- Unboxing the Poco F4 GT gamer smartphone, a 2022 rebrand of Xiaomi's Redmi K50 Gaming Edition, with full Genshin Impact tests and a hands-on review of the rest. From its 64MP camera to the slick AMOLED screen, the Poco F4 GT phone boasts impressive specs. All from 599 Euros, not a bad price at all.
You can grab one now here in Europe: gozbx.com/r/JWMg7sLUFVm6
For PubG, CoDM and Genshin, this gaming handset boasts some of the best performance on a budget. You have Xiaomi's Game Turbo mode like other MiUI smartphones, plus quick-release shoulder triggers, LED lighting and other bonus bits. The Poco F4 GT serves up a 4700mAh battery with 120W fast charge, an HDR10 Plus AMOLED screen, stereo speakers (or a 'quad speaker' arrangement as Poco states), and MiUI 13 features. This includes a dedicated gamer mode which includes the same tools as other Xiaomi phones.
Of course, like many such blowers, the camera tech feels like a secondary consideration. You can get decent enough pics with the Poco F4 GT as long as you don't push it, but the main reasons to buy this smartphone are the performance and dedicated features.
Check out my reviews of other budget friendly gaming phones such as the Black Shark 4 Pro, Red Magic etc. But this Xiaomi rebrand is certainly one of the best in 2022 - what do you reckon?

Komi san 😄yes indeed
That's what I'm talking about
Yup
Komi change
Yes he is and he has been so for a looooooong time
Thank you for your review on this phone. Because of it, I upgraded from a tired Huawei P30 pro and so far have to say am suitably impressed. Ok the camera isn't as good as the P30 but it's better in every other way. The 17 minute charging speed is out of this world!! Keep up the good work, love watching your review videos!
Be careful overusing fast charge, cripples your battery on the long run, I would just use it when in need.
@@Skiddog. yeah I've found this out myself. I tend to use my old Huawei charger now most of the time and the battery lasts so much longer during the day. The fast charger is great but the battery percentage drops so fast.
@@Westierules2000 i think thas just placebo no? what that guy meant was that the batterie gets weaker faster in some years
@@Westierules2000Huawei is Chinese trash they are legit part of the Chinese government
Always love watching your vids bro!
I recently had to say goodbye to my four year old Huawei P10 because it took a bit of dive and met with a cruel fate. Since that happened I have spent weeks researching phones and comparing the specs and drawbacks etc and still haven't come to a conclusion. 😂 However, Poco and Xiaomi phones have started to look very attractive to me because of the bang for buck you get in terms of specs and style.
I just have reservations about support and quality.
It's nice to be able to watch a no-bs tech reviewer though, so thank you, Mr.Spurt. Your videos have helped me in eliminating certain phones and totting up the drawbacks etc.
Have a look at the Xiaomi 11T Pro, it's a pretty great phone. Poco F3 is also a lovely Xiaomi phone that the community adores. Can't go wrong with neither.
still using my p10 I bought 5 years ago 😌
@@vamheredur413 Thanks for your recommendations. The Xiaomi/Poco phones are looking quite attractive to me, especially as there is potential to extend their software support with a custom ROM.
@@rayyanchaudhry5324 It is a good phone, to be fair. Decent cameras (with pro mode and support for RAW), decent screen res, SD card slot, headphone jack, physical fingerprint scanner, fast charging and the Kirin chip still performed quite well after a few years.
I was almost tempted to just buy another but, I thought that if I am going to buy a new phone then I may as well get something that is a bit of an upgrade.
Hello there! I so bloody love all your reviews.
love your review style
clear and concise, not to serious and easygoing kind of review
I bought this phone last week. I'm so happy with this phone except the very fast and strong specs it's so smooth and software experience is so good. A lot of good features on it. It feels like my OnePlus 7 when I bought. So happy I really recommend this.
Please upgrade to 60fps. Otherwise awesome as always :)
Wow,great Specs for Poco F4 GT, I'll be upgrading soon.Great Review Thanks 👍👍👍😊😊😊
Thanks bro! That's what I am waiting.🥰🥰🥰 love your videos......
Amazing unboxing keep it up as always Chris Sir
I got the early bird special on the 12 + 256 GB version for $530 USD. The ONLY thing missing from it is an IP68 rating, it does have IP53. But it's a $900-$1500 phone for less than $550. You can't beat that.
How are you liking the phone so far?
@@adammorra3813 the battery drain so fast in gaming. Overheating is major drawback.
Other than that, it is worth it.
