Poco F3 GT announced with Dimensity 1200, maglev triggers and 67W charging

Poco just announced its F3 GT smartphone which shares plenty of ques with Xiaomi’s Redmi K40 Gaming Edition. The two gamer enhanced devices share identical bodies down to the weight and size.

There’s a 6.67-inch 10-bit AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate and FHD+ resolution upfront. The selfie cam sits in a centered punch-hole cutout up top. Gorilla Glass 5 covers both the front and back of the F3 GT while the right-hand side features physical pop-up gaming triggers.

MediaTek’s Dimensity 1200 sits at the helm aided by 6/8GB dual-channel UFS 3.1 RAM and 128/256GB UFS 3.1 storage. Helping keep thermals in check is a larger vapor chamber complete with a white graphene heat sink. Poco is also bringing Game Turbo which lets you fine-tune performance during game sessions.
