  • LCD screen lacks the deep blacks, high contrast, and peak brightness of AMOLED competitors
  • Lack of Optical Image Stabilization (OIS) leads to shaky 4K videos and mediocre low-light photography
  • Secondary cameras (8MP ultra-wide and 2MP macro) are significantly weaker than the main sensor

Verdict

The POCO X4 GT is a performance-focused smartphone powered by the 5nm MediaTek Dimensity 8100 chipset, featuring 4GB of LPDDR5 RAM and 128GB of high-speed UFS 3.1 storage. It centers around a 6.6-inch "DynamicSwitch" IPS LCD with a flagship-level 144Hz refresh rate, 270Hz touch sampling, and support for Dolby Vision and HDR10. The device is equipped with a 5,080mAh battery supporting 67W turbo charging, a triple rear camera system led by a 64MP main sensor (f/1.89) capable of 4K video, and dual stereo speakers with Dolby Atmos. Its primary strengths lie in its sustained gaming performance, exceptional battery endurance, and the inclusion of a 3.5mm headphone jack and IR blaster. However, notable drawbacks include the lack of an AMOLED panel—resulting in lower peak brightness (650 nits) and less vibrant colors compared to rivals—the absence of an official IP rating for water resistance, and the lack of a microSD slot for storage expansion.
