      POCO F4 GT Review
      Share on FacebookShare on TwitterShare on TelegramShare on Whatsapp

      The POCO F4 GT is the first phone I encountered that has left and right triggers like a PS4 controller—we put it to the test in this review. Have a look at the specs that this gaming smartphone is packing:

      Specs​​

      CPU Octa-core Qualcomm® KryoTM CPU, up to 3.0 GHz
      GPU Qualcomm® AdrenoTM GPU
      Camera Front: 20MP

      Dimensions 162.5mm x 76.7mm x 8.5mm
      Weight 210g
      Battery 4700mAh

      Genshin Impact on Nintendo Switch: Yay or Nay?

      Design

      With a 6.67-inch screen and dimensions of 162.5mm x 76.7mm x 8.5mm, the POCO F4 GT is certainly on the bigger side, similar to the iPhone 13 Pro Max or Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra in size. Even though it is thicker and heavier than other phones out there, it still feels comfortable to hold and use.

      The POCO F4 GT is available in 3 different colours—Stealth Black, Cyber Yellow or Knight Silver, like our review unit in the images you see. Do bear in mind that while they all look very nice, you’ll still find the occasional fingerprint that you leave on its back.


      Follow @GamerBraves

      One of the cool features that you’ll immediately notice on the phone is the magnetic pop-up triggers on the side. Granted, while gaming phones with trigger buttons are growing in popularity, they’re still not that common in Malaysia, so it’s great to be able to finally use one. Not only are the triggers stable, responsive and great to use when playing games, you can also customise them to use as shortcuts for activating the camera or turning on the flashlight.

      The display is also pretty sweet. With a resolution of 2400 × 1080 FHD+ and 120Hz refresh rate, watching videos or playing games on the POCO F4 GT looked astounding and felt immersive. I also like the shape of the display, which is on the flat side. Compared to phones with curved displays, it really feels like I’m operating a handheld gaming console.

      Camera

      Despite being promoted as a phone dedicated to gaming, the POCO F4 GT isn’t slouching on the camera department. It comes equipped with 3 cameras on the rear—a 64 MP main camera, 8 MP ultra-wide camera and 2 MP macro camera. The phone uses a 20 MP camera on the front.

      Like many smartphones, it comes with night mode as well as many other filters and features for those who like to take pretty shots. Have a look at some of the photos I took:

      Sure, there are better phones out there for taking pictures, but the POCO F4 GT still takes decent photos. Just exercise a bit more caution with the camera, as it is protruding out a bit more compared to other phones.

      Performance

      Being a Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 gaming smartphone, the POCO F4 GT is touted to have 20% faster CPU performance and 50% GPU performance. While I can’t tell you if it’s exactly that much smoother, it does run very well.

      The Snapdragon 88 processor coupled with the UFS3.1 super-fast flash memory makes simultaneous downloading a breeze. The phone was capable of running extremely smoothly no matter how hard I try to overload it with non-gaming apps and tasks.

      POCO F4 GT Review

      Testing the phone’s hardware on Geekbench net it a score of 6143, which is a solid good result for a flagship phone. Also, it has 12GB RAM and 256GB of memory, which is pretty standard.

      Battery

      The POCO F4 GT boasts a 4700mAh dual-cell battery and supports 120W super wired fast charging. To illustrate how fast it charges, during my tests, it went from 1% to 100% in about 30 minutes. 

      Watching videos on the phone via YouTube for 2 and a half hours only drain the phone’s battery from 98% to 68%. Playing video games for 2 hours reduces the battery percentage from 48% to 4%.

      One thing to note is that the charger is huge, especially when compared to other games. However, the head of the cable does have a neat feature, which is that it charges through the side of the phone instead of the bottom. This design makes it a lot more ergonomic to play games while the phone is charging. Also, the cable is also really long which helps to accommodate this.

      If you’re planning to use the POCO F4 GT for general use, the battery can easily last you for a day or more. For long gaming sessions, it will be able to run demanding games for over 6 hours, which is very impressive.

      Gaming Performance

      Sure, the POCO F4 GT may be able to last long while playing games as mentioned in the previous section of this review, but can it run them smoothly? I decided to put the phone to the test by running several games on it. Note that all of these games were ran performance mode with the highest graphics setting.

      POCO F4 GT Review

      PUBG: New State operated above 60 FPS, even when there were explosions and intense gunfighting all around.

      POCO F4 GT Review

      League of Legends: Wild Rift ran very smoothly without any lag, maintaining a consistent 60 FPS at all times.

      POCO F4 GT Review

      Apex Legends was also rather smooth, comfortably running between 40 – 45 FPS without any issues.

      POCO F4 GT Review

      Genshin Impact clocked in between 30 – 40 FPS. Whenever there’s a boss fight or a fight with a lot of enemies and effects flying around the screen, the FPS will drop to 30.

      Overall, the shoulder triggers were really helpful, especially for the shooters. It feels really comfortable to use. No offense to the ROG Phone 5‘s sensor triggers, but you simply can’t replace the feeling of pushing a button.

      Another thing to note is the heat. Genshin Impact did cause the phone to heat up considerably while I was playing it. However, the other games were able to stay relatively warm.

      Closing Thoughts

      With the tagline of “The Apex of Power,” the POCO F4 GT truly lives up to its name. Complete with top-notch battery performance and how smoothly it runs games, it’s basically a handheld gaming console at this point.

      This is definitely one of the better gaming phones out there. The triggers are great to use and playing it while charging isn’t annoying at all! POCO did a fantastic job at designing a phone for gamers, so if you’re mobile gamer, do consider getting one for yourself.

      The POCO F4 GT has an early bird price of RM 1,999 for the 8GB+128GB version and RM 2,199 for the 12GB+256GB version. Visit the POCO online store on Shopee and Lazada to check them out yourself.

      One of the last surviving breed of MacBook gamers, I have learnt to appreciate running games on the lowest graphics setting possible. Prone to crashing, both in-game and on the road. A fan of indie games, because I can't afford anything that is more expensive than a lunch. Follow me on Twitter or email me if you prefer.
