Poco’s next smartphone might be another rebranded Redmi device. After rebranding Redmi K30 4G as Poco X2 and global variant of Redmi Note 9 Pro as Poco M2 Pro, the company might next rebrand the Redmi 9C.

With the launch of Poco M2 Pro, the company officially entered the sub-Rs 15,000 price segment.
