POCO asserts that it will bring 8GB RAM smartphones within budget for a whole new group of Indian consumers soon. The C65 also boasts a 50MP rear camera hump, finished in a Pastel Design that leaves the viewer in no doubt as to its branding. POCO has set up an exclusive retail partnership to introduce its next "Big Deal" to its new market.

Xiaomi released a MediaTek Helio G85-powered smartphone in 2023 as both the Redmi 13C and POCO C65, dependent on market. Nevertheless, it turns out both of these twins are on the way to India, and will launch before the end of 2023.

Then again, while Redmi has partnered with Amazon to release the 13C, the unmistakably POCO C65 will be available through Flipkart. Therefore, should one prefer the latter's Pastel Design in blue or matte black over the Starshine Green or Black of the latter, they can just switch sites, or vice versa.

Like Amazon, Flipkart seems to have validated a relevant Geekbench leak in hyping the C65 as the "1st phone in the segment with 8GB + 256GB Memory variant". However, unlike Amazon, the competing platform has yet to elaborate further on the price-point it means.

For now, Flipkart has merely revealed that potential buyers can contemplate starting to "Dream Bigger" with a new POCO C65 from December 15, 2023 - even though the Redmi 13C will have been on the market for 4 days ahead of it by then.
