The Poco M2 Pro is a textbook budget smartphone from the house of Xiaomi that takes care of most of the essentials in an adequate manner.
It marks Poco’s entry into the budget segment as it continues to try and become a household brand in the Indian smartphone market.
The specs are no surprise either, with excellent battery life, a big display, serviceable performance, and fair cameras for the price.
The surprising bit is how close it is to the Redmi Note 9 Pro, pretty much rendering it redundant in the family. Regardless,
it only means better offerings for the consumer, which is what we’re all after.
The Redmi Note series can be credited with defining the budget smartphone segment of India. By sharing key aspects of the product,
Poco can have a headstart in the game while having stronger backend and aftersales support. The key changes include a slightly different finish on the back and faster charging.
Expectedly, most of the other specs translate to a similar experience as its Redmi cousin. To get a detailed idea of what life with it was like, check out our Redmi Note 9 Pro review. For everything else, read on.
Price and Availability in India
The Poco M2 Pro is available in India exclusive on Flipkart via the flash sale model. It starts at Rs 13,999 for the 4+64GB variant, the 6+64GB variant is priced at Rs 14,999,
and the top-of-the-line 6+128GB model costs Rs 16,999.
The Poco M2 Pro follows the same Aura Balance design language that we saw on recent Xiaomi products. It’s a hefty glass sandwich built with a big,
flat display on the front and a curved back with minimal obtrusions. The only exceptions include the subtle Poco branding on the bottom and the cameras which are housed in a square island in a 2x2 configuration. It protrudes a bit,
but using a case takes care of that for the most part.
Thankfully, there is one included in the box. It’s a simple jelly case with a dark translucent finish. It adds a lot of grips,
which this heavy and slippery phone definitely lacks. Reducing our woes, the back is also protected by Gorilla Glass for a fair amount of drop and scratch protection.
