Earlier this year, POCO had introduced their first ever smartphone that featured the 108 MP primary camera, POCO X4 Pro 5G and also brought the brand new flat edge design and AMOLED Display to both POCO X Series and POCO M Series at an affordable price. This time, POCO has brought you the brand new amazing gaming smartphone, POCO F4 GT with the magnetic pop-up gaming triggers on the phone shoulders. Today, I had just received POCO F4 GT (12GB RAM + 256GB Storage, Stealth Black) from POCO. Without further ado, let’s get started with the phone unboxing and see what’s inside the box. 

Similar to the POCO X4 Pro 5G and POCO M4 Pro, POCO F4 GT has adopted a new phone box design with the brand new font. The design of the box looked like a racing car.

POCO F4 GT has brought a brand new design, which is the flat edge design that is similar to the iPhone. Not only that, the rear view of the phone does look like the racing car, and the torchlight has a lightning shape instead of a round shape. Besides that, there is the cool notification light that is included in POCO F4 GT and located next to the camera, as most of the smartphones nowadays don't have a notification light. 

The magnetic pop-up triggers in POCO F4 GT are really useful for most mobile gamers, especially when they playing battle royale (such as PUBG Mobile), FPS games (such as Call of Duty: Mobile) and MOBA games (such as Mobile Legends: Bang Bang) as they can play with a maximum of 6 fingers at the same time, with 4 fingers on the screen and 2 fingers on the top of the magnetic pop-up triggers. Not only that, thanks to the quad speakers and Dolby Atmos®, the gamers can immerse into the world of the game. 

POCO provided the L-shaped USB Type-C Cable in the phone box which really surprised me, as they really take good care of what the mobile gamer really needs. It’s really convenient for them as the cable won’t block the way the gamers place their fingers on the side of the phone and on the top of the magnetic pop-up triggers. The 120W Adapter included in the box can help the gamers return to the game in less than half hours when their POCO F4 GT is running out of the battery.
