Poco C51 Makes a Budget Impact in Russia with Solid Battery Life and Essential Features
A new ultra-budget smartphone from Poco, the sub-brand of Xiaomi, has appeared on the Russian market, according to Rosetked. The Poco C51 is positioned as an affordable option for users who want reliable everyday performance without paying a premium price.
The device sports a 6.5-inch HD+ display with a resolution of 720 x 1600 pixels and a tall 20:9 aspect ratio. A V-shaped notch sits at the top of the screen, housing a 5 MP front camera. This setup aims to deliver a straightforward, immersive viewing experience for streaming video, browsing, and social media on a budget-friendly platform.
Performance is handled by the MediaTek Helio G36 processor, built with a 12-nanometer process. The chip features eight cores that can reach up to 2.2 GHz. The Poco C51 comes with 2 GB of RAM and 64 GB of internal storage, a combination that keeps the price low while supplying basic multitasking and app usage for everyday tasks. Users can expect smooth enough operation for light gaming, messaging, and casual apps, though demanding titles may push the hardware beyond its comfort zone.
Photography on the Poco C51 is anchored by a dual-camera rear system. The primary module offers an 8 MP resolution, while a depth sensor enables portrait shots with a blurred background effect, adding a touch of contrast to the camera experience on a budget device. In practice, this setup provides usable photos in daylight and reasonable depth effects for social sharing, with more nuanced results in favorable lighting conditions.
The Poco C51 is powered by a 5000 mAh battery, designed to fuel daily use throughout the day. Charging is supported up to 10 watts, which means relatively modest charging speeds but a practical battery life story for users who rely on all-day usage without frequent recharges. The phone includes standard connectivity options such as 4G, Bluetooth 5.0, Wi-Fi, GPS, and GLONASS to ensure reliable location and network access across typical environments.
In Russia, the Poco C51 is already available for purchase. A promotional price of 4990 rubles is offered until July 17, after which the price is expected to rise to 5990 rubles. For shoppers in the region seeking an inexpensive smartphone with essential features and long battery life, the Poco C51 represents a practical choice within its price bracket. Market timing and regional demand will influence its appeal, but the device clearly targets budget-conscious buyers who want a capable everyday phone without premium costs.
