Poco is set to expand its C-series lineup in India with the launch of the Poco C81 and Poco C81x, scheduled for April 23 at 12 pm IST. The upcoming smartphones will be available via Flipkart, as confirmed through a dedicated microsite that has gone live ahead of the launch.

The listing also reveals key details about both devices, including design elements, battery capacities, and core features. The Poco C81 will come in at least a blue colour option, while the C81x is expected to be offered in black.

In terms of battery performance, the Poco C81 will pack a large 6,300mAh unit, whereas the C81x will feature a 5,200mAh battery. Both smartphones will support 15W wired charging along with 7.5W reverse wired charging, and are confirmed to support 4G LTE connectivity. The company claims the C81 can deliver over 23 hours of YouTube playback and up to four days of music use, while the C81x is rated for more than 15 hours of streaming and nearly 3.75 days of audio playback.

Design-wise, the Poco C81 sports a flat dual-tone rear panel with a pill-shaped camera module at the top-left corner, housing a 13-megapixel primary camera alongside a secondary sensor. The device also features a flat frame with side-mounted power and volume keys.

The Poco C81x follows a similar design language but with a single-tone back panel. It also carries a pill-shaped camera housing, though it is expected to feature a single rear camera sensor paired with an LED flash. The Poco branding is placed at the lower-left portion of the rear panel, maintaining a clean and minimal look across both devices.

With the launch just days away, Poco appears to be strengthening its entry-level smartphone portfolio in India with a focus on battery life and practical daily usage features.
