POCO F4 GT

Poco F4 GT Launch in India

POCO has finally made its gaming-oriented POCO F4 GT smartphone available to the general public throughout the world. It is also the first device from the company as part of its F4 series to be geared specifically at gaming and to be available in international markets. There is a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 CPU and up to 12GB of RAM in the Poco F4 GT. The phone has a dedicated gaming button much like its predecessor. POCO F4 GT seems to be nothing more than a repackaged Redmi K50 Gaming introduced in China a few months ago. Now, let’s take a deeper look at the POCO F4 GT’s price and features.

Poco F4 GT Price in India

For the configuration with 8GB of RAM and 128GB of storage, the Poco F4 GT will cost you 599 Euros, which is around 49,000 Indian Rupees. It will be offered at a discounted price of 499 Euros for early birds (roughly Rs. 40,800). There is a model with 12 GB and 256 GB of storage space that costs EUR 699 (about Rs. 57,100). This variant’s pricing for the early bird special is 599 Euros (roughly Rs. 49,000). Beginning on April 28th, consumers will be able to buy the phone in their choice of Cyber Yellow, Knight Silver, or Stealth Black colour options from a variety of online retailers.

Poco F4 GT Design

The Poco F4 GT’s appearance is more refined and streamlined than its gaming counterparts. Despite its sophistication, it’s nevertheless a little extravagant. Gorilla Glass Victus is applied to the back of the phone. As an anti-slip zone, the glossy matte rear is coated with a seamless coating texture that enhances the traction in your palm. Knight Silver, Stealth Black, and Cyber Yellow are the three colour options for the Poco F4 GT. 

The pop-up trigger keys are one of the most notable features of the Poco F4 GT. After a quick flip, the buttons pop back into position; a second flick and they’re safely tucked away inside the phone.

The smartphone weighs 210 grammes and has a weight-to-size ratio of 162.5 x 76.7 x 8.5 mm. It’s a substantial 210 grams, so you won’t be able to forget it’s there. Apart from the fingerprint sensor, which is located underneath the on/off switch on the smartphone’s right-hand side, the trigger controls are also located there. There are four Dolby Atmos speakers built-in as well. Aside from the LED flash, which is actually fashioned like a beam of light, the boxy camera module is rather attractive.

Poco F4 GT Display

With a 6.67-inch AMOLED display, the Poco F4 GT offers a Full HD+ resolution with a 120 Hz refresh rate and a touch sampling frequency of 480-Hz. Videos may be played outside due to the wonderful luminance and lack of distractions provided by the flat screen. However, it falls short of the standards set by real flagship devices.

Poco F4 GT Performance

The F4 GT is powered by Qualcomm’s newest processor, unlike Poco’s previous games-focused devices, which utilised MediaTek CPUs. A Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 CPU is combined either with 8 or 12 gigabytes of random access memory (RAM), as well as either 128 or 256 gigabytes of native storage space.

Although there isn’t any active cooling system, Poco has included a sizable vapour chamber to prevent the CPU from becoming too hot and crashing the system.

MIUI 13 is used on the POCO F4 GT, which is based on Android 12. The fundamental performance is comparable to that of Xiaomi and Redmi smartphones, with a quick and snappy user interface that places a strong emphasis on graphics and quirky flourishes.

Poco F4 GT Camera

It seems that the cameras are in good working order. In addition to an 8MP ultra-wide sensor and a 2MP macro sensor, the primary system includes a 64MP IMX686 sensor and a 1/1.73-inch image sensor. As far as camera quality goes, Poco has certainly assured that one of the Poco F4 GT’s cameras has a decent amount of resolution. A 20MP front-facing camera captures all the action. Daytime photographs feature good clarity and contrast. In reality, owing to pixel-binning and Xiaomi’s excellent night mode, the primary camera performs well at night as well. However, at night, the ultra-wide suffers greatly.

Poco F4 GT Battery

Even for a budget-friendly flagship device, the F4 GT’s battery capacity of 4700mAh is not the highest available. It is still going to carry you through a day of ordinary usage, but a couple of extended play sessions are going to have you hunting for an outlet. This places it farther behind the current generation of flagships, as well as a number of competitors that are priced in the middle.

If you use the power adapter that comes with the phone, you can entirely refill the phone in only 20 minutes owing to its capability for really fast quick charging at 120W, which is enough power to do so.

Poco F4 GT Verdict

The Poco F4 GT is an excellent option for anybody looking for a phone that is optimised for gaming and has a design that is a little more understated than the typical RGB-infused fare.

However, it is missing a few things that we would anticipate seeing on a gaming smartphone, such as a socket for headphones and expandable storage space.  At this price, the camera is adequate, but for a little bit more money, you can buy a package of lenses that is more adaptable to a variety of shooting situations and an overall product with higher quality.
