Poco M2 : Made official with Helio G80, 6,53 "screen and 5.000 mAh battery

Η Poco presented us with M2 Pro last July and today, the company announced a cheap version of it named Poco M2.

Το Poco M2 has the Helio G80 SoC combined with 6 GB RAM. The smartphone "runs" it MIUI 11 based on Android 10, and the company has promised that it will soon be upgraded to MIUI 12.

Η Poco it even mentions that the M2 won't come with ads like other MIUI-powered smartphones sold by Xiaomi and Redmi.

The device is equipped with one FullHD + 6,53 inch screen with a waterdrop notch at the top, under which the Selfie camera is housed 8MP, while the screen is protected by Gorilla Glass 3.

The back of the device has a two-tone pattern with "anti-fingerprint texture", and houses a fingerprint scanner accompanied by a quad-camera installation that includes a main camera in the 13MP, a wide-angle lens in 8MP, a Macro camera in 5MP and a depth sensor in 2MP.

The Poco M2 has four rear cameras

The device is powered by a battery 5.000 mAh which supports charging on 18w. However, the charger inside the package only supports charging on 10w, so you need to spend more money to buy a faster charger.

If all of this sounds familiar to you, it's because Poco M2 is not a completely new smartphone. It shares most of its specifications with redmi 9, which was released in India as the Redmi 9 Prime .

The rest of its specifications Poco M2 include storage space up to 128 GB, a special card slot microSD allowing storage expansion to 512 GB, nano-coating P2i which repels water, IR Blaster and headphone jack 3,5 mm.
