After several leaks about this economic model of Poco, a smartphone comes to light that could become an option of choice for many. This Poco C3 arrives inspired by the Redmi 9C that we already find in Spain, although however with important changes that will lower its price further and make it the cheapest option of the Poco firm to date.
Since Poco parted ways with Xiaomi, collaborations have continued to exist, but going their separate ways and looking for a lower price than what we can find in both the Mi or Redmi series of phones. In this case, the characteristics and price of the Poco C3 are designed for those who do not need much, which opens the door to another sector beyond the high-end at a low price, such as what we could see with the Poco F2 Pro and its iconic first Poco F1.
The entry range arrives well prepared
Especially speaking of battery, we will not have any problems, because with the 5,000 mAh of the Poco C3 there will be no day that does not reach the end without having to resort to its 10W charger. To take advantage of the battery even more, we have a screen where consumption will be minimal, since its 6.53-inch IPS LCD has HD + resolution. We are also TÜV Rheinland certified, which allows us to eliminate much of the blue light.
In the design there are no surprises for a terminal that has a drop-shaped notch and in which there is no fingerprint reader anywhere. On the back we find two textures, which change and are modified in the rear third of the device. It is completed from behind with a square camera model.
Three Chambers and Mediatek Brain
The first of its lenses is 13 Mpx with an aperture f / 2.2 with which results will be achieved combined with its 2 Mpx depth sensor, obtaining for example the portrait mode. In addition, there is a third lens for macro mode with 2 Mpx and the fourth hole of its module is for the LED flash. The Poco C3’s selfie sensor is 5 Mpx with f / 2.2 aperture and we can take advantage of functions such as HDR or Xiaomi‘s artificial intelligence.
Inside the processor is the well-known Mediatek Helio G35 that works at 2.3 GHz and which is designed for the most basic actions. We have options of 3 GB of RAM and 32 GB of memory or 4 GB of RAM and 64 GB of memory which can be expanded by MicroSD up to 512 GB.
Speaking of connectivity, we can only miss the NFC, as we have a 3.5 mm jack, 4G LTE, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and Micro USB port. Including MIUI 12 already standard along with all its functions and options.
