Poco F4 5G, at least on paper, seems like a lot of phone for a lot less money. It’s got a powerful chip, beautiful display, 64MP main camera with OIS, and 67W quick charging, all for under and around Rs 30,000. The F4 maybe Poco’s answer to the iQOO Neo 6 and soon-to-launch OnePlus Nord 2T, but it’s competing with its own sibling—the Poco F3 GT— too, at least in terms of all-round value proposition.
Let’s not beat around the bush. The F3 GT is more powerful than the F4 (but not by much), but the GT is also a gaming phone first and therefore it’s built that way whether it be in design or feature set. So, that makes choosing between the two a bit easier.
The F4 is more of an all-rounder, if we were to sum things up for you, which is to say it should appeal to more people. Here, we pit the two phones against each other and see how they stack up against each other: Design: Poco F4 5G has a glass back and plastic frame. This is a flat-edged phone from get-go.
It weighs 195g, but it is relatively slim at 7. 7mm. The Poco F3 GT is a gaming phone through and through.
It has a sharp-looking rear made of glass – this is Corning Gorilla Glass 5 – and accent lighting around the camera module. The outer frame is made of metal. Rounding off the package are physical shoulder buttons or Maglev triggers.
These are retractable which is to say you can invoke them at a press of a button. At 205g and 8. 3mm, it is a bit heavier and thicker than the F4.
