Poco M2 Specifications
The all-new Poco M2 has a 6.53″ FHD+ (1080 × 2340) display with a dewdrop notch design. Protected with Gorilla Glass 3, it has a P2i coating for splash resistance and 400 nits of peak brightness. Under the hood, it has MediaTek’s Helio G80 SoC, which is an octa-core processor clocking at 2.0GHz at max speed and comes with Mali-G52 MC2 GPU.
Running on MIUI 12 with Android 10 as a base, it has two variants as either 64GB or 128GB of eMMC 5.1 onboard storage, and 6GB RAM as common. With a dedicated slot for additional storage, it has an 8-megapixel (f/2.0) lens as a front camera in the notch. It follows a new “anti-fingerprint texture” at the rear, that still functions as the fingerprint scanner but invisible.
As rear camera modules, it has a quad setup as 13-megapixel (f/2.2) as the primary sensor, followed by an 8-megapixel (f/2.2) lens as an ultra-wide angular lens, a 5-megapixel (f/2.4) lens as a macro lens and a 2-megapixel (f/2.4) lens as a depth sensor. These can record an FHD video at 30fps just as the front camera.
Having all the required connectivities as Bluetooth 5, dual-band Wi-Fi, GPS, VoLTE, Infrared port and a USB 2.0 Type-C port, it comes with a 5000mAh battery with 18W fast charging support. This is the only slight change when compared to Redmi 9 Prime, as it features a 5020mAh battery.

Coming in Slate Blue, Pitch Black, and Brick Red color variants, the 6GB + 64GB handset is priced at Rs.10,999 and the 6GB + 128GB is priced at Rs.12,499. Both the variants are set to go sale starting September 15 via Flipkart.
