The device appears to have dual cameras and a rear-mounted fingerprint scanner on the back. As usual, there’s also the Poco branding next to the cameras.

Unfortunately, no other information is available about the phone. However, as per Kacper Skrzypek, the upcoming Poco C55 will be a rebranded Redmi 12C with slight changes.

If that’s to be believed, we can expect it to come with a 6.71-inch IPS LCD display with an HD+ resolution. It may feature a dual camera system with a 50MP main lens and an auxiliary lens. It could have a 5MP camera on the front for clicking selfies.

The device may come powered by a MediaTek Helio G85 chipset paired with up to 6GB of RAM and 128GB of internal storage. Poco may offer a big 5,000mAh battery with 10W charging.

Since it will arrive in the C series, we can expect the device to be priced somewhere in the range of Rs 10,000.
