The POCO F4 GT was made available to us in April 2022 with the magnificent Snapdragon 8 Gen1 processor, 8 GB of RAM memory, 128 GB of storage and a robust battery of 4700 mAh capacity. Its screen is a 6.67″ AMOLED panel, FullHD resolution and 120Hz refresh rate.
This little guy doesn’t give peace of mind to us buyers, since it currently costs R$ 4,200.00 in Brazilian stores. At the aliexpresswhere it is originally sold, you can find it for around R$ 2,190.00, but the product does not have all the perks of buying nationally, in addition, of course, to the risks of getting the business imported from China.
Who will compete with the POCO F4 GT in this first episode of the new season is its brother, the normal POCO F4, which has appeared several times here on the channel. The F4 has a Snapdragon 870 as a processor, a chip already considered “classic”, which has great compatibility and optimization with all the apps and games in the catalogue. Needless to say, everything played today will be at maximum graphics, right?
POCO F4 GT test in heavy games
Asphalt 9
The very first game on our list, as always, is the beloved Asphalt 9. Even though it is one of the oldest names here on the board, this game is still capable of weighing heavily on our unsuspecting cell phones, giving considerable work due to the very good graphics. defined he has.
The POCO F4 GT scored an average of 58 frames at 100% stability in a normal run here on Asphalt 9. The standard POCO F4 tied for contention, also scoring an average of 58 frames, with 100% stability.
✔️ Seal Flat Wheel✔️ for both smartphones.
call of duty
Our COD Mobile could not fail to appear here. Despite the lack of action from the gameplays that are recorded here, the game still pulls a lot from cell phones.
The POCO F4 GT averaged an average of 57 FPS, at 99% stability. The regular F4 fared a little better, hitting the 60 frame feedback at 100% stability in a standard battle royale match zone.
Despite the difference in performance, it is ✔️ Seal Flat Wheel✔️ for both.
Diablo Immortal
One of the newest games on our list is Diablo. Due to its launch being held a few months ago, it still has some performance issues on most devices, but this is not the case with the POCO F4 GT, just call it.
This little guy managed to get a very smooth jig in the game of killing demons, with 60 FPS of average to 100% stability, without mystery. The regular POCO F4 proved to be no joke, also with a perfect 60 FPS at 100% on Diablo.
✔️ Seal Flat Wheel✔️ for both.
eFootball
We took a poll in the Roda Liso group on Telegram and you chose eFootball (or PES for those closest to you) as the Football game on our list. The game is not very heavy, but it is important to open up the range of test possibilities, to really show what a smartphone is capable of running.
The POCO F4 GT achieved the perfect score of 60 FPS at 100% stability in this Brazil VS game. Argentina that you are seeing on the screen. Unfortunately, the score of the match left something to be desired, since Richarlison missed the goal at least 4 times while Batata was playing.
✔️ Seal Flat Wheel✔️ in eFootball for the POCO F4 GT.
free fire
The fifth game on our list is Frifas, and look at that, I can tell you right away that people are going to be very disappointed now.
What happens is that the POCO F4 GT, unlike other POCOs we’ve tested, doesn’t reach the high frame rate of 90 or 120. Incidentally, the F4 GT took only 59 average FPS, with its stability at 100%, which it’s not bad, however it’s still not 90 FPS. The POCO F4 was the one to break the bank, which captured the magnificent framerate of 90 FPS at 100% stability.
✔️ Seal Flat Wheel✔️ for the F4 GT and Competitive Wheel for the regular POCO F4.
fortnite
Coming now to the heaviest test on the list, we have Fortnite, very heavy by nature. This game is always difficult to run on 90% of the devices we tested, making it one of the hardest to play today.
The POCO F4 GT scored an average of 61 FPS, with a minimum of 52 FPS, an excellent result indeed. The POCO F4 took an average of 61 frames, with a minimum of 40. The main difference between these two was stability, with the F4 GT providing a somewhat smaller variation of frames, despite the occasional freezes, typical of Fortnite.
✔️ Seal Flat Wheel✔️ for both.
Genshin Impact
Genshin is a complicated case on our list, because this game does not have a very good performance history with Xiaomi and POCO devices here on the channel.
The POCO F4 GT, for example, scored only 35 FPS, with a stability of 93%, which is not bad, but could be much more. The normal F4 didn’t surprise either at this stage, with an average of 39 frames at 81% stability. The summary is: if you are in the mood to play Genshin, avoid these two devices and go for some other brand. There’s even a video here on the channel with a list of the best smartphones to play Genshinzera, just check it out.
Anyway, ⚠️Wheel Seal ⚠️ for both.
Mortal Kombat
Mortal Kombat always impresses us with its sky-high frame rates. The competition here is not to analyze who runs better, but who can waste more FPS, since the two most likely already reach the frame limit of their screens.
The POCO F4 GT caught a smooth 122 average frames, with 99% stability. The regular POCO F4 finished a bit behind with 110 frames at 100% stability
?Competitive Wheel Seal? for the two devices tested, but the F4 GT won.
PUBG
In PUBG we had a somewhat disappointing result, since even though we used the little programs to release a higher frame rate, POCO F4 GT did not allow us to leave the classic 40 FPS at 98% stability, a pity. The normal F4, incredible as it may seem, was the device that broke this cycle, reaching, with everything at its maximum, the dreamed 59 frames of average to 99% stability.
⚠️Wheel Seal ⚠️ for the POCO F4 GT.
Tower of Fantasy
The last game on our list is Tower of Fantasy, that game that is almost identical to Genshin Impact. Jokes aside, it’s really interesting to test Tower of Fantasy because it’s one of those games that releases a high frame rate for almost all cell phones.
The POCO F4 GT got an average 73 FPS, but don’t get too excited, as the stability was pretty unpleasant, scoring only 77%, with several crashes during the game.
?Competitive Wheel Seal? for POCO F4 GT in Tower of Fantasy with everything maxed out.
Temperature
As in the previous season, we played an hour of COD Mobile in Battle Royale mode with all graphics at maximum, so we would know how much battery was lost in that period, as well as the temperature of the device’s screen. After that one hour of gameplay, the POCO F4 GT warmed up ?13°C? on its surface and lost ?19%? of load.
The F4 GT is a balanced device and did not overheat, at least that’s what the results tell us. Its battery withstood the strain and did not evaporate all at once during gameplay, as with several other top-of-the-line devices.
Conclusion
The POCO F4 GT is undoubtedly one of the best smartphones that has ever passed through here, but the grace of POCO’s “F” line of devices is precisely the great cost-benefit, it’s the absurd performance for a bargain price. It doesn’t seem like a very good deal to me when we put on the table the fact that the F4 GT costs around BRL 4,000.00, along with the detail that the F4 in its normal version already manages to execute practically everything that the GT executes without much extra effort. The POCO F4 GT is a great smartphone for playing heavy games, but in a universe where the normal F4 exists, with its updates and optimizations, this little guy is not necessary. Even so, ✔️ Seal Flat Wheel✔️.
