Poco X4 GT review

Sort by:

GSMA, can you please post the camera sensors in reviews? Specs aren't everything; knowing whether it's a Sony, Samsung or OmniVision sensor, and the variant, is useful.

      Isn't Realme GT Neo 3 priced similarly? Same soc dimensity 8100, it's the closest rival.

            Dear GSMArena,

            I really hope you update the 3G talk time to 4G talk time, as 3G shutdown were already happening in many countries. 4G talk time is the more relevant, and will be the relevant metric.

              Despite the lack of OIS, the main camera is actually better than POCO F4 in the photo comparison tool. 😙

              Do we know what is the sensor used?

                Crazy Weirdo, 07 Jul 2022I swear you're obsessed with LCD displays. Like gurl, ... moreGood IPS panels don’t have ghosting issues.

                OLEDs are great and I prefer them too, but people are obsessed with them even while they too have issues…

                  Crazy Weirdo, 07 Jul 2022I swear you're obsessed with LCD displays. Like gurl, ... moreSo you resort to name calling instead of challenging any of my talking points with proper discourse

                  Come on man why do people love to default to ad hominems

                  "Just because YOU prefer LCDs, doesn't mean the latter is superior"

                  Look at this straw man .. I gave a logically breakdown as to why I feel LCD is superior in a particular subject (DC dimming) matter and here we have a translator ignore all of that to spin the narrative on my personal preferences smh

                    Best in segment hats off poco

                      IpsDisplay, 07 Jul 2022So the ignorance on display technology continues "... moreI swear you're obsessed with LCD displays. Like gurl, calm down.
                      OLED displays are BETTER and you need to deal with that fact. Just because YOU prefer LCDs, doesn't mean the latter is superior.
                      From my personal experience, I've always had problems with ghosting whenever I used an LCD so...

                        Knowing Xiaomi and their endless realeses, they probably gonna release a similar phone with amoled phone.
                        Just wait a month or two.

                          Deal Breakers & cons;

                          -plastic frame ewl allumium stronger
                          -flat screen ewl curved better with side punchhole
                          -side mounted fingerprint ouch under display ✔️
                          -poor software support with bugs sh#t
                          -ips display 😱 bleeding blue light screen
                          -miui ads
                          -history of random brics like poco x3 pro

                            Have you tested it with android auto? My F4 refuses to work

                              So the ignorance on display technology continues

                              "though, since local dimming is inferior to the one offered by OLED panels"

                              I really wonder about that..

                              SMH.. it's currently impossible for OLED to do full seem DC dimming but somehow no matter what the narrative must always favour OLED..

                              And even if you want to argue otherwise LCD generally doesn't have to worry about low Hz PWM most of the times so not sure why the tone or implication of superiority is coming from when DC dimming is there to help with a FLAW very present in OLED...

                              Are we forgetting that at low brightness.. voltages can literally change color emitted on an OLED.. if anything DC dimming is much better on LCD.... With a backlight..

                              What do you guys even mean by Dolby vision won't be "OLED -level" that not even an industry standard of measure thats not how Dolby vision certifications work .. the certification is based on any display being able to meet X criteria.. SMH

                              The X4 GT is even an entire 10hrs more on your endurance rating Vs the GT neo 3 this LCD panel must be Hella efficient Vs the OLED on the neo


                              And we still keep hearing about "deep blacks": but no nuisance if the deep black is detrimental crushes/destroys shadow details

                              Only on DXO mark we get thorough enough display reviews that actually informs readers of different display level quality even amongst OLED

                              Will OLED displays ever be judged individually by each smartphones merits and not as a brand symbol equal to the Apple logo??? within the tech enthusiast space .. it will never happen it seems

                                Why is there no mention of video stabilisation in this review? It is something that is mentioned in all reviews and is surely an important feature of video quality. I assume there is no stabilization at all at 4k, like on the Chinese version of this phone, but it isn't mentioned at all here
