June has started, and the first major summer smartphone deals are already live. AliExpress has launched its Summer Promo campaign, bringing several Xiaomi, REDMI, and POCO phones close to the €100 mark. For users looking for an affordable daily phone, a backup device, or a first smartphone for children, this month offers some surprisingly strong options with large batteries, big displays, and Xiaomi HyperOS support on select models.
REDMI A5: Best ultra-budget Xiaomi phone
The REDMI A5 is one of Xiaomi’s most affordable smartphones, but it still brings a very large 6.88-inch display, a clean-looking design, and a huge 5,200mAh battery. It is especially interesting because it runs Android 15 Go Edition instead of the full Xiaomi HyperOS experience, making it a rare Xiaomi model with a lighter Android system.
The phone uses a UNISOC T7250 processor, 3GB RAM, and 64GB storage, so it is clearly designed for basic daily use rather than heavy gaming. However, for calls, messaging, social media, YouTube, and light browsing, it offers excellent value.
POCO M7: Best display and battery combo
The POCO M7 is easily one of the strongest picks in this list because it feels closer to a low-mid-range phone than a basic entry-level device. It features a massive 6.9-inch FHD+ display with up to 144Hz refresh rate, making it much smoother than most phones in this price class.
Inside, the device uses the Snapdragon 685 processor and ships with Xiaomi HyperOS 3, which gives users a more modern software experience. The real highlight is its huge 7,000mAh battery, the largest ever used in a POCO phone according to the source text.
POCO C85: Best cheap POCO for daily use
The POCO C85 is another strong budget option, especially for users who want a modern-looking phone with a large display and long battery life. It has a 6.9-inch IPS display, MediaTek Helio G81-Ultra processor, 6GB RAM, and a 50MP main camera.
One useful feature is Wet Touch 2.0, which allows the screen to respond better when used with wet hands. This makes it more practical for outdoor use, work environments, or casual daily situations where cheaper phones often struggle.
REDMI 14C: Best balanced budget REDMI
The REDMI 14C remains one of Xiaomi’s most attractive budget phones because it combines a stylish rear design, a side-mounted fingerprint sensor, a 6.88-inch 120Hz IPS display, and a MediaTek Helio G81-Ultra chipset.
It also includes a 50MP main camera, 13MP front camera, and a 5,160mAh battery with 18W fast charging. Unlike the REDMI A5, this model runs Xiaomi HyperOS, so it feels more like a standard Xiaomi smartphone experience.
REDMI 15C: Newer design with bigger battery
The REDMI 15C improves on the affordable REDMI formula with a more modern design, a large 6.9-inch IPS display, up to 120Hz refresh rate, and a bigger 6,000mAh battery. Xiaomi claims the device can last more than two days on a single charge, which makes it a practical choice for users who do not want to charge every night.
The phone is powered by the MediaTek Helio G81 Ultra and features a 50MP main camera with an f/1.8 aperture and an auxiliary lens. It is not a performance phone, but it is a solid budget option for users who mainly care about battery life, display size, and basic reliability.
Which one should you buy?
For the best overall value, the POCO M7 is the most attractive choice because it offers a large FHD+ 144Hz display, Snapdragon chipset, Xiaomi HyperOS 2, and a massive 7,000mAh battery. The REDMI A5 is the cheapest option, while the REDMI 15C is a good pick for users who want a newer budget REDMI model with a larger battery.
These deals are part of AliExpress flash promotions, so prices may change quickly or sell out depending on region and stock. Users can also check update availability and Xiaomi HyperOS software versions through tools like MemeOSUpdates.com or the MemeOS Enhancer app before buying, especially if long-term update support is important.
