As a stop gap before I pick either Galaxy S23 next year or Pixel 7 Pro, I've decided to treat myself with an Android phone after using iPhone for 4 years (not because I hate it, I just want to try something different again).
And I've in the end decided for Poco X4 GT. It's one of those cheap and cheerful phones that I haven't used for many many years. It's basically what "flagship killers" used to be in the past. Very powerful chipset for a budget price with rest of components that were on decent enough level that they weren't problematic. And because it was so cheap, I've also grabbed Xiaomi Band 7 Pro to go along with it. For a 465€ bundle, I think it's pretty sweet deal. And I even got the 256GB black version of X4 GT for less than 128GB version of any color. Which is weird, but I'll take it lol.
Can't wait to get back on Android bandwagon and see if anything improve in these years while I was using excellent iPhone.

The disadvantage of mediatek processors is how powerful and compete they are to a snapdragon processors, just look at that video specs, can only shoot 4K@30fps and 1080P@120fps slowmo, next time focus also on video not only on gaming performance, its so happy to see that it can also shoot 4K@60fps and 1080P@240fps or better 1080P@960fps not 720P slowmo

Debbie, 03 Oct 2022Want to buy this phone
Xiaomi Poco x4 GT user's want... moreUsed this for about a month now. For me, despite being LCD, the display is amazing at indoor settings. You can only tell the difference by comparing it to OLED phone side by side. Even then, for me it's just the black is not as 'deep' enough, but definitely not a dealbreaker.
Of course, using it under direct strong sunlight will be somewhat annoying with its limited brightness level.
Battery life is great, with moderate usage I can easily get 6hrs SOT. So great compared to my old Mi 11. But still can't beat iP13PM (but it's too heavy!)
Price to performance wise, I think this is one of the best currently available. Or at least in where I live.

I'm headache sensitive and took a punt on the X4 GT pre-review. I haven't noticed any of the issues I have with OLED screens, typically headache/eye strain.
I also own a iPad Mini 5, equally no probs with high frequency flicker under 25% brightness.
So whether I'm low PWM sensitive or just don't get on with OLED I've never been certain.

50 khz is very fast. Maybe it's not even PWM but something else causing it. Still compared to other phones it is a flicker. Hope we can get more detailed measurements

LordSaeed, 09 Oct 2022How many updates does Poco X4 GT get?
Does it take Android 14?Well, it should receive 13 before 14. Maybe you're thinking about MIUI 14?
Anyway, this phone status is very confusing. If you download MIUI Updater app, that supposedly checkes that, it says it will receive MIUI 14 but not Android 13, so it would receive an Android 12 based MIUI 14, which is annoying and weird, since it has been out for just a few months. Only time will say.
I will be very disappointed if it doesn't get Android 13, although the magnificent battery life will make it less painful, I guess 🤦♂️
