While the Poco X4 GT and Poco F4 are rebranded Redmi devices, Poco has made a couple of changes to differentiate the phones from their Redmi counterparts. For example, Poco has upgraded the front camera of the Poco X4 GT and includes a 20 MP sensor instead of the 16 MP sensor found on the Redmi Note 11T Pro. The company has also upgraded the cameras of the Poco F4 and has a 64 MP primary camera instead of the 48 MP main camera of the Redmi K40S.
In terms of design, Poco has not made any significant changes. The two phones look almost identical to their Redmi counterparts, with the only notable difference being the Poco brand. Even the color options of the two phones are identical, with Poco offering three color variants each for both models. The Poco X4 GT comes in black, blue and silver, while the Poco F4 comes in moonlight silver, night black and nebula green.
Other notable features include a side-mounted fingerprint scanner, dual speakers, 5G (SA / NSA) support, Wi-Fi 6, NFC, an X-axis linear vibration motor, and an IR blaster.
The Poco X4 GT and Poco F4 run Poco’s custom Android 12 skin based on MIUI 13, which also includes some changes. But it’s more or less the same MIUI you get on Xiaomi and Redmi smartphones.
