POCO C50 w/ MTK Helio A22 now official

POCO’s newest addition to its entry-level C-series goes official: the POCO C50 sporting a 6.52-inch display, MediaTek Helio A22 chipset, and 5,000 mAh battery.

As compared to its predecessor, the POCO C40, we see significant changes including the chipset from a less-familiar JLQ to Helio. There are also some cuts on the battery (previously, 6,000 mAh) and protection as it doesn’t have any IP certification. Though the official listing says that POCO C50 has scratch resistant display and splash proof coating on its faux leather back shell.
