Xiaomi Poco X3 GT | Unboxing & Full Tour By Tech Spurt

So today we're going to be unboxing and taking a full on tour of the latest freshest x-series smartphone from Poco the Poco x3 gt, also the first of the x family to boards to full 5g smarts. This phone is powered by the MediaTek density 1100 chipsets you've got some impressive specs packed in there, including 67 watt, fast charge support, and it is similar in many regards to the excellent Poco f3, but should Boston even more affordable, asking price so enough at yammering, let's whip it on out and for more on the latest and greatest tech. Please do ROG subscribe and ding that notifications bell cheers all right. So what do we get in this lovely bright, yellow box? Besides, of course, the actual Poco x3 gt? Well, you get one poke, pin device a mighty 67 watt adapter to take full advantage of that fast charge support, but a type c USB action labeled up just in case you weren't entirely sure a good old friend, the prophylactic KFC can slap on the poke x through gt just to keep it in good. Nick you've got some stickers, poco, polo, Poco and rut. RO, this can only be bad news.

You've got a type c USB to 3.5, mil headphone adapter, so no headphone jack on the Poco x3 gt by the looks of it suggestion and that's it. Everything you'll find packed inside the x3 gt box. So now it's time to check out the phone. So first impressions of the x3 gt gotta admit mostly relief uh because they haven't actually branded the run with a massive Poco logo. This right here is definitely pocket on its best behavior, probably responding uh to criticism of previous handsets, where it's busy, just being like Rocco screamed at you in big, bold letters right across the back got to see it quite smart slick design overall, nothing particularly revolutionary, but the phone is reasonably slender, not too much of a heft to it.

It's a glossy plastic back, not actually glass or anything like that. A slight amount of flex to it, but overall feels very sturdy. This right here is the star gears black model of Poco x3 gt, which you can see that has a sort of gradient style effect black at the bottom and a sort of silvery tint up top and if you appear really, really close, you'll notice that that darker area towards the bottom does actually glitter slightly when it catches the light kind of like stars twinkling. I guess, if you want to be generous, it is highly reflective, so you could definitely use it to check out your hair or your eyebrows on the go just make sure they're, looking as full, bodied and luscious as usual and seems to do a reasonable job, though, despite that glossy finish of hiding, scuffs and smears, and all that kind of nastiness that you get from funneling your smartphone, you can't notice it when it's all catches, the light just saw, but overall, not too bad, and if you're not fond of this particular color choice, you can also grab the Poco x3 gt in cloud white or with blue that rather chunky. Camera chassis does jet quite far from the ass end of the x3 gt.

So the phone will jiggle about if you align it on a desk and trying to use it at the same time, you've got a bit of plastic engine as well, and then the display is actually gorilla, glass, Vitus, so highly drop resistant. Although I have noticed that it does tend to scratch so reasonably easily uh still, so you definitely probably want to slap on a screen protector. There isn't one pre-installed. Sadly, as for the buttons fairly straightforward stuff, you got your power button and your volume rocker over on the right edge and that power button does actually have a fingerprint sensor, uh built into it as well, despite the fact that it's very skinny does actually jut out of the surface as well. Instead of being indented, like most other sensors over on the left edge, you've got the sim tray up top you've got an IR, blaster and down below type c, USB port, but yeah, no headphone jack to be seen, let's just pop out that sim tray and have a bit of a squint, and what you have here is space for two sim cards simultaneously, but unfortunately, there's no room for a micro, SD memory card to expand the storage.

Okay, it's time to get this mother all booted up, and then we take a proper full-on tour of the rest of the specs right. So I've set up the Poco x3 gt just the way I like it uh and what you got here is android 11 with me: UI 12.5, the latest freshest version of Xiaomi's launcher slathered. On top and quite honestly, I've reviewed so many Xiaomi and Poco smartphones that I feel like all are bang on about. Is me UI these days, but for everyone, who's missed all those previous smartphone videos, I quite like it in this latest freshest form. It's the closest we've had to sort of stock android vibe from mini, so you've got all the standard features like a bit of the Google discover feed you've got that apps' tray.

You can drag down the notifications bar, but then you've got those very worthwhile bonus bits like the control center, which you can drag down from the right side of the top edge of the display, and this just gives you fast access to all of your toggles and other bits, as well as your smart home stuff. The settings menu is pretty dense. As usual. You've got lots of customization. You can do in there for the likes of the home screen.

Furthermore, you can set up your own wallpapers. Furthermore, you've got a dedicated theme and app some very eclectic designs in there. So I like stick with my nerdy anime papers. Of course, one of the drawbacks of grabbing a Xiaomi or APROCA smartphone. Are you get tons of crap wear packed on here when you first boot it up all my old favorites are present and correct? Good old block puzzle Tetris rip off there, a bit tile fun.

