Recently, Poco launched the Poco X3 Pro in India and now, it’s now expand the M-series with the introduction of a new Poco M2 variant. Called the Poco M2 Reloaded, this device comes as a toned-down version of the original M2, which launched as a Redmi 9 Prime rebrand in the country last year.
The Poco M2 Reloaded features a similar form factor as its predecessor. It comes with a 6.53-inch Full-HD+ LCD panel with a water-drop design to house an 8MP selfie snapper.
There is a quad rear-camera setup with a 13MP primary sensor onboard. The camera module also includes an 8MP ultra-wide lens with a 118-degree field-of-view (FOV), a 5MP macro lens, and a customary 2MP depth sensor.
Under the hood, the Poco M2 Reloaded is powered by the MediaTek Helio G80 chipset, which is based on the 12nm architecture. It comes with 4GB of RAM and 64GB of internal storage, which is expandable up to 512GB via a dedicated microSD slot. The 4GB RAM is the only difference between the Reloaded and the standard variant. The latter packs 6GB of RAM and the rest of the specifications remain the same.
There is also a 5,000mAh battery with support for 18W fast charging, a rear-mounted fingerprint sensor, and support for dual SIM connectivity. The device runs on MIUI 11 for Poco based on Android 10 out-of-the-box.
