In the last month we have been literally amazed by the launch of POCO X3 NFC, definitely the absolute best buy of this 2020 and which also marked a real return to the tech scene by the Indian company, which from the glorious POCOPHONE F1 has served up to its users, good smartphones but which on balance were only rebrands of other models already placed on the market by Redmi, a Xiaomi spin-off company.
And this story unfortunately does not seem to have an end, because from what emerged on the entry level model POCO C3, this will actually be the rebrand of the Redmi 9C, which has also arrived on the technical scene here in Italy, therefore the interest in this new smartphone. POCO, at least from the Western point of view it is certainly less. In particular POCO C3 will arrive in India on October 6 and marketed with the partnership between the brand and Flipkart.
Poco C3 will be launched on 6 October in India, but calm the mood, it will be the usual rebrand
As said before, POCO C3 will be based at the level of specifications and design as a twin of Redmi 9C, an interesting entry level that has a 6,53-inch IPS LCD panel with HD + resolution. At the CPU level we find the good MediaTek Helio G35, an octacore solution able to reach the 2.3 Ghz clock to which 2 GB of LPDDR4X RAM memory and 32 GB of internal memory of eMMC 5.1 type expandable with microSD are added.
Ultimately we are faced with yet another terminal, which on the part of POCO it will not leave its mark as it did with the F1 and X3 NFC models. We will never understand this rebrand policy by Xiaomi, generating only confusion among users but above all increasing the risk of not updating and dissatisfying many users.
