    Honestly the F3 and X4 are both VERY powerful and nice phones, you can't go wrong with either selection. The difference in performance is mostly negligible in games, as an F3 user, I can play pretty much any game I want on the highest or near highest settings. But considering the fact that the X4 and F3 are very similarly priced, and the X4 is released a year after, has a slightly larger battery, and a better processor, I'd just go for the X4 at this point if I were to choose between the two. However, both phones are probably THE BEST options at this price point, without much exaggeration.

    I’ve been looking at Poco X4 GT reviews for days, and only now discovered your channel. Your videos are great! No fluff and direct to the most important aspects. Excellent presentation too. Small details, like the “ding” sound every time a detail is being highlighted, are appreciated. Subscribed 🙂

To me, that sounds like at 60 or 90Hz ts rate can hit 270, but at 120 or 144Hz refresh the ts will be slower than 270Hz.

Don't forget to leave a sub!". I'm standing between 11t and x4 gt but power in this device is just out of this world. What would you suggest.

I'd say it depends on if you want a better screen and slightly better cameras from the 11T or a fast screen with better battery life and a much more powerful processor in the X4 GT. I actually like both phones, but I would go with the Poco-the screen is good enough for my use and I love that this phone always feels fast and sips power. I hope that helps!

    I am really leaning towards purchasing this X4 GT against it's sibling, the F4. The Dimensity 8100 chipset is just amazing for its price tag.
    While I really like the amoled display and the better camera on the F4, it is 90 USD more expensive compared to the X4 GT here in our country (UAE). And I don't know if I can benefit from it's camera for my toy photography hobby either as I can always borrow my wife's iPhone 13 Pro Max for that. I also don't personally like the camera design on the F4.
    And looking at most reviews, the IPS LCD display of the X4 GT is not that bad. The 3.5mm headphone jack is a big bonus as well.
    Great reviews by the way, new subscriber here!

      I'm just not sure, Julian. I haven't been able to test one yet, but I've been a big fan of the F3 over the last year and you're right-the F4 looks to be basically the same except for the possibly improved camera and faster charging. I don't think you'd regret the F4 (unless you specifically need a camera feature that may or may not work in the future), plus you gain longer software updates. $50 more than an F3 might be worth it! Sorry, I know that's not much help.

      Good question Muscular Leopard, I'm considering making a comparison video with these two devices. I'm leaning toward the X4 GT though. It's processor is scoring well and does not throttle much at all compared to the F4 GT. For comparison the average scores for the CPU Throttle Test and 3D Mark's stress test begin much higher on the F4 GT, but the average result at the end of the stress tests (45 minutes on CPU Throttle, 20 for 3D Mark) the X4 GT beats the F4 GT's average scores. If you game in shorter spurts or don't play demanding titles, the F4 GT would be better with a nicer screen, the shoulder buttons, and the 8 Gen 1's great short term performance. But if you want to play Genshin for a while--im thinking the X4 GT is the better choice. There are interesting tradeoffs for sure.

    f4 vs 11t vs x4 gt vs x4 pro vs gt neo 2 which one the best in your opinion overall (i dont play games)

    • @phonecomp
      @phonecomp  2 роки тому +2

      Hey Mustafa! I haven't tested the F4 or Neo 2 yet, so I would say 11T if you want a better camera, X4 GT if you want the better processor. I do like Realme UI over MIUI, so if you have a preference there that would help you choose. Just skip the X4 Pro--not a good option at it's current price.

      Hello Rodney! Thank you for the clarification, but I disagree that 500 nits is unusable in direct sunlight. It's not as bright as the Poco F4, but I still find it usable, and I have used the X4 GT for multiple months indoor and outdoor as my primary device. I do wish it was brighter. But I can certainly get by with 500 nits.

If you're using this for deliveries on an ebike or escooter it is worthless since you wouldn't be able to work on sunny days without stopping every 5 minutes to find a shaded area. It's trash.

      @@RodneyJSM The X4 GT's display is a tradeoff. It's meant to better target the gaming community with it's 144hz refresh rate (even though it's touch sampling rate is less than the F3 or F4). I really enjoy it's processor, much more so than the X4 Pro's weak snapdragon 695. Id say if you are spending considerable time outdoors with your phone,
      the tradeoff in performance is worth the X4 Pro's much brighter display. But if you're targeting gamers (who I think are more likely to use their devices inside typically) then the faster processor is a must have. Whether you should get the F3 over the X4 GT is definitely a good question. I agree that most people are better served with the F3, but some will prefer the faster charging, refresh rate, and processor on the X4 GT. There are so many choices today that it comes down to what is the right phone for you, and that changes throughout the year with sales and new devices. Makes it a very interesting market to look at!

Since you're currently using the G3, the screen on the GT will still be an upgrade and you keep the headphone jack. The only more powerful phone I can think of with a headphone jack is 2x the price (Asus Zenfone 9). You could wait for the Redmi Note 12 series if they are available in your region, but they are running a weaker processor. I'm with you, skip the dongles and get Poco's best phone of the year, or the Poco X5 might also have a headphone jack though--if you want to wait. Thankfully there are a few options. Also Sony still includes headphone jacks on their devices, but I think they are overpriced for most users.
