Verdict
In terms of specs both the smartphones come with different processors the brand new Poco M2 comes with a MediaTek Helio G80 chipset whereas the Pro model has a Qualcomm Snapdragon 720G SoC. Poco M2 Pro is available in multiple configurations while the lighter model comes in only RAM and storage models. Both the smartphone runs MIUI 11 features quad rear camera set up but the camera details are not similar. But here your choice depends on the pricing. At higher pricing, you can get the Pro model which has a good camera performance (read review) but the toned-down variant is much economical but lacks features. Rs 2,000 is the price difference between the smartphone. If you are looking for a smartphone under Rs 15,000 then our choice is the Pro model but if you are on a tight budget then you can go for the Lite variant.
