POCO has just presented a new ultra-cheap smartphone. For about 100 euros to change you can have an inexpensive device, but well balanced. We are talking about the POCO C55 , a phone of which we have no record that it will arrive. At least for now.
Technical characteristics of the Poco C55
The POCO C55 is a smartphone that comes with a very generous size, specifically 6.71 inches diagonally. Size is not at odds with price and this device proves it. Of course, do not expect a high-quality panel, although it saves the furniture for the price it has. Its resolution is HD+ and it has a 120 Hz touch response , so even if it’s not the best quality screen, at least it’s pretty fluid. If it’s dimensions that concern you, here they are: 168.8 x 76.4 x 8.8mm. and 192 grams of weight.
Inside we find a Helio G85 processor , with two variants of RAM, 4 GB or 6 GB . The same goes for the internal storage, with 64 GB or 128 GB , although, in any case, you can expand it via microSD.
As for its cameras, it has a 50 MP + 0.8 MP sensor in the rear and a 5 MP sensor in the front. Quite insufficient for most of us, but let’s remember that it is a very modest range mobile, so you cannot ask for more. As for its battery, it incorporates a 5,000 mAh capacity and a 10 W fast charge . Of course, a slap on the wrist for POCO that returns to the archaic Micro USB .
Finally, we can mention its connectivity, with 4G, WiFi ac, Bluetooth 5.0 and NFC , and its operating system, which comes with MIUI 13 as a customization layer for Android 12 .
Full review of the Poco C55 coming as soon as we get our hands on the device.
Availability and price
This smartphone has been put up for sale in India , although there is no word on whether it will reach other markets.

The price starts at 100 euros for the 4 GB + 64 GB model, while the 6 GB + 128 GB model would cost 125 euros .
