Poco C55 Launched With 50MP Camera and 5,000 mAh Battery for Only $115

Right on time, the Poco C55 has arrived in the Indian market for cheap.

It is a rebranded Redmi 12C with a slightly different design, but the same hardware specs meant for different regions. The faux leather back sets it apart from its Redmi sibling.

The front features a tall 6.71-inch IPS LCD with 720p resolution and a standard 60Hz refresh rate, but the touch sampling rate is 120Hz to keep the screen extra responsive. The screen has Panda Glass protection and a 5MP selfie camera sitting in a tiny notch.

The two cameras on the back include a 50MP primary sensor and a secondary depth helper.

On the inside, there is a Helio G85 chip just like the Redmi 12C and two memory configurations to choose from featuring 4/6 GB RAM and 64/128 GB storage that is expandable through a microSD card. Like most other budget Xiaomi phones, this one also boots the dated Android 12 with Poco’s version of MIUI 13 on top.

There is a 5,000 mAh battery onboard with 10W charging support through a micro USB port.

The Poco C55 will be available in Cool Blue, Power Black, and Forest Green colors for a starting price of $115.
