Reviews for the Xiaomi Poco C55

POCO C55 Review
Source: Mobygyaan English
The POCO C55 is a good performer, the MediaTek Helio G85 performs fairly well in the segment. The smartphone comes in 6 GB RAM and 128 GB storage variant which is a good deal at this price (₹10,999). Moreover, the leather-like design, 50 MP camera, and MIUI perks add to the overall value. The micro USB port might be a letdown for some users and the 10W charging speed. The POCO C55 is overall a good value for money and a good performer for users who are looking for a smartphone under ₹10,000 budget.

70% POCO C55 review: a budget phone that ticks most boxes
Source: 91mobiles English
At the time of writing this review, the POCO C55 was selling at Rs 8,999, which was the introductory price of the phone’s 4GB RAM variant. The handset otherwise costs Rs 9,499, while its 6GB RAM option is available with Rs 10,999 sticker price. I can’t vouch for the handset’s 6GB RAM variant since you can get a much better device for the price, such as the stock-Android Moto G32 smartphone, which is now selling at Rs 10,499. But the 4GB RAM variant feels just about right. Not many smartphones in the segment come close to the POCO in terms of performance, cameras, and battery life. So if you are tight on budget and not looking to spend anything more than Rs 9,000-9,500 on a smartphone, the POCO C55 is worth considering.

Xiaomi Poco C55 Specifications, Pros and Cons
Source: OI Spice Tech News English
The Xiaomi Poco C55 is launched in February 2023, and the expected price of the phone would be around $121 (Rs 9,999 in India) approx. Alongside this, you will also obtain the 6.71-inch IPS LCD display that renders HD resolution. The display is also protected by panda glass and is dust and splash resistant. On top of that, you will attain the Android 12 OS experience with MIUI 13 for POCO UI, and the hardware follows the lead by the 12nm – MediaTek MT6769Z Helio G85 chipset. On the other hand, the camera setup includes a dual camera with a 50MP primary camera with a 0.08MP depth sensor. As for the front-facing camera, the Poco C55 offers a 5MP selfie camera. Both cameras can record up to 1080p resolution videos. Apart from the camera settings, the Xiaomi Poco C55 smartphone offers a Li-Po 5000 mAh battery with regular 10W fast charging support. As far as the color option is concerned, the Cool Blue, Forest Green, and Power Black are available with 4GB to 6GB of RAM and support 64GB to 128GB of internal storage.

POCO C55 Review – New Budget King?
Source: Cashify English
The Poco C55 comes out as a solid budget smartphone with great design and build quality. It is powerful enough to handle casual usages like testing and calling. Even light gaming is possible. The main camera takes some good photos in proper lighting. Display quality is good for everyday use and the big battery easily lasts two days. However, the secondary and selfie camera is below average. And the 10W charging speed is quite slow. However, if those shortcomings are fine with you, the POCO C55 is a fantastic budget phone under 10K.

It is a small display format for smartphones. You shouldn't be severely defective in vision, and you won't see much detail on the screen and only have a small resolution available. For that, the device should be small and handy, easy to transport.

70%: This rating is poor. More than three quarters of the models are rated better. That is rather not a purchase recommendation. Even if verbal ratings in this area do not sound that bad ("sufficient" or "satisfactory"), they are usually euphemisms that disguise a classification as a below-average laptop.
