The New Mid-Range King? Introducing the Xiaomi Poco X4 GT

Xiaomi’s sub-brand Poco has been making waves in the affordable smartphone space with offerings like the popular Poco F series. Their latest release, the Poco X4 GT, looks to elevate the Poco experience with flagship-grade specs at a mid-range price point.

Key Specs

• Display: 6.6-inch FHD+ IPS LCD, 144Hz refresh rate

  • 16MP front camera
• Battery: 5080mAh with 67W fast charging

The Dimensity 8100 chip is a notable upgrade over predecessors and promises snappier performance across apps and games. The 144Hz display and 67W charging also give the user a flagship-like experience.

On the photography front, the 64MP main camera backed by 8MP ultra-wide and 2MP macro sensors should provide ample flexibility. Selfies are handled by a respectable 16MP front camera.

With dual SIM support, 5G connectivity, stereo speakers, side-mounted fingerprint scanner and more – the X4 GT is well-rounded on paper. All of this is housed in a slim 8.9mm body weighing just 200g.
