If the guesses about changing the naming from Redmi 9C to Poco C3 are correct, then we are waiting for a 6.53-inch device with a resolution of 1600×720 pixels, an eight-core Helio G35 chipset, a 5000mAh battery, a fingerprint scanner and a multi-module main camera, where we have a main 13-megapixel sensor. The Poco C3 is not expected to go above $137. Whether the new product will appear in markets other than India, there is no information.
