Poco F3 GT Design
The Poco F3 GT is definitely one of the unique-looking smartphones in this segment. This smartphone almost has a gaming-phone-like finish with physical trigger buttons, metal frame along with the Corning Gorilla Glass 5 sandwich design. The device has a 6.67-inch AMOLED display with FHD+ resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate.
Poco F3 GT Hardware Performance
The Poco F3 GT is powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 1200 SoC, the same processor that also powers the Realme X7 Max, OnePlus Nord 2, and the Oppo Reno 6 Pro. This is the most powerful SoC from MTK and is paired with 6/8GB RAM and 128/256GB UFS 3.1 class memory. Hence, the phone should be able to handle normal tasks and gaming without any issue.
Poco F3 GT Camera Perfomance
The Poco F3 GT has a triple camera setup at the rear with a 68MP primary sensor with support for 4K video recording capability. This smartphone has a dedicated 8MP selfie camera along with a 2MP macro lens. At the front, the device has a 16MP selfie camera with 1080p HD video recording capability.
Poco F3 GT Price To Specs Ratio
Poco India has gone for a different approach, where, the phone costs Rs. 25,999 in the first week, 26,499 in the second week, and will finally retail for Rs. 26,999 from the third week for the base model with 6GB RAM and 128GB internal storage. For the asking price, the device does deliver great value for money. Unlike the Realme X7 Max or the OnePlus Nord 2, there is no 12GB RAM variant, which is a bummer.
Poco F3 GT Important Features/Highlights
The Poco F3 GT comes with a massive 5065 mAh battery with support for 67W fast charging, where, the phone can charge from 0 to 50 percent in just 15 minutes, and the fast charger is included in the box. The smartphone also has an IP53 rating, which makes it splash-resistant. Lastly, it also has a stereo speaker setup with support for Dolby Atmos.
Poco F3 GT Verdict
The Poco F3 GT comes at a very competitive segment, where, the device has to compete against the likes of the offerings from Oppo, Realme, and OnePlus. However, the device does have a few features that give it an edge over the other smartphones of this class. This definitely feels like the Poco F series smartphone that we have been waiting for since the launch of the Poco F1.

Rating a smartphone is a tedious process and a lot of parameters have to be considered before judging the overall performance of the device such as display, camera, processor, RAM, storage, battery, and the pricing.
So, here are how these specs will affect the real-life usage of a device and why how we meticulously consider each of these points to rate a smartphone.
Cameras have evolved a lot over the last few years and multi-camera setup is a new norm. We consider various parameters like MP count, aperture size, pixel size, image stabilization to rate a camera system of a smartphone out of 5. Any device that scores more than 3.5 can take good photos and videos and if a phone scores over 4, then it will be one of the best camera smartphones in the market.
Though battery seems like an underrated feature and we look at the battery capacity, fast charging supporting technology, and even the wireless charging capability is also taken into consideration to rate smartphone's battery capability.
The display is the face of a smartphone. And there are a lot of parameters like the panel technology (IPS LCD, OLED, TFT) and other parameters also taken into consideration like the resolution, pixel density, and refresh rate.
A smartphone could have great specs, but if it is not priced well then you might not get the best value-for-money. So, we compare a smartphone with the contemporaries to rate the value-for-money of a device out of 5.
This aspect is decided on various sub specifics, such as availability of microSD card slot, the amount of RAM the device offers, processor capability, and the network support. This parameter has more weightage when compared to other departments.
