Poco M2 Reloaded has been launched in India. Owing to the ongoing pandemic, the company decided to skip a virtual launch event. Instead, the phone was launched through a series of tweets that revealed price, sale details, and specifications. Poco M2 Reloaded is powered by the MediaTek Helio G80 SoC and it packs a 5,000mAh battery. It has quad cameras on the back and features a 6.53-inch full-HD+ waterdrop-style display. The specifications of Poco M2 Reloaded are exactly the same as the Poco M2 that was launched last year, except for the reduced 4GB RAM capacity.
