POCO C75 vs moto G35

Both phones suit different priorities within the same budget segment. Here is what separates them.

• The moto G35 5G offers a Full HD+ display (391 PPI), Gorilla Glass 3, stereo Dolby Atmos speakers, a 16 MP selfie camera, 4K video recording, and 128 GB base storage — none of which the POCO matches
• The POCO C75 5G is the cheaper entry point at Rs. 10,999, with a Sony 50 MP rear sensor, a slightly larger 5,160 mAh battery, and a dedicated microSD slot that does not trade a SIM
• The POCO C75 5G's 5G works only on Jio (SA networks); the moto G35 5G supports both SA and NSA 5G across 12 bands
• Neither phone is suited for heavy gaming, but both handle streaming, and social media without issue
• The moto G35 5G runs near-stock Android 14 with less bloatware; the POCO ships with HyperOS, which is more customisable but heavier

• Visit more than 1.5 lakh partner stores across 4,000+ cities, including Jaipur, Lucknow, Kochi, and Bhopal
• Choose your preferred model and use the Bajaj Finance Insta EMI Card or Easy EMI Loan
• Convert the purchase cost into Easy EMIs that suit your monthly budget

➜ Pro tip: Zero down payment is available on select models, so ask the store executive if your chosen smartphone qualifies before you check out.

Indian buyers comparing these two phones tend to land on three questions: which is better value for the price gap, how 5G actually works on Indian networks, and which handles daily use better. Here is what the evidence shows.

Which phone gives better value for the price difference?

The moto G35 5G costs ~₹1,500 more than the POCO C75 5G, but delivers measurably more: Full HD+ display (391 PPI vs 260 PPI), Gorilla Glass 3, stereo Dolby Atmos speakers, a 16 MP front camera, 4K video, 128 GB base storage, and NFC. The POCO counters with a Sony rear sensor, a slightly larger battery, and a dedicated microSD slot that does not sacrifice a SIM. For most users, the moto's extras justify the price gap.

How does 5G actually work on both phones in India?

The POCO C75 5G's 5G works only on SA networks — in India, that means Jio only. Airtel 5G uses NSA architecture, so POCO C75 5G users on Airtel connect on 4G. The moto G35 5G supports both SA and NSA 5G across 12 bands, covering Jio, Airtel, and Vi. If your primary SIM is Airtel, this is a material hardware difference.

Which is the better everyday phone for most Indian users?

For WhatsApp, Instagram, YouTube, and casual photography, both are adequate — but the moto pulls ahead on display sharpness, audio quality, and software cleanliness (once Glance is disabled). The POCO's 64 GB base storage fills quickly, with ~20 GB consumed by the OS at launch. For video consumption and selfies, the moto G35 5G is the stronger daily companion.

Benchmark scores give a standardised measure of real-world performance potential. Both phones handle everyday tasks adequately, but the numbers reveal meaningful differences — particularly in single-core speed and graphics.

The AnTuTu scores use different benchmark versions and cannot be directly compared. On Geekbench 6, the POCO C75 5G leads on single-core performance — better for app launches and responsive UI — while the moto G35 5G leads on multi-core, which benefits sustained multitasking. Neither phone is built for heavy gaming; both struggle with graphic-intensive titles like BGMI and Call of Duty Mobile at higher settings.

Pro tip: Benchmark scores reflect peak, controlled conditions. For gaming specifically, the moto G35 5G's Unisoc T760 has broader driver support across popular Android titles, while the POCO C75 5G's 64 GB base storage limits how many large games you can install.

Both smartphones offer multiple configurations and colour options. Prices vary based on RAM, storage, and market availability. POCO C75’s higher-end features justify its pricing, while moto G35 appeals to budget-conscious users.
