Now that 2022 is coming to an end, brands are already preparing their early 2023 launches to kick off the new year with a bang. One of them is POCO, the sister brand of Xiaomi and Redmi, which will launch a new cheap mobile in the first days of January to later break the market with a brutal quality-price smartphone . We are referring to the POCO C50 and POCO X5 5G, respectively, of which information has been leaked in the last few hours.
Join us to review everything we know about the successors of the POCO C40 and POCO X4 Pro 5G according to the leaks we have so far.
The POCO C50 could be the best cheap mobile on the market and the POCO X5 5G a Redmi Note 12 5G
The launch of the POCO C50 was scheduled for the end of last November. We don’t know why it was delayed, but now the Indian press says that it will be released on January 3. POCO previously said that the C50 will be well-rounded and affordable, offering “stellar camera performance, immersive multimedia experience” and “long-lasting battery life in a sleek design.” So in theory it will be a POCO C40 improved in camera and battery with a price close to 150 euros.
The POCO X5 5G, on the other hand, will be a renowned Redmi Note 12 5G for the global market according to the specifications that have been leaked with its BIS and FCC certifications. That is to say, it will mount a Qualcomm Snapdragon 4 Gen 1 processor with Adreno graphics , a 6.67-inch screen with Full HD+ resolution, 1200 nit brightness and 120 Hz refresh rate, 48 MP + 2 MP dual camera, 5000 mAh with 33 W charging and Android 12 with MIUI 13 pre-installed from the factory.
Of course, surely the POCO X5 5G will not take the design of the Redmi Note 12 series , and will maintain the characteristic design lines of the brand with the yellow and black tones that distinguish it so much. Its price should be around 250 euros, taking into account what the 8 + 128 GB version of the Redmi Note 12 costs in China and the price difference between the global and Chinese markets.
The launch date of the POCO X5 5G is unknown yet. Here we will inform you when we know something about it.
