POCO launched the POCO M2 in India in September 2020. This smartphone can be considered as a better Redmi 9 Prime with a cheaper price tag. Now, six months after its release, the brand may launch a new variant of this handset in the country.
According to a report by XDA Developers, Xiaomi is working on a new smartphone called POCO M2 Reloaded. The existence of this phone was spotted by XDA senior member Kacper Skrzypek (@kacskrz) in the MIUI code.
Unfortunately, nothing else is known about this handset except for its name. Anyway, going by its name, it could be similar to the original POCO M2 with some minor changes.
For those unaware, the POCO M2 is a rebranded Redmi 9 original model, which is sold as Redmi 9 Prime in India. This device is powered by a MediaTek Helio G80 SoC paired with 6GG RAM and 64GB/128GB internal storage.
Some of its notable features inclue a plastic build, 6.53-inch FHD+ IPS LCD panel, 13MP (wide) + 8MP (ultra-wide) + 5MP (macro) + 2MP (depth) quad-camera setup, 8MP selfie camera, fingerprint sensor, 3.5mm headphone jack, USB Type-C port, MIUI 11 based on Android 10 (upgradable to MIUI 12), 5,000mAh battery, and 18W fast charging.
As of late January 2021, POCO had sold more than a million units of POCO M2 in India.
