Poco F4 GT review – the good, the bad, and the baffling

It’s still not completely obvious what makes a good gaming phone. There are great gaming phones out there, for sure, just check out our Asus ROG 5s Pro review. But, for me at least, it doesn’t feel like it’s easy to define what you need from a mobile gaming phone. I guess you don’t know it until you see it, in most cases, but it does feel harder to define than console gaming.

And if it’s true that you do know it when you see it, then even though I love the Poco F4 GT, I don’t think this is exactly it. It’s the latest flagship from Xiaomi’s gaming sub-brand, coming packed with loads of power, a gorgeous screen, and big speakers in an overall sleek package with good-enough cameras on the front and back. To make things even better, it’s only starting at around £600 – significantly cheaper than other phones with the same processor.

That twist here is the tweaks Poco have made for the gaming community. Firstly, and most noticeably, this phone has triggers, making it perfect for shooters from the off. Then there’s a unique right-angle charger so you can play and charge more easily, RGB lights in the camera bump, and special cooling technology to help any videogame fan feel right at home.
