Poco F3 GT is a gaming-focused smartphone and the first one from the company to come with trigger buttons. Poco Nepal brought the F3 GT into the domestic market back in August, which is now enjoying a decent price-cut. Here, we will be discussing the key specifications, features, launch, and official price of the Poco F3 GT in Nepal.

Poco F3 GT Overview:

To note, the phone is largely based on the Redmi K40 Game Enhanced Edition, which is exclusive to China.

Design and Display

Poco F3 GT features a 6.67-inch OLED panel with a 120Hz refresh rate. The touch sampling rate here can hit up to 480Hz when using the onboard shoulder buttons. Moving on, here you are getting a 10-bit display panel boasting over 1 billion colors. In addition, Poco F3 GT has 100% DCI-P3 coverage and HDR10+ support. It is also the first Poco phone to feature an aerospace-grade aluminum frame. Like the front, the company has used Corning Gorilla Glass 5 at the back. F3 GT incorporates three levels of curves for comfortable grip: radial, square, and concave bevels. The latter facilitates comfortable gaming.

Performance and Gaming 

Under the hood, it packs the flagship-level Dimensity 1200 5G SoC. This flagship-grade MediaTek chipset features four Cortex-A78 and four Cortex-A55 CPU cores. It supports HyperEngine 3.0 technology which adds features like ray-tracing. The integrated 5G modem also allows a 5G dual-standby. Keeping the system cool is an 11,540mm² large vapor chamber and aerospace-grade white graphene heat sink. Software-wise you get Game Turbo for GT which enables you to change settings for individual games for the best result. As mentioned earlier, Poco F3 GT is the first smartphone from the brand to feature a trigger button. The GT switches pop open the Maglev triggers. Since these triggers are mechanical in nature, Poco says they offer lower latency and more accurate controls than touch-based air triggers.

Camera

At the back, we see a minimal camera bump enclosing the triple camera setup. The bump has a metal enclosing that protects the lenses from scratches and reduces wobble when placed on a flat surface. You also get the Tactical RGB Glow around the module that alerts users of notifications while also adding to the gaming aesthetics of the phone. Poco has even spiced up the LED flash by giving it a lightning-like shape. Coming to the camera specs, Poco F3 GT has a 64MP primary sensor joined by an 8MP ultrawide and a 2MP macro unit. Upfront you get a 16MP sensor enclosed inside the punch-hole.
