POCO C3 with MediaTek Helio G35, 5,000mAh battery, and triple cameras launched in India

Earlier this year in June, Xiaomi’s sub-brand Redmi launched the Redmi 9A and Redmi 9C in Malaysia. The devices featured MediaTek’s new Helio G25 and Helio G35 chipsets, large batteries, and a new design. Soon after the launch, we started hearing rumors that POCO was planning on rebranding the Redmi 9C as a new POCO device for the Indian market. A few weeks after the launch, the POCO C3 was spotted in a certification listing with the same model number as the Redmi 9C. Today, POCO finally unveiled the POCO C3 in India, and as expected, it’s a rebranded Redmi 9C with some minor tweaks.

First, let’s start with what’s different on the new POCO C3. POCO has made some minor changes to the back panel design of the Redmi 9C, and the POCO C3 has a two-tone pattern on the back panel with an anti-fingerprint texture that offers better grip. Speaking of fingerprints, the POCO C3 doesn’t offer a capacitive fingerprint scanner on the back, which can be found on the Redmi 9C.

Other than these minor tweaks, the device is exactly the same as the Redmi 9C. It is powered by MediaTek’s octa-core Helio G35 chipset, which features eight ARM Cortex-A53 cores clocked at up to 2.4GHz and an IMG PowerVR GE8320 GPU clocked at 680MHz.

The device features a triple-slot SIM card tray with a dedicated microSD card slot for expansion up to 512GB. The smartphone has a 6.53-inch HD+ LCD, with a resolution of 1600 x 720 pixels and a waterdrop-style notch for the selfie camera.

In the camera department, the POCO C3 features a triple camera setup on the back enclosed within a square camera module along with the flash. It includes a 13MP primary camera, a 2MP depth sensor, and a 2MP macro camera. Over on the front, the device has a single 5MP selfie camera.

Powering the POCO C3 is a massive 5,000mAh battery that comes with a new software optimization called Better Battery 2.0. As far as the overall software experience is concerned, the POCO C3 runs POCO Clean Experience based on Xiaomi’s MIUI 12, which offers users a minimal UI and a promise of no ads. The software includes features like dark mode, icon personalization, an app drawer, quick search categories, and Google Discover Feed support.

As with all entry-level smartphones out there, the POCO C3 includes a 3.5mm headphone jack and a micro USB port for charging and data syncing. The device also features rubberized seals and a P2i Nano water-resistant coating to protect it against accidental splashes.

  • 3GB+32GB: ₹7,999
  • 4GB+64GB: ₹8,999
