The Rs 3,000 price increase makes the POCO C85x 5G a more expensive option than it was at launch.
At its original launch price of Rs 11,999, the POCO C85x 5G was definitely a more compelling choice. Now at Rs 18,999 for the 4GB RAM and 128GB storage variant, you get HD+ 120Hz display, a Unisoc T8300 processor, a large 6,300mAh battery with 15W charging support and 5G connectivity.
