New information has revealed that the company is planning to launch a new X-series smartphone called the POCO X4 GT. This phone will be succeeding the POCO X3 GT from last year. It appears that the launch date of the smartphone could be drawing near as it has been spotted in the IMEI database (via. Xiaomiui).

As can be seen in the screenshot below, the POCO phone with model number 22041216G will be arriving in the global markets with the POCO X4 GT. The 22041216G will be the global version of the Redmi Note 11T Pro, which is expected to launch soon in China.

MIUI 13 first started rolling out in January this year, and has now already reached most of the eligible premium and mid-range devices. Some newer budget offerings like the Redmi Note 10 Pro have received it too, meaning Xiaomi is keeping an okayish pace. Now, the latest global device to get the update in is the POCO X3 GT, and here’s all you need to know about it.

The POCO X3 GT MIUI 13 update is based on Android 12 and carries version number V13.0.3.0.SKPMIXM. The complete recovery-flashable zip is sized 3.2GB and also includes the February security patch. The full changelog is given below for your reference:

[System]
Stable MIUI based on Android 12
Updated Android Security Patch to February 2022. Increased system security.
[More features and improvements]
New: Apps can be opened as floating windows directly from the sidebar
Optimization: Enhanced accessibility support for Phone, Clock, and Weather
Optimization: Mind map nodes are more convenient and intuitive now

Do note here that the update is still in its early rollout stages and looks limited to Mi Pilot Testers alone as of now. But if found bug-free, Xiaomi should be pushing it to more units and expanding the release to more regions.

The POCO X3 GT was launched in July 2021 with Android 11 and should therefore be eligible for at least another upgrade after Android 12.

The MIUI 13 update for eligible devices has been rolling out since January. The latest handsets to receive the fresh software are the international variants of Mi 11 Ultra and POCO X3 GT. The original Chinese version of the former phone was one of the first to get access, while the original model of the latter smartphone got the update only recently.

The Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra sold outside mainland China is the same as the one sold in the company’s home country. The MIUI 13 update is currently live for two international versions of the handset, namely EEA and Global. The new system update for these models arrives with build numbers 13.0.5.0.SKAEUXM and V13.0.2.0.SKAMIXM respectively.

On the other hand, the POCO X3 GT is nothing but a rebranded Redmi Note 10 Pro 5G. The MIUI 13 update for it is only available for the variant sold in Indonesia. The software update bears build number V13.0.1.0.SKPIDXM.

Apart from bringing new MIUI features, the latest OTA system update for the aforementioned smartphones also comes with Android 12. Hence, they are getting their first major MIUI and Android updates together.

With that being said, as usual, Xiaomi is seeding out the update in batches. Therefore, it will take some time to reach every user. We also expect the company to extend the availability of the update to more regional variants in the coming days.

Today, in this piece, we are rounding up all the rumors surfaced so far about the Poco X3 GT, giving you a clear idea of what to expect.

Poco X3 GT Rumor Roundup: What to Expect? 

Moniker, Design, and Display 

Back in May, the initial rumors about the Poco X3 GT arrived in leaks. A popular Mi tipster named Kacper Skrzypek revealed that a Poco gaming phone with the moniker ‘Poco X3 GT’ could be in the works.

Later, the tipster revealed that the Poco X3 GT is nothing but a rebranded Redmi Note 10 Pro (Chinese model) for the Malaysian market. Soon after this confirmation, leaks started to get some pace and the device bagged multiple certifications.

Recently, renders of the X3 GT appeared online, which reaffirmed that it will be indeed a rebadged Redmi phone. Adding to it, an unboxing video from popular Indian YouTuber Technical Guruji took wraps off its design and box contents.

The smartphone will sport a 6.67-inch punch-hole display with a Full-HD+ resolution. It is expected to be an IPS LCD panel with a 120Hz high screen refresh rate and a 240Hz touch sampling rate. The display will have Corning Gorilla Glass Victus protection.

