The ZuPick verdict

2.8out of 5
SkipBest at value, weakest at camera.

The Poco C61 Mystical gets the basics right with a smooth display, dependable battery life and practical everyday features. It is best for light use, while the camera and slower storage keep it from being a stronger pick.

Based on specs, expert reviews and owner discussions.
Performance3.0
With 4 GB RAM and 4G support, it is suited to calling, chat, video and light apps. eMMC storage makes installs and app loading slower, so heavier multitasking will feel limited.
Camera2.1
This is a basic camera setup. The 8 MP main camera with autofocus is usable in good light, and 1080p video is enough for simple clips, but detail and low-light results will be modest.
Display3.0
The 6.71-inch LCD with 90 Hz refresh rate feels smooth for everyday use, and 500 nits is decent for indoor use and general outdoor visibility. The 720x1650 screen is fine for video and reading, though text is less crisp than sharper screens.
Battery2.9
The 5000 mAh battery is standard for this price and the tested battery life of about 15 hours is solid for a full day. Charging is on the slower side, so top-ups take patience.
Value3.2
At ₹7499, it sits in a strong value zone for buyers who want a large screen, smooth scrolling and dependable battery life. It makes sense if your needs are simple and practical.

Pros & cons

What’s good
Smooth 90 Hz display

The 90 Hz screen makes scrolling feel smoother than a basic 60 Hz panel. For messaging, social apps and casual browsing, day-to-day use feels nicer.

Reliable all-day battery

The 5000 mAh battery and tested battery life of about 15 hours mean it should comfortably last a full day for calls, chat, video and light apps.

Useful software support

It comes with Android 14, plus 2 years of OS updates and 3 years of security updates. That is reassuring for a budget phone you want to keep for a while.

Practical everyday extras

You get a side fingerprint sensor, 3.5 mm headphone jack and expandable storage up to 1 TB. These are genuinely useful for daily convenience.

What’s not
Weak camera setup

The 8 MP main camera is basic for this price. It can handle simple daylight shots, but detail and indoor results will be limited.

Slow app loading

eMMC storage makes installs and app loading slower. The phone is fine for light use, but it will not feel quick when switching between many apps.

Slow charging speed

A full top-up takes around 2 hours 26 minutes from 20% to 100%. That is workable overnight or at your desk, but not ideal if you need quick top-ups.
