The Redmi 9C NFC differs by having an NFC module and only two rear camera lenses, unlike the Redmi 9C, which has a triple rear camera setup.

On October 6, 2020, the POCO C3 was introduced, which is an Indian version of the Redmi 9C and differs slightly in the design of the back panel and lacks a fingerprint scanner.

The phone is available with multiple colors, depending on the model:[7][8][9] The smartphones feature a MediaTek Helio G35 SoC with PowerVR GE8320 GPU.

The Redmi 9C, POCO C3, and POCO C31 feature a triple rear camera setup consisting of a 13MP, f/2.2 wide-angle lens with phase-detection autofocus and a 2MP, f/2.4 macro lens and depth sensor.

Both the rear and front cameras on all models can record video at 1080p resolution at 30 fps.
