Fantastic raw performance for the money ; Fast charging, good battery life ; Fairly loud speakers ; Rich colour, high refresh rate screen

Feels a bit cheap without the bundled case ; Low-light camera performance isn’t great

The Poco X4 GT is a powerful, great-value, if you can find it at the right price. And while its camera array isn’t killer, it can outperform some similarly priced, less powerful Android handsets.

The 144Hz IPS screen is of good quality.

The Gorilla Glass Victus and IP53 protection are gone.

Nonetheless, the early bird price of €300 makes the handset particularly enticing, especially for users looking for a long-term, future-proof solution on a budget. And judging by past Poco releases, even the regular price will eventually come down to...

Fantastic power for the cash ; Solid high refresh rate screen ; Stereo speakers

Basic plastic build ; Cameras are just OK ; Has some interface bugs

The Poco X4 GT continues the Poco trend of offering more gaming power than just about anything else near the price. Other elements don’t stand out nearly as much — for good or bad — making this a great buy for performance hounds.

Amazing performance for the price ; Very good IPS screen ; Fast charging (charger included)

No water-resistance rating ; Rivals have OLED screens ; So-so secondary cameras

With fierce competition in the mid-range, the X4 GT doesn’t quite offer enough to stand out, but it still offers great value for money, especially if you care about speed.

Potent performance for an affordable phone ; Main camera takes detailed, colourful shots

OLED phones not significantly more cash ; Typically weak secondary cameras

A strong budget contender with great performance and battery life for the money. Screen and camera let the side down slightly, but given the launch price they are only minor grumbles. Less of a deal at full RRP.

Dominating performance from the Dimensity 8100 ; Incredible price-to-performance ratio

Generic looks ; Not the brightest display

Flagship-like Dimensity 8100 processor ; High refresh rate

Only an IPS display ; More expensive than the X3 GT
