Poco F4 5G versus Poco F3 GT: Prices, specs, and features compared

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.
