POCO had previously revealed that the POCO C50 would launch in India in November. But the phone’s launch was postponed due to unknown reasons. The new launch date is January 3rd, according to our sources. We expect POCO to confirm this officially soon enough.

Not much is known about the POCO C50’s design and specifications at the moment. As a budget smartphone, we expect the device to feature a waterdrop display and plastic body. The hardware should be pretty basic as well, including an HD+ display and an entry-level MediaTek or Snapdragon processor.
