Poco C3 India launch confirmed for October 6, to be sold via Flipkart

Poco C3 India launch has been confirmed for October 6. The company has already launched three smartphones this year in India -- Poco X2, Poco X3 and Poco M2. The Poco C3 launch was confirmed by the company through its Twitter handle on Thursday evening. The Poco C3 will be sold via Flipkart, the company mentioned in its tweet. 

A dedicated page for the Poco C3 has also been made live on the Flipkart website, which also mentions the same "Game Chang3r" tagline, alongside the launch date and time. The phone will go live on Flipkart at 12PM on October 6.  

There is little information available about the smartphone, with Poco not revealing anything so far. The only detail available on the e-commerce page is that the phone will come with a 13MP primary camera. The Flipkart page, however, says, "Come back tomorrow for more details," hinting at the company teasing the Poco C3's features gradually till the launch. 

As far the pricing goes, the Poco C3 will be a budget offering from the company, likely to be positioned in the sub-Rs 10,000 segment. It should compete with Realme C series in India. In terms of specifications, it is being said that the Poco C3 will basically be a rebranded version of the Redmi 9C that is being sold in Malaysia.  

In that case, the phone is likely to be powered by a MediaTEk Helio G35 processor, paired with 4GB of RAM, and a triple camera setup. 

Last month, Poco had launched the Poco M2 in the country. It is powered by MediaTek's Helio G80 chipset, and offers 64GB and 128GB of storage options with just 6GB RAM as an option. The Poco M2 is priced at Rs 10,999 for the 64GB storage variant.
