The report comes from a reliable tipster Kacper Skrzypek. However, another report from 91mobiles mentions that the phone will launch as the Redmi 12C in India. The report has further revealed the launch timeline of the device in the country. But does that mean POCO C55 won’t launch in the country? Let’s know about that in detail.
Redmi 12C and POCO C55 India Launch Timeline Tipped
As per the report, the Redmi 12C will launch in India in February. The report further states the launch will take place before the Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2023. The event is scheduled to start on February 27, so expect the launch before that only.
As told earlier, the POCO C55 is also tipped to launch in India as a rebranded Redmi 12C and that will launch in the country as well. However, the launch will only take place once the brand is done with the POCO X5 Pro launch in the country. So, we are almost a month away from the official launch of the POCO C55. Most likely, the Redmi 12C will debut first in the country.
