Poco C55: Expected specs

The Poco C55 is expected to be the rebrand of the Redmi 12C smartphone, which is also expected to launch later this month. Based on the expected specs of Redmi 12C, the specs of the Poco C55 can be almost similar. The Redmi 12C has already been launched in China, while the global launch is expected soon.

The Poco C55 is expected to sport a 6.71-inch LCD display with an HD+ resolution. It might be powered by an octa-core MediaTek Helio G85 chipset with Mali G52 GPU. The smartphone will run MIUI 13-based Android 12.

It is said to feature a dual camera setup at the back with a 50MP main and a 2MP depth camera. There is a 5MP selfie sensor as well. The Poco C55 might have a 5000mAh battery with 10W USB Type-C charging.

The smartphone is expected to be a budget-friendly offering from Poco, priced under Rs. 10,000 in the country. It will aim to give stiff competition to Redmi A1, Moto E13, and more.
