The display offers a 90Hz refresh rate and 600 nits peak brightness for enhanced visual clarity. Moreover, the display is shielded by Gorilla Glass protection to prevent scratches and accidental damage.
The POCO C65 sports a dual-lens rear camera system, comprising a 50MP main sensor for stunning photos and a 2MP macro lens for capturing intricate close-ups. An 8MP front-facing camera handles selfies and video calls, while various camera modes enhance captured images.

A 5,000mAh battery powers the device, ensuring ample endurance, while 18W fast charging ensures quick top-ups. The intuitive MIUI 14 operating system provides a seamless and feature-packed software experience.
