| 2-minute Review [Positives] |
- Decent rear design - the Poco M2 uses a dual finish polycarbonate back, half of which is patterned and other half is smooth, similar to the Poco M2 Pro
- The front is the routine, dew-drop notch with decent bezels
- The fingerprint scanner is on the back and it is fast and reliable
- The textured back of the Poco M2 feels great in the hand and provides excellent grip
- Sharp, vibrant, and vivid 6.53-inch full HD+ IPS display - keeping the price-point of the phone in mind, Poco M2 offers a pretty good display
- MIUI 11 is as feature rich as ever, the overall interface on the phone is quite smooth and user friendly - Android 10 is running beneath all the jazz
- Very good performance from the new MediaTek G80 chipset (similar to the Snapdragon 712) - the phone smoothly handles day-to-day task with ease and heavy games like PUBG Mobile run reasonably well
- Decent quad-camera setup - a 13MP main, an 8MP ultra-wide, a 5MP macro camera, and a 2MP depth sensor
- The photos from the main camera are good for this budget class
- The ultra-wide camera is among the better ones at this price and captures more of the scene easily
- The macro camera puts out decent close-ups if you get the distance right with its fixed focus lens
- The portraits are detailed, and the blur is convincing thanks to the dedicated depth sensor
- Decent selfies from the 8MP front camera - portrait mode is available for selfies too, and it is as competent as a single fixed-focus camera can be
- Excellent battery life with the 5000 mAh cell - with regular use, the Poco M2 easily lasts through two days of use
- Poco M2 is a great option for people looking for a phone with decent gaming performance, good display, and solid battery life at an affordable price
|
- Fresh, sophisticated and premium-looking rear design - it features a pattern of vertical pinstripes down the rear that seem to shift from side to side when you move the phone around under the light
- Front looks slick with a dewdrop notch at the top
- It's relatively easy to use and live with because of its tall and narrow footprint
- The fingerprint reader is on the back and performs well
- Large 6.5-inch HD+ display - it's crisp enough for gaming and video streaming
- Software is one area where Realme has taken a big leap, the Realme UI is easy to use - it is also packed with features such as Game Space, Digital Wellbeing, Focus Mode, Dark Mode, and Riding Mode among others
- Good performance from the new MediaTek G80 chipset (similar to the Snapdragon 712) - the phone smoothly handles day-to-day task with ease and heavy games like PUBG Mobile run reasonably well
- Decent quad-camera setup at the back - a 48MP primary camera, a 8MP ultra-wide, a 2MP macro and a 2MP depth sensor
- Shots with primary camera, under bright sunlight have lots of detail and exposures are well balanced - it works well for casual photography
- The ultra-wide-angle camera delivers fairly decent shots and captures more of the scene in the frame, as long as there is good lighting
- The portrait mode works well with well defined subjects and natural looking bokeh
- The selfie camera is decent - it also takes quite good portraits
- Excellent battery life with the 5000 mAh battery - it easily lasts for 2 days of moderate use
- Decent fast charging with the supplied 18W charger - it fills the phone's battery to the brim in about 2 hours
- The Narzo 10 is a very strong contender if your priority is performance and battery life, and for its target audience, which are gamers, these are the things that matter
|
| 2-minute Review [Negatives] |
- The display has average sunlight legibility and you’d have to keep the brightness all the way up for more clarity
- It packs in plenty of bloatware, so you can get strange notifications and ads, which is annoying
- Average low-light photos, the camera struggles to get the exposure right
- Charging is a bit slow - the 10W charger included in the box tops up the Poco M2 in 2 hours and 48 minutes
|
- A bit thick at 9mm and relatively hefty at 199g
- Competition offers better displays with FHD+ resolution
- The display isn't particularly bright and could be a problem to use in direct sunlight
- There are still a number of pre-loaded apps however - though most of these can thankfully be uninstalled
- Low-light photography is just average, as expected from a budget phone
- Macros are blotchy and rough, with the limited resolution, this camera should be used more for fun than anything else
- However, if you can spend a little more, you might want to consider the Realme 6 and the Redmi Note 9 Pro instead, as they offer much better performance and cameras
