Through a recent tweet, Poco confirmed the design of its upcoming budget smartphone. The short teaser video reveals a dual-camera setup on the back housed in a large camera island. Additionally, the Poco C55 appears to bare a striking resemblance to the Redmi 12C, which suggests that this could be a rebrand for the Indian market.
