Design

Black Box, similar to the X3

The design is pretty much refreshing, a little different from what we know from the Redmi 9

The finger print sensor is still a bit odd for me, it can easily be mistaken as one of the camera modules.

The display is vibrant, but dont expect too much.

2 nano sim + micro sd expansion

Benchmarks

I believe this score is pretty not bad for its segment

Even the battery endurance is pretty good.

Photos

I can say the Poco M2 can give you pretty decent photos, and its really in the budget segment thats why its kinda hard to expect more from it. But overall the camera is pretty good outdoors, but sort of lacking when used on low light and even worst on super low light. Selfie camera is decent also on low light as well.

Full Review

Verdict:

I can say that overall performance for daily driver is what you are looking for in this phone, I personally wont really mind playing much games on this one since it wont handle hard hitting games especially those graphics intense ones. If you are looking for a decent budget daily driver, then this one is for you.
