Positioned as a performance speedster, smartphone brand POCO introduced the POCO X3 GT in a global launch that unveiled its notable features. The new smartphone in the POCO brand, which is designed for entertainment and mobile gaming, will be available in multiple regions.

With a starting price of P15,990, POCO X3 GT boasts a MediaTek Dimensity 1100 chip with Dual 5G SIM, 120Hz DynamicSwitch DotDisplay, a high-resolution 64MP triple camera, and—for the first time ever on POCO smartphones—67W Turbo Charging technology to rapidly charge its 5000mAh(typ) high-density battery. Plus, POCO X3 GT is built tough, with Corning Gorilla Glass Victus™ prevents most scratches and cracks.

MediaTek Dimensity 1100 stands out to deliver a faster CPU and better connectivity. This is developed on the back of a 6nm chipset, the first POCO smartphone equipped with this power-efficient flagship process technology. POCO X3 GT operates on the latest four Arm Cortex-A78 cores at up to 2.6GHz, and four Arm Cortex-A55 efficiency cores. This CPU architecture, combined with an improved nine-core Arm Mali-G77 GPU running at 836MHz, brings more high-fidelity gaming to the device. It is also connected with an integrated 5G modem, dual SIM card slots, and WiFi 6 support.

POCO X3 GT is equipped with LiquidCool Technology 2.0, the flagship-level liquid cooling that ensures long-lasting performance.

POCO X3 GT is the first POCO phone to feature 67W Turbo Charging, charging from 0% to 100% in only 42 minutes. The 5000mAh (typ) battery promises to keep users powered all day, while its high-end display with flagship-level 120Hz refresh rate and 240Hz touch sampling rate makes POCO X3 GT highly responsive so users will never miss a beat. DynamicSwitch** from 30Hz to 120Hz intelligently adjusts refresh rate to match the needs of each content, largely optimizing power consumption.

64MP Triple Camera

POCO X3 GT is built with a 64MP triple camera, including a 64MP main camera, 8MP ultra-wide camera, and 2MP macro camera. With this set up, capture not just Pro Time-Lapse shots and select the best shots from a burst of photos with AI Shutters. It also has real-time bokeh video, while HDR video recording on both the front and rear cameras can capture a wide range of colors and depth. Once that perfect shot is recorded, one of 8 cinematic movie filters can be applied, or users can select from one of five vlog templates.

POCO X3 GT will be available in two variants. The 8GB+128GB variant will retail for P15,990 while the 8GB+256GB will be sold at P17,990 exclusively on Lazada. Both will be available for purchase at an early bird price of P14,990 and P15,990, respectively on Aug. 3 for the Global Open Sale and Aug. 10 for the local sale.
