Poco Launches The Poco C3; Their Most Affordable Smartphone
Poco, the smartphone brand which became an independent brand off Xiaomi earlier this year (although they still use the Xiaomi MIUI rom on their devices), has long been in the smartphone manufacturing business and has released fine smartphones like the Poco F1, Poco M2 & Poco X2 Pro etc. Earlier today, the company announced its launch of it's newest entry: The Poco C3. **Starting at a price of $102 (USD) for the 3/32GB variant and $122 (USD) for the 4/64GB variant, it well is their most affordable smartphone.** Dubbed *"The Game Changer"*, Poco C3 (*C* which signifies Camera & *3* which signifies the number of sensors) comes with a handful of specs/features which would make it a nice smartphone to own at an affordable price. However, before outlining it's specifications, it is worthy to note that the phone comes in 3 colour-variants — Artic Blue, Matte Black and Lime Green.
By the outer looks, it seems to be a clone (I dare say) of the Redmi 9 series recently launched by Xiaomi about a month ago. Anyway, that aside... let's look at the Poco C3 specs: ****Body**** Dimensions — 164.9 x 77.1 x 9 mm (6.49 x 3.04 x 0.35 in) Weight — 194 g (6.84 oz) SIM — Dual SIM (Nano-SIM, dual stand-by) ****OS & Processor**** OS — Android 10, MIUI 12 Chipset — MediaTek Helio G35 (12 nm fabrication process) CPU — Octa-core (4 x 2.3 GHz Cortex-A53 and 4 x 1.8 GHz Cortex-A53) GPU — PowerVR GE8320 ****Display**** Type — IPS LCD Capacitive Touchscreen, 16M colors Size — 6.43 inches (~80.3% screen-to-body Ratio) Resolution — 720 x 1600 pixels (≈ 270 ppi) Protection — Panda glass. 400 nits type brightness ****Memory**** Card slot — microSDXC (dedicated slot) Internal storage — 3GB RAM/32GB ROM or 4GB RAM/64GB ROM. eMMC 5.1 ****Camera**** **Front** Single — 5 MP, f/2.2, (wide), 1.12µm Features — HDR Video — 1080p @30fps **Rear** Triple — 13 MP, f/2.2, 28mm (wide), 1.0µm; 2 MP, f/2.4, (macro); 2 MP, f/2.4, (depth) Features — LED flash, HDR Video — 1080p @30fps ****Network**** Technology — GSM / HSPA / LTE 2G Bands — GSM 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900 - SIM 1 & SIM 2 3G Bands — HSDPA 850 / 900 / 2100 4G Bands — 1, 3, 5, 8, 40, 41 Speed — HSPA 42.2/5.76 Mbps, LTE-A ****Features & Battery**** Sensors — Accelerometer, proximity Messaging — SMS (threaded view), MMS, Email, Push Email, IM Browser — HTML5 Bluetooth — 5.0 USB — microUSB 2.0, USB On-The-Go (OTG) Battery Type — Li-Po 5000 mAh, non-removable Charging — 10W From the most relevant specifications above, I think it is safe to say that the Poco C3 packs a lot under it's belt for it's price range, and just might be the game changer as it is projected and marketed to be.
