Hey guys! So today I’m going to be talking about the Poco f3 GT so finally after waiting for more than two years we are getting a Poco F series smartphone over here in India I am really excited to try this phone out. It offers some really good specifications, let's go ahead and unbox this smartphone in our super chill way. Thanks to my friend who recently purchased it and agreed to let me do the unboxing. All right first up inside the box we get a little sleeve and inside this sleeve there is a sim card ejector tool then some paperwork which is always boring. Interesting to know that there is a USB type-c to headphone jack dongle because this phone does not come with the headphone jack and that is kind of sad but yeah you do get the dongle inside the box apart from that there is a clear transparent case and this is a normal tpu case nothing exciting over here let's keep this aside next up is the smartphone itself. My first impression is that this phone is extremely good looking and kind of heavy as well but the looks are just you know next level man this looks really good what's the color name so this is called gun metal silver oh my god this one look absolutely beautiful… like it looks like a proper gaming smartphone.
So first off we have the 67 watt fast charger
67 watts that is just you know impressive apart from that there is also the USB
type-c cable and this time it is in yellow color I don't know why so i just
noticed that the charging cable like the USB type-c port has a right angle so
this is going to be very good for gamers and it is going to be durable as well
so if that's why the charging cable is different now first up let me go ahead
and quickly try on the case all right the case fits on pretty snugly now as
soon as the phone boots up you can see that there is me uh 12.5 over here so
that is a good sign it is now time to set up the fingerprint sensor it has a
physical fingerprint sensor on the right side of the phone that is integrated
into the power button. When xiaomi introduced Poco to us they said that this
brand is going to focus on the enthusiast category of the market so people who
want the best specifications the latest technology and all the works so Poco
started off as an enthusiast brand but then they diversified into all sorts of
products because that is good business strategy but this year they've launched
a couple of products which are focused on the enthusiast category number Number
one is the Poco x3 pro which is an awesome smartphone I have not reviewed it
yet but if you want me to. Drop a comment down and I’ll do and then this one
the Poco f3 GT now which makes the Poco f3 GT a smartphone for the enthusiasts
as well a lot of things.
Processor & Display
First and foremost is the processor this
smartphone comes with the Dimensity 1200 5g processor which is an awesome one
for the price at which this phone is expected for so we all know that this
Phone starts at just 26,000 /- and for that Dimensity 1200 is one of the best
processors out there it also has a fast ram and fast storage so that is no
issue as well on the display side of things it comes with a full HD plus super
AMOLED 120 HZ display which shows a billion colors and has support for HDR 10
plus as well the display on this smartphone is excellent really good viewing
angles it gets bright enough the colors are accurate and you will have an
excellent time while watching media on this smartphone and also while gaming I
like the display a lot on the Poco f3 GT now this is also a 120 HZ display and Dimensity
1200 is more than capable of handling the 120 HZ refresh rate I did not notice
any frame drops in my initial testing period which is a good sign now.
Battery & Design
what about the battery? an enthusiast smartphone needs a big battery right this phone comes with a 5000 MAH battery which will easily last you throughout the day and some part of the next day as well and the cherry on the cake over here is the charging this phone has 67 watt fast charging and yes the brick is provided inside the box itself like in 15 minutes it will charge your phone up to 50 percent that is just crazy now the Poco team did say that the cable inside the box is different because this is a 6 ampere cable and this is required for 67 watt fast charging now if I just show you this phone and do not tell you anything about it like just by the design of this smartphone what are you gonna think about it well my first impressions are that this is a very different smartphone and this is clearly for someone who is looking for a gaming centric smartphone so the design language is definitely very different and yes it is centered towards the gamers out there are little touches here and there in the design which definitely help while gaming the main gaming centric feature over here are the maglev triggers so this smartphone has two physical triggers so when you just pop them up there are two physical buttons which can be used while gaming and I’m very sure that these buttons are going to be extremely helpful while gaming now my friend don't game a lot but whenever he does play BGMI these buttons are going to be very handy and yes these are physical buttons so there's no latency over here these are not air triggers or capacitive buttons these are physical buttons and yes that is an excellent thing it also has two physical LEDS on the back side now you can customize these LEDS for your notifications when it's charging and for some other things as well these LEDS look super cool and i particularly like them this flash logo is also in the flash shape like that's a very small thing but an excellent touch.
Build
Now as far as the build quality goes, I am not disappointed over here, there is glass on the back and front and it also comes with a metal frame so the metal frame is highly appreciated over here also the back panel has this matte finish it is not glossy and I do appreciate that it comes in two colors silver and black and the black one is definitely way better than the silver one looks cool but black is just next level.
Camera
All right it is now time to talk about one of my favorite things in any smartphone that is the cameras so on the rear side there is a triple camera setup a 64-megapixel primary camera and 8-megapixel ultrawide angle camera and finally a macro camera as far as my initial impressions go the cameras do seem impressive the dynamic range the detail level the colors the white balance everything seems impressive as far as my initial impressions go the ultra-wide-angle camera has a very good perspective and you can fit a lot in the frame. on the front side of things, there's a 16-megapixel camera over here, initial impressions are good about the front camera as well.
Sound
The Poco f3 GT also comes with stereo speakers and these speakers are very impressive they do not distort and the sound is clear now they are not very loud as such but they are clear and I would any day prefer a clear sounding speaker over a loud sounding speaker I hope you get my point as far as the headphone jack goes this smartphone does not have that you do get the USB type c to headphone jack dongle inside the box but that is an inconvenience I would have loved to see the headphone jack over here that would have been awesome so yeah coming back to the main point by the looks of it this smartphone is going to look like a gaming smartphone but to be honest anyone can buy this smartphone because it is offering a lot of great things it's not like this smartphone is only meant for the enthusiast crowd out there anyone can buy this smartphone if they're looking for a smartphone in that price range and I'm pretty sure that they will be happy with this Phone.
My Final Verdict
I won't get into the discussion that is it better than Oneplus Nord 2 or not. Well, that discussion is due for some other blog. The Poco f3 Gt is one hell of a device at the price at which it is being offered. You can get it for as cheap as 26k with the initial offer and for that it is pretty impressive. Even if you are not a gamer you will love the device. I find the camera a little underperforming but that can be fixed with software updates and even if it doesn't you can use a google camera mod which is already available. That's it for this blog. Cheers!!!
