Poco C65: Top Competitors

Poco C65’s main competitor is the recently launched Lava Yuva 3 Pro. At Rs 8,999, which is Rs 500 more than C65’s base model, it gets you almost identical specifications but double the RAM at 8 gigs. It does have a Unisoc T616 chip, which is equivalent to the Helio G85 in terms of performance. As a result, we feel 8GB RAM would definitely help improve overall performance.

Secondly, there’s the Itel P55 5G priced at Rs 9,999. For Rs 500 more than same variant of Poco C65, the Itel handset offers 5G support with a better chipset. While the rest of the specs remain similar, a better is more than enough to spend Rs 500 extra as it would have a major impact on your daily usage, making it better in most aspects.
