POCO has officially introduced two new devices for the Malaysian market, the POCO C81 Pro smartphone and the POCO Pad C1 tablet. Both focus on large displays, long battery endurance, and tighter integration with Xiaomi HyperOS 3, targeting users looking for reliable everyday performance at accessible price points.

POCO C81 Pro: A Large-Display Smartphone Built for Everyday Use

The POCO C81 Pro is designed around practicality, combining a large screen, long battery life, and streamlined software experience. It is also the first device in the POCO C Series to run Xiaomi HyperOS 3.

Immersive 6.9-inch Display with 120Hz Smoothness

The device features a 6.9-inch display aimed at providing an immersive experience for streaming, browsing, and daily use. It supports up to a 120Hz refresh rate for smoother scrolling and responsiveness, while reaching up to 800 nits of HBM brightness for better outdoor visibility.

POCO also includes Wet Touch Technology 2.0, ensuring the display remains responsive even when used with wet or oily fingers. The panel is further certified under triple TÜV Rheinland eye-care standards, designed to reduce strain during long viewing sessions.

6,000mAh Battery with Long-Term Durability Focus

Powering the device is a 6,000mAh battery capable of lasting more than two days under typical usage conditions. POCO also claims the battery retains at least 80 percent capacity after 1,000 charge cycles, reinforcing a focus on long-term durability rather than short-term performance gains.

Performance and HyperOS 3 Experience

Under the hood, the POCO C81 Pro runs on an octa-core processor paired with LPDDR4X RAM and UFS 2.2 storage. It also supports up to 8GB of extended RAM via memory expansion, allowing smoother multitasking.

On the software side, Xiaomi HyperOS 3 introduces features such as Google Gemini integration, Circle to Search, Xiaomi HyperIsland, and Xiaomi Interconnectivity, all aimed at improving AI assistance, search efficiency, and cross-device functionality.

Camera and Design

The device comes with a 13MP AI dual rear camera system with a larger sensor that improves light intake by 13 percent, alongside an 8MP front camera with beauty enhancements. Both cameras support Night Mode and HDR for improved low-light performance.

Design-wise, the POCO C81 Pro features a slim 8.15mm body, weighs 208g, and is available in Green, Black, and Gold colour options with a glossy camera ring design.