@@Asfahanee i dont think is worth it if u compare it with other gaming phone's at that price ( like u can get the BlackShark 4 pro for the same price with 12GB RAM AND 256GB STORAGE unlike F4GT with only 8GB RAM AND 126GB STORAGE ) and even if the BlackSHark 4 pro have an cpu sp 888 unlike the F4GT with the newest SP8 GEN 1 the BlackShark 888 processor is better cuz it doesnt heat like the F4GT AND U CAN PLAY GAMES LONGER WITHOUT ANY FRAMEDROPS ( On the f4GT the processor overheat and the frames are Dropping much when u play HARDCORE games like Genshin IMPACT for more then 20 minutes but on the BlackShark it doesnt heat as much) Plus the BlackShark 4 pro gives U 90 FPS IN PUBG AND THE F4GT ONLY GIVES U 60 FPS also blackshark 4 pro have gaming Triggers and good stereo speackers (also an better display) too and both phones have 120W FAST CHARGING but the Blackshark 4 pro have an 144HZ DISPLAY VS F4GT WITH ONLY 120HZ soo yeah ( but if u want a big battery and also better cameras ill recommand u the RedMagic 6 pro it beats both blackshark and f4gt but Overall I FIND THE BLACKSHARK 4 PRO A BIT BETTER THEN POCOF4 GT since they both similar but blackshark is a bit more stabile in hard games for longer time
@@damiangemanaru2128 Regard to Black shark Last OS update was August 2021 on the Black shark 4
It's £399 in the UK currently. 800 nits display and the 8 gen 1 is the turn off. If it came with the + model I'd go for it
Finally waited for this review
First up you have one of the best casts ( forgive the spelling ) on you tube, hey how did you capture the yawning cat? Good stuff anyway about the phone, it's not something I would buy and am tired of crying for more centralized back cameras but damn! It is a pretty phone! And the way the box comes fully loaded ( reminds me of the Nokia x5800 for all those around my old age ) it must cost a kidney or so, any way thanks for the pleasurable review.
Hello, am from Cambodia , i would like to know that , does it turn off the screen display when we listen to voice on telegram or messenger like the poco f3 or redmi note 10 pro because of their pure or bad sensor . thank your reply.
Their launch video mentioned an early bird €100 discount for both RAM/storage options.
At that price the 12GB + 256GB model seems impressive when compared to price of One Plus 10 Pro and Samsung 22+.
Are they worth the extra money though, for better camera? I'm only a casual (Xbox Game Pass) gamer, looking to upgrade from a OnePlus 6T.
If you're gamer? No.
It's another flagship killer from Poco. That's what they do. All that's really missing is wireless charging and power share.
There is no new Samsung phone that is actually worth it over any Xiaomi or other brands, except the S22 Ultra 'cause of the pen.
@@x0vg5hs1 one ui is probably the best sowtware os, so, idk what you're talking about
@@x0vg5hs1 I'd say Samsung is way better in terms of software than most other android brands, especially Xiaomi.. but I would never plug my phone into my tv and I don't know a single person that would. I'm not saying it's a completely useless feature, but for most people it is. Fast charging on the other hand would be important for almost everyone and 25W fast charging in 2020 is not enough on a phone that costs over 200$.. yes I know about the fake 45W support that Samsung has, but that charges with 25W which is proven by multiple tests.
Nice reviews bro, loves from India 💐
I'd love those shoulder buttons on my Poco X3 GT. The X3 GT has great performance for the price and a big battery. The shoulder buttons would elevate it to a very good gaming device.
Looking forward to see the normal f4 version ! Please make a review on it when possible
Yeah I love my F3 ,just hope they put a better camera on the new F4
May God reach's you over a 1 000 000 subscribers soon
Very nice. U don't need a more expensive (gaming) phone 😁👍🏻
please do a video on that weirdly named chair your sitting in? looks comfy and easy on those hemorrhoids, plus any other chair recommendations?
Thanks for the review!
I decide between this and Redmagic 7 pro what you would recommend? Should I be concerned about Redmagic software? i want phone for all but primary gaming
Could someone help me w your advice? I currently have the poco f1 and need an upgrade. Should i go for the f3, f4 gt or wait for f4 regular/pro.
I can get the f3 256gb for 270 euro
What do you recommend poco f4 or xiomi 11t pro? In terms of camera wise?
Any news of a standard for? Overdue a change from my x3 and don't really want to buy an f3 if the new one is around the corner, but I'm an old git and don't need a gaming phone
Sir, I have a question. The 120W adapter, will it come with the UK pin (3 pins) to support the UK sockets? Because in all the reviews I've seen, all packages have the 2 circle pin adapter... Great review btw 👍
Yes it will but don't give Xiaomi your money until they start respecting their global customers
You can still use the phone to game because of the cables curve? Depends if you play in Widescreen or not.
the reason i subbed u was you are a man of culture and..
wow a genshin player
Waiting for your review 😁
Looking out for that inevitable Yor wallpaper
Is there a rainbow rgb cycle so konstant rainbow colors on led? Oh and could you please do a review to the black shark 5 pro on release? I’ll sub if u do. I promise.
