While the Redmi 9 was missing a rear camera, Poco C3 will be a replica of the global variant in terms of hardware. This means you will find a 6.53-inch HD+ IPS LCD display with a 1600 x 720 resolution and a waterdrop notch up-top with a 5MP selfie camera.

Poco X3 was the first phone with an original design from the company and Poco fans simply thought that the rebranding days are behind us. But, the Poco C3 arriving as a Redmi 9 rebrand ruins that excitement and hope for the future.
