As of now, it is unclear what is different between the upcoming Poco M2 Reloaded and the original Poco M2 that launched in September 2020 as the design looks exactly the same. It is expected that the Reloaded version will come with more RAM and storage. Poco M2 was launched in India in two storage configurations – 6GB + 64GB and 6GB + 128GB.

If Poco M2 Reloaded comes with the same specifications as the Poco M2, it could feature a 6.53-inch full-HD+ (1,080x2,340 pixels) display. In terms of optics, Poco M2 Reloaded may have a 13-megapixel primary shooter, an 8-megapixel sensor with an ultra-wide-angle lens, a 5-megapixel sensor with a macro lens, and lastly, a 2-megapixel depth sensor on the back. At the front, it may carry an 8-megapixel shooter for selfies and video calls. The phone may be backed by a 5,000mAh battery with support for 18W fast charging.
