Last month, POCO launched the C40 smartphone in the global market, making it the first smartphone with a JLQ processor. However, the device never made it to India. Now, a device with the POCO C50 moniker has appeared on the IMEI database, hinting at an imminent Indian launch.
Spotted by Xiaomiui, the smartphone has the model number 220733SPI. This model number has previously appeared on BIS certification and is likely a rebranded Redmi A1. Previous reports have mentioned that the Redmi A1 will launch under both Redmi and POCO brandings in India.
Additionally, the POCO India head Himanshu Tandon has recently revealed that the POCO C40 won’t be released in the Indian market. Himanshu responded to a user’s inquiry by saying, “We have transitioned 5 series. So no C40“. Let’s take a look at all the information available on the Redmi A1 to get an idea of what to expect from the POCO C50.
According to a recent Geekbench listing, the Redmi A1 will come with a quad-core MediaTek Helio A22 chipset. It will have 3GB of RAM and an Android 12-based operating system. Other than that, the FCC listing reveals that the device measures 164.67mm in length and 76.56mm in width. The device will support 2.4GHz WiFi and Bluetooth connectivity. Other specifications of the device are still under wraps.
