The successors to last year’s Poco F1 were slow to arrive, but the ban was finally opened this year with the Poco F2 Pro and Poco X2. The third to arrive is the new Poco M2 Pro, a new suit for the Xiaomi Redmi Note 9s with a few changes like faster fast charging.
The Poco M2 Pro is a new mid-range terminal that seeks to give you more than it costs. For this, it offers you Snapdragon 720G, a 48-megapixel quad camera and a large battery from 165 euros to change.

It sounds a little to me
Again, Xiaomi, or POCO, is betting on reusing another model to increase the ranks of its POCO brand. If the POCO X2 was a clone of the Redmi K30 and the POCO F2 Pro was a clone of the Redmi K30 Pro, the POCO M2 Pro shares 99% of the DNA with the Xiaomi Redmi Note 9s that we knew a few months ago. The finishes, the logo and little else change.
That is, we have a terminal with a 6.67-inch LCD screen and Full HD resolution, with standard refreshment, Gorilla Glass 5 and a centered perforation to integrate the front camera. The fingerprint reader is located on one side of the terminal.
The power of the Poco M2 Pro is provided by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 720G, which brings optimizations for games to cheaper terminals. The available versions combine 4 and 6 GB of RAM and 64 and 128 GB of storage, expandable by microSD card of up to 512 GB.
Quad camera and big battery
For cameras, Xiaomi bets on less megapixels than the company, while maintaining the versatility of having four lenses, one for each situation. The main sensor is 48-megapixel with f / 1.79 aperture, accompanied by an 8-megapixel wide-angle, a 5-megapixel macro sensor, and a latest 2-megapixel sensor for bokeh. Ahead, the self-portrait camera is 16 megapixels.
The autonomy of the Poco M2 Pro is borne by a battery with a capacity of 5,020 mAh and with support for fast charging of 33W. This is the second big difference with the Xiaomi Redmi Note 9s / Pro that, according to versions, stayed at 18W or 30W.
