Camera

This phone has quad back cameras and a single front camera.

The back cameras consist of a primary 48MP primary lens, 8MP 119° ultra-wide-angle lens, 5MP macro sensor, and 2MP depth sensor. With a macro camera, we can capture the endless, unseen world that has to be seen to be believed. We can record cinematic 20:9 video frames and even shoot in RAW format. It also supports Smooth Video Zoom, AE/AF Lock, Exposure verification, and many more.

There is16MP in-screen selfie camera with night mode. The version of the MIUI camera app of this phone is similar to the Redmi Note 9 Pro. The only difference is you can use Night mode for the selfie camera on M2 pro.

Display

This phone sports 6.67 inches with FHD + Full-screen display and a standard 120Hz touch polling for advanced gaming. It is found to be pretty easy to use with one hand because of IPS LCD capacitive touchscreen. It has 1080×2400 resolutions, 395 PPI which delivers good sharpness and color reproduction.

For protection, there is Corning Gorilla Glass 5.

Design

The Poco M3 Pro’s design is identical to Redmi Note 9 Pro. The curved glass panel on the back of the phone is glossy and reflective. And there is a large display with a center-aligned punch-hole cutout for the selfie camera on the front. The square-shaped quad-camera on the back and the dual-tone finish on the rear with two-thirds having a pattern of slanted lives are similar to the Redmi Note 9 Pro.

This phone comes with P2i Splash Proof Coating. With this splash-proof coating, we never have to worry about a single splash with Poco M2 Pro’s P2i coating. This is appreciated a lot by the consumers.

Processor and Performance

The phone is powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 720G. This is the same processor inside Redmi Note 9 Pro and Redmi Note 9 Pro Max. This processor performs quite well to handle real-world day-to-day tasks with ease.

Battery

This phone has a 5000mAh battery which is smaller than of Redmi Note 9 Pro, with 33W fast charger in the box. There is USB Type-C reversible connector port for charging. With this battery life, the phone can last up to 18.5 hours, a day, which is a pretty good result.
