On schedule, POCO today launched the C3 in India—the most affordable POCO smartphone yet.

POCO C3 now official |
Redmi 9C with up to 4GB RAM
But despite the budget price tag, the POCO C3 looks promising. The phone is like a refined Redmi 9C with bigger RAM size.

With MediaTek's HyperEngine tech |
It sports a durable polycarbonate shell with reinforced corners for better drop survival rate and rubberized seals for P2i water splash resistance in Arctic Blue, Matte Black, and Lime Green colors.
In front, the phone highlights a TÜV Rheinland Reading Mode Certification-ready 6.43-inch LCD LTPS screen with HD+ resolution, a 20:9 screen aspect ratio, and a 5MP f/2.2 front camera for selfies, video calling, and face unlock.
Under the hood, it features the same 2.3GHz 12nm MediaTek Helio G35 octa-core processor, PowerVR GE8320 (680MHz) GPU, and HyperEngine technology for seamless connectivity.
But, it now has a higher base RAM configuration up to 4GB LPDDR4X. It still goes with up to 64GB eMMC 5.1 expandable storage and a 5,000mAh battery with 10W charging.

Better Battery 2.0 technology |
POCO also added 380V Surge Protection and Better Battery 2.0 technology which makes its battery last for more than 3.2 years before degrading in quality.
The handset also has a 13MP main + 2MP macro + 2MP depth + LED flash triple-camera configuration and a POCO Clean Experience with Minimal UI using the latest MIUI 12.
