A few months after Redmi announced the K50 Gaming in China, the competitively-priced, Snapdragon 8 Gen 1-powered phone is now official in several countries including the Philippines as the POCO F4 GT. Just like its Chinese sibling, the POCO F4 GT has a very competitive price for a phone with the latest Snapdragon processor.

Like its doppelganger, the POCO F4 GT’s standout features are its use of a Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 processor and a new dual vapor chamber cooling system to handle the processor’s thermals especially in heavy loads.

As a flagship killer, you get goodies like a 6.67-inch 120hz AMOLED display, 120w wired charging, 20-megapixel IMX596 selfie snapper, JBL-tuned stereo speakers, and a triple rear camera setup that consists of a 64-megapixel IMX686 main camera, 8-megapixel ultra-wide-angle camera, and 2-megapixel macro camera.
The POCO F4 GT is priced at Php 27,590 for the 8GB/128GB variant and Php 30,990 for the 12GB/256GB variant, and will be available via Lazada and Shopee on May 13.
If its official price is not enticing enough, the POCO F4 GT will have an early bird price of Php 24,390 and Php 27,990 for the 8GB/128GB and 12GB/256GB variants respectively from April 28 to May 12. That’s not all: the first 80 buyers of either variant will get a Mi True Wireless Earphones 2S with their purchase, making this POCO F4 GT offer in the Philippines one of the best deals you can get for this year.