How could you resist that so? We'll have to spend probably a good 20 30 minutes just clearing all the crap. Thankfully, you can uninstall all of this rubbish a couple of them all pretty good, actually like the security app, for instance, which just gives you fast access to a bunch of different tools to clean up your storage and get rid of all the clutter block any spammy numbers. You can check how much data you've used, and it's worth, bearing in mind with Xiaomi and Poco smartphones, you're, not guaranteed a particularly long term support, so you might not necessarily get upgraded to the latest freshest android OS or get those security updates rolling in for a good three. Four years, like you will, with the likes of a Nokia smartphone, for instance, in touch words that edge mounted fingerprint sensor seems to work really, really well, despite the fact that power button is super, skinny, definitely working an absolute charm so far, and you do have support for fierce and lock as usual as well. So, let's get that all set up, and this too seems impressively nippy as usual.

So no hanging about, and if you like, downloading whopping great big files, huge amounts of movies games, all that good stuff. Well, the good news is you've got choice for 128 or 256 gigs of storage. This is, as you can see, there's the 256 gig model and no matter your choices, UFS 3.1 storage, so nice and nippy. But, as I mentioned before, no micro, SD, expandability boo hiss. Now the Poco x3 gt may only sport an IPS panel, not an sleds like the likes, the Poco f3 and some other rivals, but it is an absolutely gorgeous display.

It's a 6.6 inches, full HD plus resolution, so the images are still pretty crisp. Despite the fact it's a pretty decent size, you can't tinker with the colors if you want in the display settings, but I found on the default settings. The Poco x3 gt very poppy punchy hues right in your face there, when you're streaming on a bit of Disney, plus or Netflix. You've also got HDR.10 supports a nice strong, sharp contrast as well quite natural, looking output again for supported content on the likes of Netflix and other streaming services. Viewing angles are nice and wide, and not that top brightness you'll have no trouble seeing what you're doing outdoors even on a sunny day and yeah.

You do get a central camera, orifice uh, which does intrude slightly on the action when you go full screen. But it's nothing too troublesome. Do you jump into those settings? You've got all kinds of different modes you play around with so, as I say, you can mess around with the uh color output, if you like by like just leave it on auto, you can play around with the reading mode and the refresh rate as well is set to just 60 hertz by default. But why wouldn't you want to bump it all the way up to that luscious silky, smooth 120, hertz effort and already that UI does feel a little smoother than it did at b4. It's actually a dynamic refresh rate as well, so it can scale between 30 and 120, depending on what you're up to and the Poco x3 gt also boasts a stereo speaker output as well.

So, let's see what we got. One plus is also Boston that the node 2 is absolutely everything you could ask for otherwise, somehow doubt its ability to fill a bathtub with single malt or fry up a perfect egg and chip buddy. For me, when I'm hanging like a baboon's, ass, yeah, perfectly respectable for a budget friendly blower, not the loudest on that top setting has to be said. So, if you're on quite a noisy environment chances are that sound is going to get drowned out, you're not going to be able to hear. What's going on and yeah there's a damn machine.

You don't get a headphone jack here on the Poco x3 gt, but at least you get a dongle bundled in the box, and you have a bit of Bluetooth 5.2 support as well. You do have support for high-res audio via that dongle as well, and you've got uh, give it Dolby Atmos fine-tuning on here too. So now. Let's turn our attention to performance and the Poco x3 gt is actually powered by the MediaTek dimension 1100 chipsets, so similar to the 1200 AI that was packed inside that OnePlus. Word 2, as you can see there from the geek bench results, very respectable scores.

In fact, here is the poker x3 gt side by side with the OnePlus word 2, which, as you can see there, despite sporting, the supposedly superior chipsets, did actually perform inferior when it comes to the multi-core score. But of course, benchmark tests are not always the most reliable uh, but certainly so far. The performance touch words here on the polo, x3 gt seems nice and smooth apps seem to load up with no delay whatsoever. You've got plenty of them still chugging away in the background ready to be reopened and to do a proper, uh full-on performance test right now, let's get a bit of gaming on the go, but not with the likes of tile fun. Let's try good old gentian impact, so the dimension 1100 chipset two and the Poco x3 gt, seemed to cope perfectly well with gen chin impact on those default medium detail settings.

I did see a couple of little cutters here and there, though, especially when the action was getting a little frantic, or I was tearing across the landscape, so I definitely did not want to jack it up any higher than that no problems with he built up here on the Poco x3 gt, even after a good bit of mention for half an hour or so as well, but I will be testing out with some in-depth afternoon long sessions for my in-depth review. I also found the screen perfectly responsive as well. Thanks to the 240 hertz touch sampling rate, as with all of these Xiaomi Poco smartphones as well. You also get a dedicated gaming mode which you can drag out like. So this gives you fast access to a whole variety of settings and tools.

