A tweaked Redmi K50 Gaming has gone global, launching outside China as the POCO F4 GT.

That means you get the flagship-level hardware of the Redmi device, mainly targeting gamers, especially with a design that incorporates RGB lighting and magnetic pop-up triggers that can be custom-tuned for games. You get other gaming-centric features like symmetrical quad speakers, an X-axis linear motor for haptics, and LiquidCool technology 3.0, which has two vapor chambers with one of the biggest surface areas for dispersing the heat.

#POCOF4GT comes with three stunning colors inspired by hardcore gaming elements!

Available color variants

At the heart of the POCO F4 GT is a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 5G chipset paired with up to 12GB of RAM — a first for the brand — and a maximum of 256GB of storage. The 6.7-inch AMOLED screen is highly rated, boasting 120Hz adaptive-refresh and 480Hz touch-sampling rates, and should be durable, thanks to Corning Gorilla Glass Victus.

Of course, there’s support for Xiaomi‘s 120W HyperCharge quick-charging tech as well. That makes the POCO F4 GT’s 4,700mAh battery faster to charge, making it possible to top it up from 0% to 100% in just 17 minutes.

A 64-megapixel triple camera on the back, a 20-megapixel selfie shooter, and Android 12-based MIUI 13 round out the phone’s specs.

How much is the POCO F4 GT?

Besides the 12GB/256GB model, there’s also an 8GB/128GB version. In Europe, the two memory configurations of the newly launched POCO phone are priced at €599 (roughly P33,366 or $639) and €699 (P38,936 or $746), respectively. Availability begins April 28 till May 7, depending on the region.

We have good news for interested buyers in the Philippines: You can now buy any of the two variants of the F4 GT from Lazada and Shopee for only P24,390 ($467) and P27,990 ($536), respectively. The early-bird offers are valid until May 12 only. Starting May 13, the base model of the handset will retail at P27,590 ($529), while the higher-specced one will cost P30,990 ($594). Still, the prices are definitely competitive.
