Poco Pad C1 enters the Rp2 million tablet segment with a clear priority: stable everyday performance rather than headline-grabbing benchmark results. For users who want a device that can handle casual gaming, media playback, and routine tasks without feeling fragile, that positioning may matter more than raw speed.
The tablet is powered by Snapdragon 6s Gen 2 with Adreno 610 graphics, a combination that places it firmly in the entry-level performance class. In testing shown by the YouTube channel Diar, it reached 381,543 points in AnTuTu Benchmark and scored 489 in single-core and 1,349 in multi-core on Geekbench 6.
Performance that favors consistency
Those figures do not suggest a tablet built for heavy gaming or demanding productivity workloads. They do, however, show a device that is still competitive in its category and more focused on balance than on peak numbers.
A 30-minute CPU Throttling Test also showed the processor holding performance at around 72 percent, indicating that the tablet can keep its pace reasonably well during longer sessions. That kind of stability is often more useful in daily use than a short burst of speed.
| Test | Result | What It Suggests |
|---|---|---|
| AnTuTu Benchmark | 381,543 points | Entry-level but still competitive |
| Geekbench 6 Single-Core | 489 points | Basic responsiveness for everyday use |
| Geekbench 6 Multi-Core | 1,349 points | Moderate multitasking capacity |
| CPU Throttling Test | About 72% performance retention | Reasonable stability over time |
Gaming remains usable for popular titles
For gaming, Poco Pad C1 is still able to run popular titles in a way that should satisfy many casual players. In PUBG Mobile, the available graphics setting is Smooth with Ultra frame rate, and a 15-minute test produced an average of 39 FPS.
During heavier firefights, the frame rate dropped to 30 FPS, while the device temperature stayed around 38 degrees Celsius. That keeps the experience within a safe thermal range, even if the frame pacing is not class-leading.
Mobile Legends performed better, with HD graphics and High frame rate enabled. The tablet averaged 54 FPS in testing, with the lowest reading dropping to 30 FPS during team fights, while peak temperature again stayed around 38 degrees Celsius.
| Game | Settings | Average FPS | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| PUBG Mobile | Smooth, Ultra | 39 FPS | Drops to 30 FPS in busy combat; about 38°C |
| Mobile Legends | HD, High | 54 FPS | Drops to 30 FPS in team fights; about 38°C |
The touchscreen also supports up to 500Hz touch sampling and can detect 10 simultaneous touches. That makes the tablet more responsive in games that rely on quick taps and multi-finger input, even if the hardware remains modest overall.
One limitation is worth noting for players who depend on motion controls. The testing showed that gyroscope support is not available in PUBG Mobile, which could be a deal-breaker for some users.
Display, audio, and battery support the experience
Poco Pad C1 tries to compensate for its modest chipset with a display and audio setup that should feel more complete in everyday use. It uses stereo speakers placed on both sides of the device, which helps create a more balanced sound when the tablet is held horizontally.
A 3.5 mm headphone jack is also included, giving users the option to switch to wired headsets without adapters. That practical detail remains useful for gaming, calls, and offline entertainment.
The battery capacity stands at 7,600 mAh, and the efficiency results are encouraging. A 30-minute 1080p video playback test reduced the battery by only about 4 percent, while the same drop was recorded during 30 minutes of scrolling through TikTok and Instagram.
Gaming draws more power, as expected, but still remains manageable. Around 8 percent of battery was used during roughly 30 minutes of gameplay, which points to a tablet that can last through regular sessions without frequent charging.
Practical extras round out the package
Although cameras are not the main reason to buy a tablet like this, Poco still includes front and rear units for basic use. The front camera was described as sharp enough for video conferences, online classes, and virtual meetings.
The rear camera also managed good detail when lighting was sufficient. It carries the AI Smart Camera label, although the testing did not spell out any deeper AI functions behind that branding.
Face Unlock is present as well and reportedly works quickly enough for everyday device access. For many tablet users, that kind of convenience matters more than trying to turn the device into a serious photography tool.
With a 2K 120Hz display, HyperOS 3, stereo speakers, a large battery, and performance that remains steady for daily gaming, Poco Pad C1 presents itself as a sensible option in the Rp2 million class. It is not trying to compete with premium tablets, but it does offer a balanced package for users who want a dependable device first and a gaming machine second.
