Xiaomi has quietly introduced the Poco C81 Pro in overseas markets, positioning the new budget smartphone as a low-cost entry with basic specs and a very aggressive starting price of $64.
According to the source report, the phone runs on a Unisoc T7250 chip and comes with 4GB of RAM. Buyers can choose between 64GB, 128GB, and 256GB of storage, which gives the device a little more flexibility than you usually see at this end of the market.
Up front, the Poco C81 Pro uses a 6.9-inch IPS LCD display with a 1600 x 720 resolution, a 120Hz refresh rate, and brightness rated up to 650 nits. The panel uses a waterdrop-style notch and pairs with an 8MP front camera.
On the back, Xiaomi equips the phone with a 13MP main camera alongside an auxiliary sensor. Power comes from a 6000mAh battery with 15W wired charging, and the software side is based on Android 15 with HyperOS 3.
The rest of the feature list stays practical: there’s a 3.5mm headphone jack, Bluetooth 5.2, dual-band Wi-Fi, NFC support, and expandable storage through a TF card slot. Taken together, the Poco C81 Pro looks designed for buyers who care more about battery life and price than premium performance.
