POCO C55 could be the most feature-packed C-series smartphone to date.
POCO India, last month, launched its entry-level – POCO C50 smartphone in the Indian market. The brand is now gearing up to launch yet another smartphone under the C-series – the POCO C55. POCO took it to social media channels to share the announcement. The company is marketing the upcoming POCO C55 with the tagline Speed and Swag.
POCO India didn’t reveal the launch date or features of the upcoming C-series smartphone. However, we can expect it to launch in the next couple of weeks in the country. Also, in a separate development, noted tipster Kacper Skrzypek claims that the upcoming POCO C55 will be a rebranded Redmi 12C which was launched in December in China.
Also, tipster Yogesh Brar has posted a live image of the upcoming POCO C55 which showcases the back panel and the camera layout of the device. The camera layout and the fingerprint scanner position, as you would guess, appear to be exactly same as that of the Redmi 12C.
The live image of the upcoming POCO C55 reveal a dual-rear camera setup, an LED flash, and a rear-mounted fingerprint scanner, enclosed inside a huge module. This black coloured module also showcases POCO branding in huge font. The back panel appears to have a leather texture.
