Poco F4 GT review

Anonymous, 27 Apr 2022for this price terrible battery life.. not even close 100h ... moreMost of the flagships are around same number. IPhone 13, Galaxy S22, Xperia 1 III and so on. But, they are at least double the price of POCO. Galaxy S22 Ultra and iPhone 13 Pro Max are over 100 h, but triple the price of POCO. And nowhere near POCO's charging speed. AND you don't have to buy propper charging brick. I mean, you can recharge POCO while taking a quick shower and have a 100% battery in the middle of the day.
For 500 € I wouldn't complain too much.

    Anonymous, 27 Apr 2022for this price terrible battery life.. not even close 100h ... moreTake these numbers with a grain of salt. My Galaxy S20+ has 87h on arena. But, it gets me through the day with no problems. And is a second hand bought phone. So, I am guessing the battery is not more than 85-90% health.
    Also, just a bad software update can decrease these numbers instantly. My past Realme GT Neo 2 had one of the best battery life on any phone on the market (according to Dxomark ranking anyway). On the same level with iPhone 13 Pro Max. After it updated to Realme 3.0 that battery was at the same level with my past iPhone 12 (in other words average at best).
    Bottom line, don't based your purchase solely on some numbers on a piece of paper.

          Little Penguin , 26 Apr 2022This cannot be serious. 700 euros? - Less than 400ppi ... morem waiting for the dimensity9000 version with a cheaper
          price and many other added features due to its chip set

            Naveen Chaudhary, 27 Apr 2022Poor speakers? Means I have to wait for Black Shark 5The speakers are pretty good but i compared them to the Xiaomi 10s in a store. The 10s sounds better but the 10s is the best Xiaomi phone for speakers so that's comparing against the best one (excluding black shark)

              Poor speakers? Means I have to wait for Black Shark 5

                for this price terrible battery life.. not even close 100h ..... fail

                  Well, it's a nice phone for 500 €. Remember, Redmi Note 11 Something, Something is close to 400 €.
                  Main issue is this SD 8 gen 1. It's worm, throttling as hell, expensive. Why not save a few bucks with SD 870 and invest it in OIS on the main camera, or a telephoto one? Yes, it would be an "old" chip, but a better one. What's the point having the strongest chip, but on 60% power?!

                    Pumpino, 27 Apr 2022It's interesting how phones with the IMX686 used to co... moreI like MIUI. But I absolutely hate how this and last years' models were barely optimised that nothing works proeprly.
                    8 RAM LPDDR5 and SD888 yet my lock sounds are 5 seconds delayed? Really?! SHowing 100% for 30mins of use, then at 15% it drains fast because they think they can fool us into believing the battery has longer than it does? Just calibrate it properly!

                      The review says con - no telephoto camera. Why would you want another 2MP telephoto camera? The wideangle and macro cams are throwaway features, its better to beef up the main camera instead, better camera ISP software, better nightmode, better video, anything else is better instead of adding another useless camera module.

                        It's interesting how phones with the IMX686 used to come with flagships and produce amongst the best photos, whereas now they're in midrangers and don't perform as well. I'm not sure if it's because newer sensors have raised expectations and results or if OEMs are deliberately gimping the IMX686 so that people don't get a great camera for a low price.

                        Xiaomi has dropped the ball with hardware this year. People used to buy Xiaomi for the hardware vs price ratio and then flash a custom ROM to get rid of the horrible MIUI. Now there's really no point.

                          There is also no OIS for the cameras in 2022 for an expensive flagship! What a joke! The way how Xiaomi cuts corner is just too much. Furthermore, SD8 Gen 1 is made by Samsung and it has heating issues.

                                  at least put up 5000 mah battery that most typical battery life you should put in smartphone gaming because with snp 8 gen 1 it will generate super high heat even with their cooling system wont give much help because of capabilty of snp 8 gen 1 is too powerful and it will effect your battery draining and consume your battery life percentage like open your boxer in front of someoen wife 🐔🌚other than that pretty acceptable specs since it a gaming centric smartphone .after all.

                                    Ryan47, 26 Apr 2022Just buy a Poco f3 for 200 pound and have a better phone Galaxy S7 is way better phone

                                      Just buy a Poco f3 for 200 pound and have a better phone

                                        That's a weak performance for gaming phone and it's so expensive. And you didn't mention it has USB 2.0 only!
