CONCLUSION
The Poco C75 4G may not be among the fastest smartphones out there currently (not even among the fastest of the last 5 years or so if we're being honest - I didn't however encounter any issues while using it, for the most part the OS is stable and fast) but thanks to its very large 6.88" LCD screen, 6GB LPDDR4 RAM, 128GB flash memory, 50MP front camera and its massive 5160mAh battery it's a great choice for people on a tight budget who don't really care about raw performance. At the same time this means that if you want to play somewhat demanding games on the go the Poco C75 4G is obviously not for you. For surfing and watching videos on YouTube and TikTok the HD screen is extremely good and even though its 120Hz feature is not quite perfect it does work well overall. I did find it strange that Xiaomi didn't include a charger with the bundle but thanks to that I did use some of the fast chargers I have in the lab and with a 65W GaN III model going from 1% to the 80% recommended charging (for higher battery longevity - around 4400mAh) took around 1 and 1/2 hours which isn't great but again, not bad either. As for the camera it all comes down to cost and even though 50MP and 1080P@30fps video recording are not numbers that will swoop you off your feet for the price this phone retails for, they are good.
I’ve already mentioned prices a few times in this review but just how much does the Poco C75 4G (6GB/128GB) retail for? Well, it seems that you’re actually better off with the slightly better 8GB/256GB variant which currently retails for USD132.50 inside the USA (Amazon.com) and for 125Euros inside the EU (Amazon.de). This is why I’ve said over and over in this review that the Poco C75 4G is very good for the money and yes, it's a smartphone I can highly recommend to people with a tight budget.
