Introduction
The Poco C75 5G is the newest entry-level model in the company’s lineup and the successor to last year’s C65. The C75 is essentially a rebranded version of the Xiaomi A4 with very minimal differences that come down to the design. The C75 5G we are looking at here also has a non-5G variant, which features a different chipset and front camera.
If you are aware of the A4, then you already know what you are getting with the C75 5G. There’s a 6.88-inch 720p LCD up front with 120Hz refresh rate. The Helio G81 chip of the non-5G variant has been replaced with a Snapdragon 4s Gen 2. There’s a single usable 50MP camera on the back, and the 13MP front camera on the non-5G model has been replaced with a 5MP unit. Finally, there’s a 5160mAh battery with 18W fast charging support.

Coming in at INR 8499, the C75 5G is priced the same as the Redmi A4, which is a curious decision since the A4 is better in some ways. Let’s see how this phone fares.
Unboxing
The Poco C75 5G comes in basic packaging that includes the phone, a data cable, and a basic 10W charger.
Like the A4 5G, the C75 5G does not include a case inside the box. However, the A4 does include a 33W fast charger, whereas the C75 only includes a standard 10W charger. Considering the phone only supports 18W charging, the difference isn’t going to be big, but it’s something to consider.
