Top 5 highlights of the POCO X3 GT

A good build and desigm for the price

1. Great build - The POCO X3 GT starts at PHP 15,999. It is a departure from the POCO X3's design. It has a glossy, glasstic back with a thick camera bump. We got the Stargaze Black color and there are white "stars" spread across the black rear panel. Upfront, it has a punch-hole design with Corning Gorilla Glass Victus protecting the screen.

A beautiful 120Hz 6.6-inch LTPS screen

2. 120Hz screen - The screen is a 6.6-inch 2.5D curved LTPS panel with 2400 x 1080 FHD+ resolution, 120Hz refresh rate with DynamicSwitch covering 30Hz to 120Hz, 240Hz touch sampling rate, and 399 ppi pixel density. The POCO X3 GT provides a smooth experience in multimedia, multitasking, and gaming. It has good brightness, colors, and contrast as well.

It scored just shy of 600K on AnTuTu benchmark

3. Performance beast for the price - The POCO X3 GT features the 2.6GHz 6nm MediaTek Dimensity 1100 octa-core processor, Mali-G77 MC9 GPU, 8GB LPDDR4X RAM, and up to 256GB UFS 3.1 expandable storage. This specs sheet was able to garner a 592,358 score in the AnTuTu benchmark. WILD for the price! 

In addition, it has up-to-date features such as 5G, WiFi 6, 4G LTE, Bluetooth 5.2, OTG, NFC, GPS L1CA + L5, GLONASS, BeiDou, Galileo, NavIC, side-mounted fingerprint sensor, face unlock, IR Blaster, stereo speakers, Hi-Res Audio both wired and wireless, USB-C, Dolby Atmos, X-axis linear motor, and LiquidCool Technology 2.0.

67W Turbo Charging for the 5,000mAh battery

4. Huge battery with 67W Turbo Charging - The POCO X3 GT features a huge 5,000mAh battery. This is big enough to last a full day, especially with the screen's DynamicSwitch. If you do need to charge, the 67W Turbo Charging will refill your battery in no time and get you back in action.

64MP triple cameras

5. 64MP triple cameras - The POCO X3 GT did not cut corners with the cameras as it has a triple-camera setup with 64MP f/1.79 w/ PDAF + 8MP f/2.2 120-degree ultra-wide-angle + 2MP f/2.4 macro with dual-tone LED flash. It also has a 16MP f/2.45 selfie sensor. This will be able to provide great images in point-and-shoot situations.
