The ZuPick verdict

3.2out of 5
ConsiderBest at camera, weakest at battery.

The POCO C65 is a balanced low-cost phone with a good main camera, smooth scrolling and ample storage. Its softer screen, moderate battery results and slower storage make it better for basic use than demanding apps or games.

Based on specs, expert reviews and owner discussions.
Performance3.0
An AnTuTu result of about 239,000 is suitable for communication, streaming and light apps. The 4 GB base version has modest multitasking ability, while eMMC storage can make loading feel slower.
Camera4.3
The 50 MP main camera combines autofocus with a bright f/1.8 lens, helping it deliver good outdoor detail and usable indoor photos. It records Full HD video, while the 8 MP front camera is suitable for video calls and casual selfies.
Display2.9
The 90 Hz refresh rate keeps movement smooth, while the large LCD is comfortable for video. Its 720x1650 resolution is less crisp, and 600-nit maximum brightness is adequate rather than outstanding.
Battery2.8
The 5000 mAh battery and 18W charging cover normal daily needs. Battery testing of 12 hours 15 minutes indicates acceptable endurance, though heavier users may need an evening top-up.
Value3.1
At ₹8,499, the phone offers a smooth 90 Hz screen, a strong main camera and generous storage. Slower eMMC storage and moderate charging keep the deal from standing out more strongly.

Pros & cons

What’s good
Strong Main Camera

The 50 MP autofocus camera with an f/1.8 lens can capture detailed outdoor photos and lets in more light indoors. Full HD video is suitable for everyday clips.

Smooth Everyday Screen

The large 6.74-inch screen refreshes at 90 Hz, making scrolling feel smoother than a basic 60 Hz display. Brightness reaches 600 nits for reasonable outdoor visibility.

Plenty Of Storage

The base version provides 128 GB for photos, videos and apps. A memory card can add up to 1 TB, which is useful for keeping offline entertainment.

Dependable Daily Speed

An AnTuTu result of about 239,000 indicates adequate speed for messaging, video and light apps. Buyers can choose 4 GB, 6 GB or 8 GB RAM depending on their multitasking needs.

What’s not
Screen Is Less Crisp

The 720x1650 screen is fine for video and reading, but small text and fine details look softer than on sharper screens.

Slower Storage Technology

eMMC storage makes app installation and loading slower. This becomes more noticeable when the phone is busy or nearly full.

Charging Takes Patience

The 5000 mAh battery supports everyday use, but 18W charging is only moderate. A 12-hour 15-minute battery test result suggests ordinary rather than exceptional endurance.
