POCO, continuing to ride upon its success in India, today announced that it has managed to sell over 3 million units of its entry-level C series through Flipkart since its launch. The series is currently comprised of the POCO C3 and C31, both priced under Rs 10,000, and has played a key role in making the company the third-largest online smartphone brand in the country.

To recall, the POCO C31 is the newer iteration of the POCO C3, bringing along a slightly larger HD+ display and restoring the missing fingerprint sensor hardware. While the C3 came with a 6.43-inch display, the C31 bumped the size up to 6.53-inches for a better viewing experience. Apart from this, both are powered by the MediaTek Helio G35 octa-core processor and pack 5000mAh batteries with 10W charging support.

For photography, both come with 13MP primary cameras at the rear, joined by a 2MP macro and a 2MP depth sensor. And on the front, you get a 5MP selfie shooter.

POCO also promises a clean UI with a no-ads experience, so that’s another thing to consider. Both phones are up for grabs for Rs 8,499 on Flipkart. To purchase the POCO C31, head over to this link. The POCO C3, on the other hand, can be availed from here.

A slightly pricier but great alternative to the POCO C series can be the POCO M3 for those looking for a bump in the specifications. This one is listed for Rs 11,499 on Flipkart and comes with an FHD+ display, 48MP camera, and Snapdragon 662 processor.

The last POCO C-series smartphone announced by the Xiaomi-owned company is the POCO C3. It launched in October of 2020 which means it is almost a year old. Considering the refresh time between devices, it is a surprise that a successor wasn’t announced sooner.

The POCO C3 was a success in India, selling more than 2 million units in its first 9 months. That isn’t bad for a phone that launched for roughly $100. We want to believe the successor will also have a super affordable price tag.

The C3 launched with very similar specs to the Redmi 9C. The key differences between the two phones are a smaller screen and the lack of a fingerprint scanner on the Redmi 9C. There are speculations that its successor may be similar to a Redmi phone. However, considering there isn’t a Redmi 10C yet, we may see the roles get reversed with POCO launching the phone first and then Redmi relaunching it under its own brand in another market.
