Following the success of last year’s POCO F series smartphones, POCO is now back with the brand new POCO F4 GT in the global market that will take on the likes of other ”upper” mid-range models such as the recently announced iQOO Neo6.
Quite expectedly, the new model brings along several key upgrades including a greatly improved chipset as well as an even faster charging speed. Without further ado, let’s check out what the POCO F4 GT has in store for us!
Display
Starting with the front side of the phone, the new POCO F4 GT sports a 6.67” AMOLED display which offers a sharp FHD+ screen resolution along with a smooth 120Hz adaptive refresh rate which automatically switches it’s refresh rate accordingly to it’s onscreen contents.
To provide users with an added advantage in real-time, first-person shooter game titles like PUBG Mobile, the display itself also supports a super responsive 480Hz touch sampling rate which allows the screen to quickly pick up any touch input from the user.
To sweeten the deal, the POCO F4 GT also features a pair of shoulder buttons for those who prefer using them rather than tapping on the screen.
Cameras
For photography, the POCO F4 GT retains the same triple-camera system as it’s predecessor including a 64MP Sony IMX686 main camera, 8 megapixels ultra-wide camera, as well as a 2 megapixels macro camera to help with close-up photography.
As for selfies and video calls, the POCO F4 GT features an upgraded 20 megapixels over the 16 megapixels front-facing shooting on last year’s POCO F3 GT (Review).
Performance & Battery
Under the hood, the POCO F4 GT is powered by the latest Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 chipset which will be aided by up to 12GB RAM and 256GB onboard storage in the memory department. As usual, the phone continues to be backed by a reliable VC cooling system that’s crucial in keeping the phone cool during prolonged gaming sessions.
Other than that, the POCO F4 GT also features a host of gaming-centric features such as the company’s in-house CyberEngine x-axis haptics motor as well as a pair of highly capable JBL-tuned speakers to deliver an all-rounded gaming experience for it’s users.
To keep it’s lights, the device will be backed by a respectable 4,700mAh battery which carries support for 120W fast wired charging that’s able to deliver a full charge in just 17 minutes. Software-wise, it’ll be shipped with MIUI 13 based on Android 12 OS out of the box.
