POCO, Xiaomi’s sub-brand, unveiled on Tuesday LITTLE F4 GTa mobile phone that opens the POCO F4 series and furthermore focuses on a very specific market segment: gamer.
To understand this mobile phone, before even talking about its technical characteristics, it is necessary to do two scores which provide some context:
- The fact that this mobile phone is called POCO F4 GT and not just POCO F4 suggests that, unlike previous years, we will see other variants of the POCO F4 series in the future.
- In addition, this phone focuses on the market games In such an obvious way, it also suggests that there will be another POCO F4 for those people who do not need those characteristic elements that this phone has.
So this mobile phone should not be seen as a successor to POCO F3 which gave such good results to the Chinese company. Actually, it’s kind of spin off. This real successor to POCO F3, although Xiaomi has not yet confirmed it, will probably appear later.
Why is POCO F4 GT made for gamers?
In this context, what does the POCO F4 GT offer to captivate an audience that spends hours playing on their phone? Basically three things:
- Qualcomm’s most advanced processor. That is: Snapdragon 8 Gen 1. Almost all high-end mobile phones of 2022 are equipped with this processor. But what’s important about this chip isn’t just the level of performance it’s capable of delivering. Also important in such a gaming-centric mobile phone is the work that Qualcomm is doing with many video game developers to ensure their games are specifically optimized for these chips.
- Magnetic physical triggers. POCO has implemented a pretty clever trigger system. There are two sliders on the side of the POCO F4 GT that make the two magnetic triggers appear with a pretty good touch. According to POCO, they have been optimized to work properly with over 100 games. When no game is running, you can easily hide them.
- Screen with excellent response. On the screen, parameters such as image quality or resolution always have weight. But on mobile games like the POCO F4 GT, panel responsiveness becomes even more important than image fidelity. POCO, knowing this, has installed a panel that refreshes at a maximum frequency of 120Hz and, in addition, has a 480Hz touch panel, so it detects any touch on the screen faster.
Also take care of the details
But dignity LITTLE F4 GT they don’t end there. There are many other details in the phone that are clearly intended for the world. games. For example:
- The speakers of POCO F4 GT are positioned in such a way that they do not interfere with the operation of the phone in a horizontal position (in games).
- The charging cable has an L-shaped connector, so you can play video games while your phone is charging without the cable getting in the way.
- The download speed, on the other hand, is one of the fastest, if not the fastest, on the market. It can reach up to 120W, which is even higher than a laptop like MacBook Pro. games, this technology is of particular importance because the battery drains quickly when the phones are used for gaming. According to POCO, the phone charges from 0 to 100% in 27 minutes if it’s gaming and 17 minutes if it’s idle.
- Another key factor for games it’s cooling. Otherwise, the chip slows down after a while. In this POCO F4 GT we don’t have an extravagant fan solution, but the brand has implemented a LiquidCool 3.0 system that promises to “dissipate” as much heat as possible.
