The launch of the Poco C50 India could take place very soon. The Xiaomi sub-brand has yet to confirm the official launch date, but a new report suggests that the Poco C50 will go official in India on January 3. It will probably arrive in the economy price segment. Separately, the upcoming Poco C50 smartphone is said to have appeared on the Google Play Console website with the model number 220733SPI and the codename “snow”. The Poco C50 is expected to be a rebranded version of the Redmi A1+ and might be powered by a MediaTek Helio A22 SoC.

A report from 91Mobiles has suggested the India launch date of the Poco C50. According to the report, the handset will be launched in the country on January 3.

Separately, a report from Gizchina shows screenshots of Google Play Console which lists the Poco C50. The listing suggests model number 220733SPI and code name snow.

The Poco C50 and the Redmi A1+ will have identical specifications if the former is indeed a renowned device. The Redmi A1+ was launched in India in October with a starting price of Rs. 6,999 for the base 2GB RAM + 32GB storage variant.

Redmi A1+ has a waterdrop-style notch display and is powered by a MediaTek Helio A22 SoC.
