let’s dive into the details and uncover the truth.
Display and Performance
The Poco C75 sports a massive 6.88-inch LCD display with a 720×1640 resolution, delivering crisp visuals. The highlight, however, is its 120Hz refresh rate and 240Hz touch sampling rate, ensuring smooth scrolling and responsive interactions. Under the hood, the device is powered by the MediaTek Helio G81-Ultra chipset, offering efficient performance for everyday tasks. It comes in two variants: 6GB of RAM with 128GB of storage or 8GB of RAM with 256GB of storage, ensuring fluid multitasking and ample space for apps and media.
Camera, Battery, and Extras
In the camera department, the Poco C75 features a 50MP primary lens on the rear, accompanied by a decorative auxiliary camera. Selfie enthusiasts will appreciate the 13MP front-facing camera. The device runs on the latest Android 14 with Poco’s HyperOS on top, offering a feature-rich and customizable user experience. A side-mounted fingerprint sensor doubles as a power button, providing secure and convenient unlocking. The C75 also includes a 3.5mm headphone jack and a massive 5,160mAh battery that supports 18W fast charging, although a charger is notably absent from the box.
Design and Pricing: Deja Vu?
Here’s where things get interesting. The Poco C75’s dimensions measure 171.88 x 77.8 x 8.22 mm, and it weighs in at 204g. These specs might sound familiar because the Poco C75 is essentially a rebranded Redmi 14C! That’s right; this device is a carbon copy of the Redmi 14C, which was released back in August. The only difference seems to be the branding and software experience. The Poco C75 is priced competitively at $109 for the 6GB/128GB variant and $129 for the 8GB/256GB version during the early bird sale, and it comes in black, gold, and green color options.
So, while the Poco C75 ticks all the right boxes on paper, its lack of originality might be a letdown for those seeking a truly unique device. Nevertheless, with its impressive specs and affordable price tag, the Poco C75 could still be a compelling option for budget-conscious consumers.
