Xiaomi’s upcoming budget smartphones—the Redmi 15C and Poco C85—have made an early appearance in the GSMA IMEI database.
The newly discovered entries include multiple regional variants, including Global, EEA, and others. Based on the structure of the model numbers (25078RA3EA), the devices appear to be slated for a July 2025 debut, although Xiaomi’s timelines aren’t always predictable.
Here are the listed model numbers for both devices on the GSMA database:
Redmi 15C
- 25078RA3EA
- 25078RA3EY
- 25078RA3EL
- 25078RA3EE
Poco C85
- 25078PC3EE
- 25078PC3EG
What we think the Redmi 15C and Poco C75 might offer
As of now, no official specifications have been released. But given Xiaomi’s past releases in this segment, our expectations are fairly standard.
The Redmi 15C and Poco C85 are likely to ship with IPS LCD panels and an entry-level chipset, possibly something in the range of a MediaTek Helio G99.
This will likely be paired with LPDDR4X RAM paired with eMMC 5.1 storage. It might have around 6000mAh battery, with support for 18W to 33W fast charging, depending on the variant.
The appearance in the GSMA listings doesn’t confirm much else, but it does confirm Xiaomi will once again rebrand one device under two different brands. But it’s not surprising. The Redmi and Poco lines have long overlapped in hardware, with branding and design tweaks being the only difference.
