POCO is here with a budget smartphone range and it has now officially confirmed its availability and specifics. The successor to the POCO C-series smartphone, the POCO C65 will launch soon. Here’s everything we know so far about the smartphone.
The smartphone was spotted on multiple certification websites recently and then soon after that, Poco officially announced the Poco C65. Poco took to X (formerly Twitter) to announce that the Poco C65 smartphone will make its way on the 5th of November during an online event.
Poco tweeted, “Entry-level entertainment powerhouse is back, with enhanced features at no extra cost. Say hello to our latest creation in the C series #POCOC65! Stay tuned for the online launch of #POCOC65 on Nov 5th.” This was shared along with the teaser poster which hinted at key specs. Post this, Poco has been hinting at other specs too on its X account.

All this is what the brand has confirmed so far, but rumours suggest that the smartphone could also run on Android 13 based MIUI 14 and will feature a USB Type-C port. Another runoff strongly circulating on the web is that the Poco C65 could be the rebranded version of the upcoming Redmi 13C. Since we have seen this earlier too with Redmi and Poco smartphones, there might be some truth to that.
Poco even revealed the prices of this smartphone for the US market. The early bid for the smartphone for the 6GB RAM + 128GB internal storage variant will start at $109 (₹9,100 approx) and at $129 (₹10,800 approx) for the 8GB RAM + 256GB internal storage variant. The prices for the Indian market are yet to be told.
For other details, we will have to wait till 5 November and see what the brand offers.
