Xiaomi has revealed its latest budget phone overseas under the name of Poco C50. The phone has modest specs and a price that doesn’t exceed around $80.
The new phone is actually a rebranding of the Redmi A1+ phone, but the company has re-introduced it again under the Poco C50 name and introduced it first in India.

The Poco C50 features a 6.52-inch IPS LCD screen with a resolution of 720×1600 pixels, with a refresh rate of just 60Hz.
This screen includes a 5-megapixel selfie camera located inside a water drop-shaped bump.
At the rear, the new phone offers dual rear cameras, one of which is a depth sensor and the other is an 8-megapixel wide-angle camera, and there is also a fingerprint scanner alongside the cameras.
At the heart of the phone is a 12nm MediaTech Helio A22 chip with 2GB or 3GB of RAM depending on the version and 32GB of internal storage expandable via a microSD card slot.
The Poco C50 runs on Android 12 Go with the MIUI level for POCO on top and has a leather-like texture on the back, giving it the ability to resist water splashes.
