Xiaomi POCO C65: Full specifications and launch discounts revealed before mid-November release

Xiaomi has now revealed when it will start selling the POCO C65, a handset that it started teasing a few days ago. As expected, the handset utilises the MediaTek Helio G85, the same 12 nm chipset found in the POCO C55. While the company claimed it would launch the POCO C65 on November 5, that date did not apply to the device's general sale.

Instead, it now appears that the POCO C65 will be available on November 11. Specifically, sales will open on AliExpress at 08:00 UTC; it appears that POCO will not sell the smartphone on its platform directly. It is also worth noting that Xiaomi will discount the POCO C65 even deeper than its previously announced Early Bird pricing.

On AliExpress, Xiaomi outlines that a limited number of units will be sold for US$89, albeit only its 6 GB of RAM and 128 GB of storage option. Alternatively, it appears that the 8 GB of RAM and 256 GB of storage options could sell for US$99. Unfortunately, it remains to be seen how many units will be available at this price. However, the POCO C65 will eventually retail for US$149. Please see POCO's global website for full device specifications.
