Buying advice for Algeria
Both Xiaomi Poco C85 4G and Xiaomi Poco M8 are sold in Algeria, but they fit different priorities.
Both phones sit in the same price band, so the choice comes down to specs and brand preference.
Xiaomi Poco C85 4G packs a 6000 mAh battery, which translates to longer screen-on time when you are away from a charger.
Xiaomi Poco M8 posts a stronger benchmark score, useful for heavier games and multitasking on Algerian carriers' busier 4G networks.
In the 30,000 to 60,000 DZD bracket, look for 5,000 mAh batteries, 120Hz screens, and at least 6 GB of RAM.
