Poco C65, launched globally in November, has been expected to launch in India. The global variant comes with a MediaTek Helio G85 SoC and houses a 5,000mAh battery with support for 18W wired fast charging via a micro USB port. It carries a 50-megapixel dual rear camera unit and a 6.74-inch HD+ display. The phone succeeds the Poco C55, which was unveiled in February this year. The company has now confirmed the India launch date of the smartphone.

In a post on X, Poco India confirmed that the Poco C65 will launch in India on December 15. The poster shared alongside the post reveals that the handset will be available for purchase via Flipkart. It also teased the phone in a purple colour option. The design of the back panel appears to be similar to that of the global variant. It is also likely to carry similar specifications.
