POCO has been present in India for two years now and surprisingly the brand had only two phones in the market until a few moments ago – the wildly popular POCO F1 and the sub-Rs 20,000 POCO X2. And now, POCO has launched its third phone in India, called the POCO M2 Pro.

The phone is part of a new series from the brand. It is the company’s most affordable phone yet, priced under Rs 15,000. For its price, the device boasts respectable specifications, including the Snapdragon 720G chipset, 48MP quad cameras, FHD+ display, and 33W fast charging support, among other things.

The new Poco phone comes with a hole-punch display and features a quad rear camera setup. The smartphone also comes preloaded with camera modes including a Pro Colour Mode, Pro Video Mode, and a RAW Mode. This is the third phone in India by Poco, the brand that spun off from Xiaomi earlier this year. The phone comes in three different configurations, with up to 128GB of onboard storage. There is also up to 6GB of RAM. Overall, the phone seems like a slightly tweaked version of the Redmi Note 9 Pro that was launched in the country in March this year.

The dual-SIM (Nano) phone runs on MIUI 11 for Poco, based on Android 10. There is a 6.67-inch full-HD+ (1,080×2,400 pixels) display with 20:9 aspect ratio and Corning Gorilla Glass 5 protection. Under the hood, the phone has an octa-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 720G SoC, coupled with up to 6GB LPDDR4X RAM. The quad rear camera setup of the phone includes a 48-megapixel primary sensor, 8-megapixel secondary sensor with an ultra-wide-angle lens, 5-megapixel macro shooter, and a 2-megapixel depth sensor. For selfies, you’ll get a 16-megapixel selfie camera sensor at the front that supports a preloaded night mode.
