Apple doesn't publish an end date, but iPhones have a consistent ~2-year update track record — on that basis the Poco C75 should be supported until around November 2026. Buying it today still gets you about 0.4 years of safe use (Apple's written legal minimum is 5 years).

Street price ÷ months of safe use remaining — the number that makes cheap short-lived phones expensive, and well-supported ones cheap.

Our verdict

A wallet-friendly giant-screen phone with a smooth 120Hz panel held back by low resolution and slow charging.

Pros

  • Huge 6.88-inch 120Hz display is rare at this price
  • Large 5160mAh battery lasts well over a day
  • Ships with newer Android 14 and HyperOS

Cons

  • Display is only HD+, so it looks soft up close
  • 18W charging is slow for a 5160mAh cell
Best for: Budget buyers who want the biggest possible screenBest for: Media watchers prioritising battery over sharpnessAvoid if: You want a crisp FHD+ panelAvoid if: You need fast charging or strong gaming power

Frequently asked questions

Is the Poco C75 good for gaming?

Only for light, casual games. The Helio G81-Ultra is an entry-level chip, so demanding titles will need reduced settings.

What resolution is the Poco C75 screen?

It is a large 6.88-inch 120Hz panel but only HD+ (1640x720), so motion is smooth yet fine detail looks softer than an FHD+ display.

Does the Poco C75 have a headphone jack?

Yes, it retains a 3.5mm headphone jack along with USB-C and a microSD card slot.
