POCO has recently launched the POCO X3 smartphone with an aggressive starting price of Rs 16,999 (~$230) in India. Except for the POCO X3, all the other phones such as the POCO X2, POCO F2 Pro, POCO M2 Pro, and POCO M2 are all rebranded versions of their Redmi counterparts. Images of the retail box units of an upcoming POCO smartphone called the POCO C3. Rumors surrounding the POCO C3 have claimed that it will end up as a rebranded version of the Redmi 9C that debuted a few months back.
The POCO C3 retail box image shows that its model number is M2006C3MI. The Maximum Retail Price (MRP) of the device mentioned on the package is Rs 10,990 (~$149). This pricing is for the 4 GB RAM + 64 GB storage variant of the POCO C3.
The POCO M2 that is priced at Rs 10,999 (~$149) is the cheapest POCO phone in India. The handset is available in the country with 6 GB of RAM. Since the POCO C3 has 4 GB of RAM, the Market Operating Product (MOP) could be around Rs 9,999 (~$136).
The M2006C3MI model number is an Indian variant of the M2006C3MG model number that belongs to the Redmi 9C smartphone. Hence, it is highly likely that the POCO C3 will be debuting in India as a rebadged edition of the Redmi 9C.
POCO C3 specifications (Rumored)
