Poco C3 is all set to launch in India today. The phone is reported to be a rebadged version of the Redmi 9C launched in Malaysia earlier this year. The Poco C3 is teased to go on sale on Flipkart, and teasers have confirmed a large 5,000mAh battery inside. It is also confirmed to sport a waterdrop-style notch display with HD+ resolution. There is going to be up to 4GB of RAM on the Poco C3 and a triple rear camera setup will be placed inside a square-shaped module.

A recent leak suggested that the phone will be priced at Rs. 10,990 for the 4GB + 64GB storage variant. In Malaysia, the Redmi 9C was launched in a 2GB RAM + 32GB storage model and this variant was introduced for MYR 429 (roughly Rs. 7,500). If Poco C3 is indeed a rebadged model of the Redmi 9C, then it may come in this configuration in India as well, and may be priced in the same range. As per teasers, the Poco C3 will go on sale on Flipkart, and will be available in a Blue finish. Although, more colour options may be introduced at launch.

If the Poco C3 is the rebranded version of the Redmi 9C, then the phone may feature a 6.53-inch HD+ (720×1,600 pixels) LCD display and may be powered by the octa-core MediaTek Helio G35 SoC. The onboard storage should be expandable via a microSD card (up to 512GB). The phone should also have a rear fingerprint sensor.