So, for instance, if things are getting a little sluggish, you can uh clear up the memory, make sure there's no other apps hogging your vital resources. You can also record the action, can even change your voice if you want to do uh the commentary in the form of a robot or someone of the opposite gender. Although I've got to say I'm not entirely convinced by the girl one, I don't think I know any girls who sound like this and that dimensionally 1100 platforms also serves up dual 5g support across both of those sim slots as well. So if you have two sims in there at once, you can get on the 5gs from either and if you are a Wi-Fi driver, we got support for Wi-Fi six as well, so that'd be uh, especially good news, as Wi-Fi six stops spreading out into public areas, no worries on the battery front either you've got a 5 000, William cell, packed inside the pocket, x3 gt. That should keep you going all day.

Long, no worries, even with lots and lots of screens on time. Of course, we'll be sticking my sim card into the pocket, x3 gt and using it as my full-time smartphone for around a week or so for my in-depth review, so check back then for my final verdict on how good that battery life really is, and of course, once the buckle, x3 gt is fully drained where you got that 67 watt fast charge support. So from empty to full at the plug should only take around 40 minutes now. Last up for this Poco x3 gt, unboxing and tour, let's check out the camera tech, and we got slapped on the back- is a triple lens setup, 64, megapixel, primary camera, 8 megapixels, ultra-wide angle and, of course, your bog-standard, obligatory, 2 megapixel macro effort. There appears to be absolutely no surprises from the Poco x3 gt's camera app.

It's your standard, Xiaomi, slash poker effort, fairly straightforward stuff, but does packing quite a lot of features, and when you hit that shutter button you'll find that you are taking 16 megapixel photos by default using four in one pixel binning got the usual HDR. Smart you've got your AI shenanigans, which you can tap on like so as well, and that would just suggest different settings and different camera features to use depending on the subject. If you do decide, you want to shoot at that maximum 64 megapixel resolution. Well, you can just tap this little mode right here in the bonus features, and that will be done. I do find that often using this mode, though your shots can come out a little softer and also just generally booked if the lighting conditions aren't quite good.

Absolutely tons of other bonus, mods crammed in here as well, including the likes of the portrait mode, which adds a both style effect to your picks now, which you can fully customize as a pro mode with full manual controls. You can tinker with the white balance, ISO level, shutter, speed, etc. You've got the 64 meg option up top as well, and if you tap like saw, you could also shoot in raw format if you flick across to more. That is where you'll find uh the likes the night mode, slightly buried away in there, which is a bit annoying, but you can edit uh the full setup as well. So you can see exactly what goes where so, for instance, you might not want that pro mode on the main start screen, but you might want that night mode in there, because, obviously you want to be taking your sexy club selfies, and then you'll find that the night mode has been added to the main camera setup back in the main photo mode you can quickly and easily swap to that.

Eight megapixels, ultrawide angle mode like so, and you've also got fast access to your macro lens as well, simply by tapping up there and hitting that and if we slide on into video well, the Poco x3 gt shoots at full HD resolution 30 frames per second by default. You bump that up to 60 fps, if you like, otherwise all the way up to 4k ultra HD resolution, although sadly there's no 4k 60fps option, but even if you leave it at 4k, you do have the option of shooting HDR uh video as well. So good news for your high contrast scenes your usual filters a bit of image stabilization and then last up around front. It's a 16 megapixel selfie shooter, which should prove absolutely fine for your selfies. These pockets, usually pretty decent on that front, and you've got a good bit but a bit of portrait mode.

If you want to block out everything, that's behind you make it all about your gorgeous face. You can do night board and everything too so another one for the gram, so that right there in a nutshell, is the fresh new Poco x3 gt. Now I don't know the official UK price just yet, because this is being shot ahead of the official launch so hopefully should find that out pretty soon after this video goes, live, and I'll bring it down in the description or in a pinned comment right up there at the top, but certainly if it comes in at a respectable price, around maybe sort of 250 to 60ish then definitely offers a lot for that sort of money, respectable performance, courtesy at the mental chipset, a big battery with fast charging support might not have an OLED screen, but it's certainly a very nice panel, for you know just kicking back with a bit of a TV bit of movie action. I've got your 120 hertz support and then hopefully the camera attack will prove uh, pretty solid as well as I said, stay tuned for my in-depth Poco x3 gt review for all. You need to know on that front.

So what do you reckon? Are you tempted be great to your thoughts down in the comments below? Please do put subscribe and ding that notifications bell to see that review when it goes live, and please do have yourselves a fantastic rest of the week. Cheers everyone loves. You.
