In the “under JOD 100” bracket — see the best alternatives ›
Overview
The Poco C61 is a budget phone from Xiaomi, with an unverified reference price of about JOD 45 (about $65) — an estimate, not a confirmed market price. Below is its full spec sheet with a plain-language breakdown, pros and cons, and how it compares to its rivals. We have not tested this phone ourselves; everything here is derived from published specifications.
Its main highlights: its large 5,000 mAh battery. Its chipset is basic (14/100) — calls, WhatsApp and light browsing, as a first or backup phone.
Performance-index rank: #292 of 354 Xiaomi phones we list.
Why consider it?
A basics phone with a 6.71-inch 90Hz screen and a 5000mAh battery, and Xiaomi attaches a written software commitment to it: two major Android updates and three years of security patches.
Who it suits
Someone who needs a second handset, or a first phone for a child or an older relative — calls, messaging, maps and occasional photos, with a headphone jack and a memory-card slot.
Who should look elsewhere
Anyone who needs 5G, shoots photos daily, or resents waiting on a 10W charger.
Performance, camera, display and battery — and the limits of the evidence
The POCO C61 is a globally launched phone, and both its product page and its full spec sheet sit on Xiaomi's own global site — which already separates it from China-market models that reach Jordan only as imports. The processor is a MediaTek Helio G36 built on 12nm, eight cores running up to 2.2GHz. Two configurations are published: 3GB with 64GB, and 4GB with 128GB, both on LPDDR4X memory and eMMC 5.1 storage, with a card slot accepting up to 1TB. The display measures 6.71 inches at 1650x720, which works out to 268 ppi, with a refresh rate reaching 90Hz, 500 nits of brightness and 8-bit colour. The battery is 5000mAh and charging is listed at 10W — the most consequential line on the sheet, because a cell that size takes its time at that rate. Xiaomi's box contents do at least include the adapter. The rear camera is 8MP at f/2.0 beside an auxiliary lens that Xiaomi itself labels QVGA, with a 248x328 active pixel array, so it is not a second camera in any working sense. The front camera is 5MP f/2.2, and both cap video at 1080p 30fps. Networking is 4G only: the published bands cover LTE, WCDMA and GSM with no 5G entry. What remains is a set of increasingly rare fundamentals — 3.5mm jack, FM radio, Bluetooth 5.4, a side fingerprint reader and face unlock. It ships on Android 14 with two major updates and three years of patches committed in print, which is the strongest line on the page. It weighs 199g in black and white, 193g in green, at 8.3mm thick.
Alternatives worth comparing
- Galaxy A13 — For the same money (≈ 45 JD) the Galaxy A13 brings four rear cameras led by a 50MP sensor and the same 5000mAh capacity — at the cost of a 6.6-inch panel stuck at 60Hz instead of 90Hz. (45 JOD · estimate) full comparison ›
- Galaxy S8 — The same money (≈ 45 JD) also buys a Galaxy S8, with 2017 flagship silicon (Exynos 8895) and a 12MP camera behind a 5.8-inch screen — but only a 3000mAh battery and a software generation far older than the Android 14 the C61 starts on. (45 JOD · estimate) full comparison ›

Verdict — conditional on your needs and the documented price above
If the job is to cover the basics for as little as possible and you can live with a 10W charger, ≈ 45 JD buys a complete set of fundamentals plus a support window Xiaomi actually commits to in print. If you take more than a photo a week, or you need 5G, the single 8MP camera and the 4G-only radio are limits no price can move.

Phones JO index (spec-based)
What does that mean in plain words?
Battery: 5,000 mAh — a large capacity by market standards. Capacity is an indicator, not a measurement: real endurance depends on the display, chipset and your usage, and we have not measured it.
Charging: 10W — standard (rated charging power; actual charge time varies with the charger and temperature).
Display: IPS LCD HD+, 6.71-inch — an LCD panel; lower contrast than OLED, and the norm at this price.
Camera: 8 MP (1 lens) plus a 5 MP front camera. Megapixels and lens count describe the setup, not image quality — real results depend on the sensor and processing, which we have not tested.
Pros & cons
Pros
- A support window Xiaomi puts in writing: it starts on Android 14, with two major Android upgrades and three years of security patches.
- The fundamentals that have quietly disappeared at this level: a 3.5mm jack, FM radio, a side fingerprint reader, a microSD slot taking up to 1TB, Bluetooth 5.4, and a charger in the box.
- A 5000mAh battery behind a 6.71-inch panel rated at 500 nits with a refresh rate reaching 90Hz.
Cons
- Charging tops out at 10W against that 5000mAh cell, so every refill is a long one.
- One 8MP f/2.0 rear camera; Xiaomi describes the lens beside it as a QVGA auxiliary with a 248x328 active pixel array, and video stops at 1080p 30fps.
- No 5G at all — the published bands are LTE, WCDMA and GSM only — and the panel is 1650x720, or 268 ppi.

Specification ambiguity: Some spec fields on this page (ram_gb / storage) could not be matched to the manufacturer's own page — either the maker does not publish them, publishes a different figure, or the name covers more than one variant. Treat them as unconfirmed. Spotted an error? Let us know.