I like your reviews, straight and to the point !! I wondered where can I purchase a redmi k50 pro ,Ali express has it BUT it's mentioned that it's a "Chinese version"
would it work in Europe ? should I be bothered because it's a Chinese version? any idea maybe it can be purchased somewhere else?
Buy from Malaysia global version
You should buy the global version if you live in Europe because the Chinese version doesn't come with antenna bands that can be used in any country. You can check other CZcams vidoes about this phone sometimes they provide a link to buy the phone on their description.
Think I will wait till it comes down in price to 200 quid like the F3 I've recently purchased in the higher storage variation for myself it's great.And of course after the many updates it will take to get this hot totty Snapdragon under thermal control.
How much is it?
6:00 off topic but what shows are those?
Nice! What about other versions of the Poco F4? Isn't there a plain F4 and an F4 Pro? Are they coming soon?
Does Redmi K50 Gaming support hands-free jack conversion? I don't mean poco f4 gt.
I noticed you missed out on the night shot on the camera? How is that?
Would this be an upgrade to the Samsung S8? My S8 is dying and looking for a replacement that's slightly better than it.
What's better Balck Shark 4 or Poco F4 on this price ? Or you know better than both of them on this price level ?
Red magic Nubia 7
"What's up Everyone? It's yo Boy here." 😎 😂😂😂
When the video started playing I was like, "Oh shit, he must have just came back from the US."😂😂
Hahaha🤣😂
It got 3 microphones for stellar voice chat reception
Please confirm if it overheats while playing Genshin Impact max graphics because I saw a review that says it does.
It does not.
You already got it?
The bloody launch is currently going!
I'm not an idiot
Why does that intro sound like you're parodying Sydsnap? X'D
nice alll came here after the live launch hahaha
is the CPU located in the center of the phone?
Awesome video buddy. I am the first one to view it
So other all a good phone to get? Better than most would you say?
Which phone would you suggest me buying right now?
Poco f4 gt or poco f5?
I want the best out of this two for gaming but also to deliver some good performance on everything social media, camera idk general things.
Plz reply to me🙏
Question that matters: Did they saved money again with the same inexistent proximity sensor? Or this has one this time ?
Yeah the Poco f3 sux for phone calls. U end up triggering some nonsense after the call
No idea what you lot are doing with your phones while on call, proximity works fine for me on my Poco F3.
@@markyteo hmmm It did suck balls but it's had updates since then and appears to be better 🤔!
@@camotech1314 same
@@camotech1314 Nice try Xiaomi employee...
Where do you purchase these devices
Hi dear , can you plz take other review from this phone and do thest with asphalt 8 or real racing 3 games ? This phone has problem for playing some games due to these triggers
Please answer before I buy. Thank you so much
The k40 gaming just got a 100usd price cut compared to its release price. Does this poco f4 gt have the same soffware & gaming features with k40 gaming?
K50
Hi, during the poco f4 gt presentation, they said something about battery optimization where the battery could stop at 80% while you are sleeping and start charging to 100% before you waking up. Meaning, the phone have the capability to stop the charging at certain percentage. My question is does the phone have any setting in it that could force the charging to stop at 80% or certain lever all the time?
Yes probably does, it's a Google feature.
Yeah, in Android 12 in battery settings
@@danielkyselica208 I've poco f3 with the latest miui 13 (android 12) but there is no such option in the battery setting. I guess it is poco f4 gt only feature for now.
@@upoone nope, it's android 12 feature copied, and it was taken from Apple which had it first
@NotLxrd ?
Bloody hell it looks like a bloody mi mix 3, on top of that what about the Google feed issue? Fixed? And also it's on li ion, kinda bad.
I have a question I’m thinking of getting a pixel 7 pro but before I was looking at the poco F4 GT which one should I get? Which would be more worth the momey
Poco
When the hell are they going to release this in the UK?!
Everyone what to use for gaming but what about everyday usage non gaming for that price 500f 12 gb ram quick charging why not nice designed 😎 Great unboxing 👊👊💪
Great phone and awesome review as always, but the F4 GT and the K50 Gaming both have a glass back.
@Carrot Cruncher I have heard a lot about this, but I still don't get what this means. Can you tell me what's up with it?
