Poco M2 Pro leaked specifications

The Poco M2 Pro is expected to be powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 720G as it is speculated to be a rebranded version of the Redmi Note 9 Pro, albeit with some changes. It is also confirmed that the Poco M2 Pro features a quad-camera setup on the back, side-mounted fingerprint reader and support for 33W fast charging. 

Poco M2 Pro is rumoured to be based on the Redmi Note 9 Pro which features a 6.67-inch Full HD+ (2400 x 1080 pixels) resolution display with punch-hole cutout. It comes with a quad-camera setup on the back which includes a 48MP primary camera, an 8MP ultra-wide-angle lens, a 5MP macro camera and a 2MP depth sensor. 

On the front, there is a 16MP selfie camera housed within the punch-hole cutout. The Note 9 Pro also has a side-mounted fingerprint sensor just as it is teased for the Poco M2 Pro. While the Note 9 Pro supports 18W fast charging, Poco has confirmed that the M2 Pro will support 33W fast charging, however, it’s currently not known if the battery is rated at 5,020mAh or lower.

The Poco M2 Pro has also been confirmed to run on Android 10 and we could see the Poco Launcher return as the UI of choice. We’ll know more on July 7 including the price and availability of the Poco M2 Pro.
