Rumours suggest that it could be a rebranded version of the recently launched Redmi A3. That said, it is expected to come with a 6.71-inch LCD display with an HD+ resolution. The screen may have a Corning Gorilla Glass 3 protection. It will likely be powered by a MediaTek chipset – probably the Helio G36 SoC. It is expected to have up to 6GB of RAM and 128GB of onboard storage. The smartphone may have a dual camera system on the back with an 8MP main lens and a 0.08MP secondary unit. Upfront, it may be equipped with a 5MP sensor for selfies.

The device is expected to pack a big battery with support for a standard 10W charging speed. It will run on Android OS, but we aren’t sure about the exact version. The device may have a side-mounted fingerprint scanner for added security.

Expected connectivity options like 4G, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and GPS support. It may come with a USB Type-C port for charging and will likely have a 3.5mm headphone jack. The device is expected to have a rear-mounted fingerprint scanner for added security.

As of now, the details of the Poco C61 are yet to be confirmed, but we should hear from the company soon as the launch is just a few days ahead.
