== Design ==
[[File:Redmi 12C back.jpg|left|thumb|Rear panel of Redmi 12C in Graphite Gray color]]
The screen is made of glass, while the body is made of plastic with a ribbed texture that forms striped patterns on the Redmi 12C and with a leather-like texture on the POCO C55.
The fingerprint sensor of the Redmi 12C, like its predecessor's, is located in the camera island, but this time the area has the same color as the body and the area with the cameras resembles that of the [[Poco M5|Redmi 11 Prime]].
The POCO C55 has a signature black area for almost the entire width of the back with a logo and a fingerprint sensor.
The [[USB|microUSB]] port, unlike the [[USB-C]] of its predecessor, speaker and microphone are located below. On top is a [[Phone connector (audio)|3.5&nbsp;mm audio jack]]. On the left side, there is a tray for 2 [[SIM-card|SIM cards]] and a [[Secure Digital|microSD]] format memory card up to 512&nbsp;GB. On the right side, there is the volume rocker and power button. The fingerprint scanner is located on the back panel.
The smartphones are sold in the following color options:
