Xiaomi Poco M2 Pro - Full Specifications, Features & Price in Pakistan

Introduction

The Poco M2 Pro launched in India in July 2020 as a rebadged sibling of the Redmi Note 9 Pro, aimed squarely at buyers who wanted a Snapdragon 720G phone with 33 W fast charging and a 48 MP quad camera at a competitive price. The "Pro" in the name causes real confusion: it refers to a better camera and faster charging than the plain Poco M2, not to 5G - the M2 Pro is a 4G-only phone. It never launched officially in Pakistan, so any unit in the country is an import, and most units today change hands on the used market. This guide lays out the verified specifications, explains the naming traps, and helps you decide whether a used M2 Pro is worth your money in 2026.

Key Specifications at a Glance

Design and Build Quality

The M2 Pro has glass on both sides (Gorilla Glass 5 front and back) with a plastic frame, which felt premium for a 2020 budget phone but makes it slippery and fingerprint-prone. It is relatively chunky at 209 g and 8.8 mm thick. The square camera module sits in a raised rectangular island on the back, and the colour options - Two Shades of Black, Out of the Blue, and Green and Greener - were distinctive for the time. There is a side-mounted fingerprint sensor built into the power button, which is fast and practical, plus a water-repellent coating. No IP rating was published, so it should not be treated as water-resistant.

Display Features

You get a 6.67-inch IPS LCD panel with Full HD+ resolution (2400 x 1080) and a centre punch-hole for the selfie camera - a cleaner look than the notch on the plain M2. It supports HDR10, and typical brightness is around 450 nits, which is adequate indoors but can struggle in harsh Pakistani sunlight. The refresh rate is a standard 60 Hz; high-refresh screens were not yet common in this price band in 2020. Gorilla Glass 5 covers the front. For a used phone, check the display carefully for backlight bleed, touch dead spots, and brightness uniformity before buying.

Processor and Performance

The Snapdragon 720G (8 nm) was one of the strongest mid-range chips of 2020, with two Cortex-A76-based performance cores at 2.3 GHz and Adreno 618 graphics. In its day it handled PUBG-era gaming at sensible settings and multitasked smoothly. In 2026 it is a dated chip: it will run messaging, browsing, YouTube, and light games fine, but demanding modern games and heavy multitasking will feel slow, and it lacks 5G. Buy it as a basic-use phone, not a gaming phone.

RAM and Storage

The M2 Pro sold in 4 GB + 64 GB, 6 GB + 64 GB, and 6 GB + 128 GB configurations with LPDDR4X RAM and UFS 2.1 storage - fast storage for its class in 2020. There is a dedicated microSD slot, so storage expansion does not cost you a SIM slot, which is genuinely useful if you keep a lot of media offline. For a used purchase in 2026, the 6 GB + 128 GB variant is the one worth seeking; 4 GB of RAM is tight for modern Android apps.

Camera Features

The quad rear camera is led by a 48 MP Samsung ISOCELL GM2 main sensor with an f/1.79 aperture and PDAF, joined by an 8 MP ultrawide with a 119-degree field of view, a 5 MP macro with autofocus, and a 2 MP depth sensor. Two things stand out: the main camera records 4K video at 30fps, and the macro lens has autofocus - unlike the fixed-focus 2 MP macros on most budget phones, it can actually take decent close-ups. The 16 MP front camera sits in the punch-hole and records 1080p. There is no optical stabilisation, so video and night shots rely on electronic stabilisation and software. Keep expectations realistic: this was a good 2020 camera, not a 2026 one.

Battery and Charging

The 5,000 mAh battery with 33 W fast charging was a headline feature in 2020 - a full charge took roughly an hour and a half, and the 33 W charger came in the box. That is the important caveat for a used purchase: the battery is now five-plus years old. Lithium batteries degrade, and a used M2 Pro may hold noticeably less than its rated capacity. Budget for the possibility of a battery replacement, and test actual screen-on time before buying. There is no wireless charging.

Software and Updates

The M2 Pro launched on Android 10 with MIUI 11 for Poco. It received updates during its supported life, but Poco never published a long-term update commitment for it, and as a discontinued 2020 model it is now well past software support - do not expect current Android versions or recent security patches. If security updates matter to you (banking apps, for example), this is the single biggest reason to consider a newer phone instead.

Connectivity and Additional Features

Connectivity covers the essentials: 4G LTE (bands 1/3/5/8/40/41 per the launch spec sheet), dual-band Wi-Fi ac, Bluetooth 5.0, GPS with NavIC support, USB Type-C, and a 3.5 mm headphone jack. Practical extras include the IR blaster (doubles as a TV/AC remote), FM radio, and dual microphones. What is missing: 5G, NFC, and any official water-resistance rating. Note that the 4G bands listed are the Indian variant's; imported units sold in Pakistan may have slightly different band support, so verify the exact unit supports your carrier's LTE bands.

Variants, Colours and Availability

Three RAM/storage variants existed (4/64, 6/64, 6/128) and three colours (Two Shades of Black, Out of the Blue, Green and Greener). The phone was sold in India only and is now discontinued everywhere; it was never officially sold in Pakistan. Every unit in Pakistan is therefore an import, available only on the used market. Stock is whatever individual sellers have - no store can guarantee new, sealed units.

Price in Pakistan and PTA Information

No verified current Pakistan price is available for the Poco M2 Pro - it never had an official Pakistan price, and used-market asking prices vary widely with condition, variant, and PTA status. Readers should confirm the latest price with Zohaan Mobile Gallery. On PTA: the phone is an import-only model in Pakistan, so PTA/DIRBS approval must be checked for the specific device by its IMEI - never assume a unit is registered. An unregistered phone will face heavy PTA tax or network blocking. Factor any PTA tax into the total cost before comparing with alternatives.

Main Advantages and Limitations

Advantages:

• Snapdragon 720G - still competent for basic 2026 use
• 33 W fast charging with charger in the box (at launch)
• 48 MP quad camera with genuinely useful autofocus macro and 4K video
• Gorilla Glass 5 front and back, dedicated microSD slot
• 3.5 mm jack, IR blaster, FM radio - features newer phones dropped

Limitations:

• Discontinued; no ongoing software or security updates
• 4G only - no 5G
• 60 Hz display; no NFC; no official water resistance
• Five-year-old batteries in used units will have degraded
• No official Pakistan launch - all units are imports, PTA status must be verified per unit

Who Should Consider This Phone?

The M2 Pro suits a buyer who needs a cheap, large-screen secondary phone for calls, WhatsApp, YouTube, and light browsing, and who can verify the unit's condition and PTA status in person. It is not for anyone who needs security updates, 5G, strong gaming performance, or a camera that competes with 2024-2026 phones. Students or parents wanting a basic big-screen device at the lowest possible price are the realistic audience - at a price that reflects its age.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Poco M2 Pro price in Pakistan?

The Poco M2 Pro never launched officially in Pakistan, so there is no official price. It trades on the used market, and asking prices move with condition, RAM/storage variant, and whether the IMEI is PTA-registered. Confirm today's price with Zohaan Mobile Gallery before planning a purchase.

Is the Poco M2 Pro 5G or 4G?

The M2 Pro is a 4G phone. Despite the "Pro" name, it uses the Snapdragon 720G, which has no 5G modem. Do not confuse it with the Poco M3 Pro 5G or M4 Pro 5G, which are different 5G models.

What is the difference between the Poco M2 and the Poco M2 Pro?

They are different phones. The M2 Pro gets a Snapdragon 720G chipset, a 6.67-inch punch-hole display, a 48 MP quad camera with 4K video, and 33 W charging. The plain M2 uses a Helio G80 chip, a smaller notch display, a 13 MP camera setup, and 18 W charging.

How good is the Poco M2 Pro camera?

On paper it is strong for its class: a 48 MP Samsung GM2 main camera with PDAF, an 8 MP ultrawide, a 5 MP autofocus macro, and 4K video recording - the macro with autofocus is genuinely more useful than the fixed-focus 2 MP macros common in 2020. There is no ultrawide on the front, and no OIS, so low-light and night shots depend on software.

What processor does the Poco M2 Pro use?

The Qualcomm Snapdragon 720G (8 nm) with Adreno 618 graphics - a solid 2020 mid-range chip that handled everyday use and gaming well for its time, but it is several generations old now.

Does the Poco M2 Pro have a headphone jack and IR blaster?

Yes, both. It keeps the 3.5 mm headphone jack and an IR blaster, plus a side-mounted fingerprint sensor, FM radio, and a dedicated microSD slot.

Is the Poco M2 Pro PTA approved in Pakistan?

PTA status is per-device, not per-model. The M2 Pro was never sold officially in Pakistan, so most units are imports; check the exact unit's IMEI on the PTA DIRBS system before buying. Our guide explains what PTA approval means and how to check it.

Should I buy a used Poco M2 Pro in 2026?

Only at a genuinely cheap price and after a full check. It is discontinued, software support has ended, and the battery in any used unit is at least five years old. It suits someone who wants a cheap large-screen phone for basic use; anyone wanting security updates or long battery life should look at newer models.

Final Verdict

The Poco M2 Pro was an excellent value phone in 2020 - Snapdragon 720G, 33 W charging, and a capable 48 MP quad camera. In 2026 it is a used-market-only device with ended software support and aging batteries, so its value depends entirely on price and condition. Buy it only if it is genuinely cheap, the display and battery check out, and the IMEI is PTA-registered; otherwise, a newer budget phone with updates and a fresh battery is the smarter spend.
