We have the new Poco C65 for review so let’s do an unboxing. The phone comes in a modest package with just a USB cable and a 10W charger. There’s no bundled case, and if you want to maximize the C65’s charging potential, you’ll need to get an 18W charger.
There are good reasons for retail cutbacks. The Poco C65 costs just $129 and $149 for the 6/128GB and 8/256GB models (early bird prices are $109/$129). And for that little price, you’re getting a lot of phones, figuratively and literally – the Poco C65 feels big.
It’s wide and tall and weighs around 200 grams, but it justifies it with a large display and 5,000mAh battery.
The 6.74-inch IPS LCD has a maximum refresh rate of 90Hz. The panel is bright enough, but the 720x1600px resolution is stretched thin on such a large panel.
Then there’s the 12nm Helio G85 chipset – the same 12nm offering as the Helio G88 inside the Poco C55. It’s not the fastest or most efficient chip around, and we’ll pay extra attention to the C65’s battery life and performance in our full review. Stay tuned for that!
