Straight off the bat, it features a 64MP Sony IMX686 sensor that serves as the primary camera which is paired with a 13MP ultrawide-angle lens, a 5MP macro, and one 2MP depth sensor. The front sports a 20MP pop-up camera that serves as the selfie sensor. The quad-camera setup is capable of recording videos in 8K resolution at 24fps, and 4K at 60fps.
POCO F2 Pro flaunts a 6.67-inch AMOLED screen that supports HDR10+, the display brightness of 500 nits, Corning Gorilla Glass 5 protection, and an IR blaster. However, its ordinary 60Hz refresh rate is a letdown from such an anticipated smartphone. It also features a 3.5mm headphone jack.
You also get an LPDDR5 RAM and UFS 3.1 storage on most variants with a decent 4700mAh battery. The battery completely charges in about an hour with its 30W fast charging support. Moreover, the smartphone ships with a 33W charger in the box.
