As per a few teasers, the Poco M2 could come with a waterdrop notch cutout on the front with an HD display and will be equipped with a high-capacity battery to boot. While this isn’t much information to go by, the company has kept most details to itself and will be revealing some key features in the heads up to the launch on September 8.

Poco M2 Pro shares its feature set with the Redmi Note 9 Pro and so it is likely that the Poco M2 will have much in common with the Redmi Note 9. Moreover, since the Poco M2 Pro was priced starting at Rs 13,999, the Poco M2 will most certainly be placed under the Rs 12,000 price range and the company could go even more aggressive with the final pricing.
