There's a video review in Gizmochin*(redmi note 11t pro) it explains all the features and I think it's an honest review. I compare X4GT against my durable MiMax2 and for the early bird price is a very good option with all these high prices nowadays. In my european country there's a difference of 200€ (same version 8/256gb) between X4GT and Realme GT Neo 3 (549€) on early bird price. And 200€ is too much.

You never stop hearing how there is light bleeding on smartphone LCD panels around punch holes or worse viewing angles
But you NEVER hear anyone talking about the distracting rainbow effect at an angle from OLED
Keep up the love for LCD bro don't let them preach the OLED worshipping to you

mindsetblindado, 08 Jul 2022My old phone is a Xiaomi Mi 5s (IPS LCD screen). I've ... more>> People saying AMOLED display is MUCH BETTER than IPS LCD, people complaining about not having enough brightness outdoors, etc. But now seeing your comment made me realize that it's all about preference.
Yes, there are phones with terrible LCD IPS display. I'm talking about the ones with 400 nits of brightness and with low pixel density. Those are terrible. The display Poco X4 GT has, is one of the best LCD IPS there.
And yes, it's true that IPS LCD is not as visible under direct sunlight as (AM)OLEDs, but they are visible more than enough that you can surf, text and literally do everything on the go. I don't know about the others, but I'm not watching movies/TV shows when I'm outside and under direct sunlight so having LCD IPS isn't even a problem for me.
>> And the things you've mentioned about durability and not using a smartphone to watch that many content makes perfect sense to me. People don't actually need this "deeper black" thing.
I think (AM)OLED displays are underdeveloped thing. Or that it's made like that on purpose; lower the lifespan of the device and expensive display replacement will make people buy the new device rather then fix their old. Could be marketing strategy...
>> So the "only weakness" I can see in this phone is the lack of image stabilization when shooting a video at 4K30fps. Again this is not a big deal for me but would be nice to have this feature.
Yeah, I wish this phone had OIS like F4 and at least some IP rating, but it's not the end of the world. My current Xperia has neither of this and it's fine.
Regarding image stabilization, Dimensity 8100 is beyond capable of stabilization on 4K@30fps. It's just Xiaomi didn't include stabilization in the camera department. I hope they release an update with EIS for 4K.
>> With that in mind, now more than never I'm sure that buying this phone was a GREAT choice. Thank you for your comment, it was a great addition to this post.
Look at this, this way; you bought the device that could last way longer than any (AM)OLED phone out there. That's simply a fact. It may not be the brightest like (AM)OLED but it will definitely serve you a long time without any issues.
And, I'm starting to ask myself. Yes, (AM)OLEDs have higher brightness than LCD IPS. But why does that matter when you can't use it long on high brightness. Higher the brightness of (AM)OLED display, the sooner it will have burn-in. It's like bragging about owning the fastest car, but you can't use it's full potential because there are speed limits.

IPS is a major plus for me, been using Oled lately on Switch and F3 and really hates it compared with IPS. That flicker, clor prism effect when tilting and bad medium low brightness. Also white on IPS still spectacular. Still have my X3 around and still blown away with IPS whenever I open the phone.

Zero, 08 Jul 2022Sorry if I am insistent, but those are the Global versions?... moreAt least in Spain, it's listed as Spanish version. As far as I know, Amazon Spain doesn't sell the Chinese versions with Google play store added later. Mine will arrive next week (from Amazon Spain) and I'm pretty sure I will be able to use Google pay, baking apps, etc

"It just not on par with the majority of competing OLED-equipped solutions"
This is OBJECTIVELY incorrect
If just do some basic school level research we know
1) this LCD has 1 billion colors display support
Which is virtually exclusive to the FLAGSHIP class OLED this alone is competitive with its immediate peers and more
2)It receives A+ rating which even if you don't consider them reputable... At a certification level this is pretty rare for a mobile LCD even on such a grounds it's amongst the best
3)Color accuracy de 1.4 just like on the S22 ULTRA in their own review
4)Lastly 7 stage refresh rate which is virtually completely missing in its OLED rivals in its price bracket
5) FULL RGB so it is sharper than any other modern smartphone OLED running diamond pentile
6) 10 times more touch resolution ..
7 hardware level blue light reduction.. no yellowing in might mode.. which is so rare amongst displays
Look at all these high tier points but some how this display doesn't match up to OLED rivals???
What because of only two points:
1)no deep blacks
2)lower peak brightness
People call me a LCD zealot but you must have some crazy OLED love affair to blatantly deny research and all the objective information

This is a similar scenario like movies
Critics only understand technicalities of storytelling but don't understand audiences themselves
You would think with all the years gsmarena has under there belt they would think that maybe there is an audience for LCD panels..

Anonymous, 08 Jul 2022So this phone is not recommended because it has LCD IPS and... moreMy old phone is a Xiaomi Mi 5s (IPS LCD screen). I've never had a phone with AMOLED display and that made me think POCO X4 GT was a great option for its price. After buying it on pre-sale and seeing a lot reviews like this one I've started getting concerned about my choice. People saying AMOLED display is MUCH BETTER than IPS LCD, people complaining about not having enough brightness outdoors, etc. But now seeing your comment made me realize that it's all about preference. And the things you've mentioned about durability and not using a smartphone to watch that many content makes perfect sense to me. People don't actually need this "deeper black" thing.
So the "only weakness" I can see in this phone is the lack of image stabilization when shooting a video at 4K30fps. Again this is not a big deal for me but would be nice to have this feature.
With that in mind, now more than never I'm sure that buying this phone was a GREAT choice. Thank you for your comment, it was a great addition to this post.
