Design and display of POCO C75 5G

Talking about the look and design of this cheap 5G smartphone of Poco, its back panel comes with dual tone design. There is a circular ring wall camera in the back of the phone, in which two cameras and an LED flash light are provided. The back panel of this phone will look like Realme Narzo 70 series.

USB Type C charging port, speaker grill and mic will be found at the bottom. At the same time, 3.5mm audio jack will be available on the top.

The SIM card slot is given on the left side of this cheap phone of Poco. At the same time, volume and power buttons are given on the right side.

Talking about its display, it supports HD+ resolution. Poco has used LCD display in this phone, which supports high refresh rate up to 120Hz. Due to the high refresh rate, you get good content scrolling in the display. At the same time, you will feel fine while watching videos on OTT. If you have used a phone with an AMOLED display before, then you will not like its display. However, users upgrading from a feature phone will love its display. I haven’t used LCD display phones for many years, so I felt a little awkward at first. However, after using it for some time, my eyes adjusted to its display.

Along with watching video content on the phone display, you will also get a good gaming experience. We tried playing low resolution battle royale games on this phone. While playing games, there is a slight lagging in its display. However, POCO’s X and F series phones are good for gaming, so one should not expect good game performance from this phone. Overall, you will like the design of the phone and the display is also better in terms of price.
