The POCO price in India mentioned on the box is Rs 10,999 (MRP). Now, the Twitter user claims that it’s the POCO C3 retail box, but it seems the person in the image is holding a card rather than a box. The retail box is in yellow, which is curious considering past POCO phones, including the POCO X3, POCO X2, POCO M2 Pro, and POCO F1, have arrived in a black coloured box. The leaked images, in fact, suggest a Realme phone retail box with a photoshopped sticker mentioning the POCO C3, model number, price, and so on.
While we believe the POCO C3 price leak images are fake, we do feel that the phone may launch in India soon. POCO C3 with model number M2006C3MI is expected to be a rebranded Redmi 9C. In addition to the Bluetooth SIG certification, the phone has also bagged the BIS and TÜV Rheinland certifications. The BIS certification suggests that the smartphone’s India launch is imminent and we may hear something about this before the end of the year.
