A new Poco smartphone, the C81 Pro, is on the way. This was revealed because it was just certified for sale in Thailand by NBTC. It has the model number 25128PC17G, and the certification confirms that it’s going to lack 5G support. That and the fact that it’s a member of Poco’s entry-level C-series means we should expect a low-end device.
It was also certified in January by SDPPI in Indonesia, but at the time it was identified as the Poco C81. In the meantime, it seems to have gained the Pro suffix – this is the same device. It’s also expected to be sold in some markets as the Redmi A7 Pro.
If the rebranding pans out, then the Poco C81 Pro should have a 6.9-inch HD+ screen with 120Hz refresh rate, the Unisoc T7250 SoC at the helm, 4GB of RAM, 64/128GB of storage, a 50MP rear camera, a 13MP front camera, and a 6,000 mAh battery with support for 15W wired charging. It may disappointingly run Android 15 when it launches, even though Android 16 has been out since June.