@@darling_yext Xiaomi saved money not including a proximity sensor and using the top speaker to emulate one, so when you make calls or hear voice messages it fails a lot... It's hardware related, custom ROMs can't do sheet... But all this tech salesman I mean, reviewers won't tell the truth... Imagine receiving phones every monto so you make videos for your channel and they sell devices .... Win win for salesman and brands ...
@@jkn2k I have had bad experiences with that anyways, last time I had problems like that with the Yu Yutopia, a 2015 flagship with the snapdragon 810, I feel like it is a software issue on that, 'cause that definitely has a proximity sensor and also has battery issues because of the software. It still lasts almost a day, from 100% to 50%.. and then turns of 'cause of a cache issue, it would literally be a 2 day phone with that fixed but oh well.
Btw Yu doesn't but it's parent company Micromax still exists and makes phones, haven't yet topped that awesome and unique Yutopia yet tho. The cache issue on it is fixable btw, I'm just lazy. lol Sorry for the random topic and thanks for the heads up.
@@darling_yext The proximity sensor detects when a user is holding the phone near their face during a call and turns off the display to prevent keypad presses and battery consumption from the display. The proximity/light sensor is located to the right of the earpiece.
@@richardlaed1582 I know exactly what it is, I just didn't understand why there would be any phone that doesn't have it.
Are all issues including not being able to make receive calls and stuff
What exactly do you mean "the screen can scratch up easily" ? Like when you wake up you go ahead and use a drill on your phone screen? Keys and Nails can't scratch it, it's as far a screen durability for an every day person use goes
The beauty with this one is it is cheaper than K50 Gaming but missing the MIUI features like game space extra features and certification by JBL. If I'm not mistaken the JBL logo is marked near the bottom speaker. Other than that, this device is a good contender for a budget gaming SD8g1.
This is tuned by JBL. I have the phone.
Need Help n Answer Does Poco F4 gt easy heat? Cuz I play Marvel Future Revolution Kinda Easy Heat my phone battery
May I know between mi11t pro and this phone which is better
When's the galaxy a73 review coming my good man?
I have miui 13 on my poco f3 but where's the new widgets as advertised?
Excellent opinion I am waiting to buy this cell phone but what is the name of the game you played in most of this video?
Bought the cheaper 8gb/128gb version, and I still can't believe just how much Xiaomi have packed into the device, for the crazy bargain price it sells for!
How much did you pay for it?
Does its Type-C support HDMI Alt Mode?
I live in georgia and bought this phone but i dont have the charger where can i buy its charger?
Where do u get the wallpapers??
I'm thinking of getting this, but a dedicated gaming mobile not have expandable storage is just wrong imho.
That intro sounded like flossy Carter intro vids kkk.
Thank you for your beautiful videos.i am One of your fan in iran
Hi guys i don't see this bottom when i press to set up i didn't see i cant drag L or R to configuration help me
Goddamn that was fast.
Came for the phone's specs but stayed for the Komi-san wallpaper
Its good, hopefully they fixed or improved the cobs from Poco F3 in this one. As good as it is for gaming, it hopefully does just as good as a daily driver.
What was wrong with it?
@@tomwilliams9489 the camera
@@TheHairlessChimp i daily drive the F3 and I think the camera is great. If ur not an photographer u won't have a problem
@@TheHairlessChimp I don't really have a problem with the camera on mine, in some situations it's better than my old S10 plus and in others it's slightly worse. Video is worse though, I loved the stabilization mode on my s10
Pick up a 2nd hand Xiaomi mi 11 for the same price as new Poco f3 and it does everything better and better by a mile.
Is there a regular Poco F4 coming out ?
ITS UR BOI
I like this intro 👍
Who is that in the wallpaper 02:23?
When will you be getting the OnePlus ace
Where can you get this in United States somewhere where I can finance it
Gonna do a full review?
How many updates u get of android
I'm gonna GET that!!!...thanks
It's not a tech spurt review without the word " shenanigans"
Recomended upgrade from iphone 12 pro max to this?
Super detailed review as usual.
I'm super torn between this and the blackshark 4 pro.
I've heard the F4 GT tends to heat up more, even under regular use like browsing, CZcams etc.
Any suggestions regarding those 2 ?
Thanks in advance
blackshark all the way
@@chengaming696 got it 2 weeks ago, super impressed and happy. !
@@danielkoster8510 what did you got bro? f4 gt or blackshark? hope you can reply

where do you get those wallpaper
You are the my darling you tuber 😁😁❤️❤️❤️🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Does it have a pro video mode?
I think I'm gonna go for the f3. Its dirt cheap now and will still do me.
Poco F4 vanilla version is on its way too
Will you do a redmagic 7 review . Please.
Plus +1 for the wallpaper lol
Waiting for the OnePlus Ace (10R) unboxing soon
