On February 14, 2026, the Poco C81 Pro slipped into the market after receiving NBTC certification in Thailand. The approval confirms the device will lack 5G support, cementing its place as a low‑end entry in Poco’s C‑series lineup. The model number, 25128PC17G, signals a modest build aimed at budget buyers.

Earlier in January, the same handset earned approval from Indonesia’s SDPPI under the name Poco C81. The device later adopted the Pro suffix, suggesting a slight rebranding. Rumors indicate it may also surface as the Redmi A7 Pro in select markets, blurring the lines between Poco and Xiaomi’s sub‑budget offerings.

Spec-wise, the phone sports a 6.9‑inch HD+ panel with a 120Hz refresh rate, powered by a Unisoc T7250 chipset
