Xiaomi has finally officially unveiled the Poco F3 GT, and as expected, it is a re-branded Redmi K40 Gaming Enhanced Edition. Hence, the POCO F3 GT throws up no surprises and offers all the specifications of its Redmi-branded sibling.

Correspondingly, the POCO F3 GT has a 6.67-inch AMOLED display that runs natively at 2,400 x 1,080 pixels. The 120 Hz panel sits within an 8.3 mm thick chassis, which also contains a MediaTek Dimensity 1200 SoC, up to 8 GB of RAM and 256 GB of UFS 3.1 flash storage.

Moreover, the POCO F3 GT has a 5,065 mAh battery that supports 67 W fast charging. The device retains the triple rear-facing camera array from the Redmi K40 Gaming Enhanced Edition too, which relies on a 64 MP primary sensor. Likewise, Xiaomi has also brought over its 'maglev' shoulder buttons from its latest Redmi gaming smartphone.

Xiaomi has only launched the POCO F3 GT in India so far, where it starts at INR 26,999 (~US$349) after POCO's 'mad reverse pricing' period. Meanwhile, the top-tier model will eventually cost INR 30,999 (~US$416). Xiaomi has not commented on global availability of the POCO F3 GT, yet.