Cameras on the Poco X3 GT

In terms of cameras, the smartphone will flaunt a unique rear camera island. It will be a rectangular island placed vertically holding three camera lenses. It will be led by a 64MP primary lens, an 8MP ultra-wide-angle sensor, and lastly a 2MP macro unit.

At the front, it will boast a single selfie camera placed at the top center. It will be a 16MP camera unit.

Hardware and Software 

The most interesting thing from the specs sheet of the X3 GT has to be its hardware. After bagging various certifications, it was confirmed that the device will be powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 1100 SoC. For those who are unaware, the Dimensity 1100 is a premium chipset from MediaTek that stands below the Dimensity 1200 that powered its recently-launched sibling, the Poco F3 GT.

It is expected to launch with up to 8GB of RAM and 256GB of UFS 3.1 onboard storage. It will also have a microSD card slot for additional storage. As for the battery, it was spotted with a 5,000mAh battery cell and is expected to have a 67W fast charging support.

The device will feature a side-facing fingerprint scanner for security. According to a recent leak, the phone will run on MIUI 12.5 UI based on Android 11 OS out of the box.

Color variants of the smartphone 

Renders confirmed that the phone will arrive in three color variants – Green, Black, and White. Two of these colors, the Green and White variants, will have a textured back.

Pricing and Availability

Since the Poco X3 GT will be a rebranded Redmi Note 10 Pro 5G, it is expected to come at a similar price range to that of the Note 10 Pro 5G. The Note 10 Pro 5G arrived at CNY 1,499(~$230) for the base variant and was priced at CNY 1,799(~$276) for the top variant.

POCO has scheduled an event for July 23 in India to unveil the POCO F3 GT in the country. According to the brand, it will be holding yet another conference in Malaysia on July 28 to announce the POCO X3 GT.

The upcoming POCO F3 GT and POCO X3 GT are rebranded Redmi K40 Gaming and Redmi Note 10 Pro 5G respectively. The former will be making its debut in India on July 23 at 12 PM. Whereas, the latter will go official at 20:00 GMT+8 on July 28 in Malaysia.

A few days back, the MIUI 12.5 builds for the POCO X3 GT went live on the Xiaomi servers. Hence, the smartphone was expected to launch soon and it’s happening as well.

Since it is said to be the Redmi Note 10 Pro 5G for international markets, we can expect features like a 6.6-inch FHD+ 120Hz LCD panel, Corning Gorilla Glass Victus protection, MediaTek Dimensity 1100 SoC, LPDDR4x RAM, and UFS 3.1 storage.

Other features of this handset will include a 64MP (wide) + 8MP (ultra-wide) + 2MP (macro) triple camera setup, 16MP selfie camera, side-mounted fingerprint sensor, dual stereo speakers, IP53 rating for splash resistance, 5,000mAh battery, 67W fast charging, and MIUI 12.5 based on Android 11.

Apart from Malaysia, the new POCO phone will likely release in regions like Turkey and Indonesia to name a few.

Redmi, the sub-brand of Xiaomi, launched the Redmi Note 10 Pro 5G in China at the end of May. This smartphone is reported to release in international markets as POCO X3 GT. Ahead of the device’s official announcement, its MIUI 12.5 builds are already live on the company’s server.

It’s a known fact that smartphones from all the three Xiaomi Group brands, namely Mi, Redmi, and POCO run MIUI. The software for the handsets differs slightly based on the regions they are sold in. Hence, some devices have multiple regional MIUI builds.

According to Xiaomi Firmware Updater, the upcoming POCO X3 GT will have at least three regional MIUI software builds – ‘Global’, ‘Turkey’, and ‘Indonesia’. This information confirms that the phone will be available in the latter mentioned two countries.

The handset will most likely release in all the markets where POCO has its presence. However, the MIUI builds for those regions are yet to go live.

Since the forthcoming POCO X3 GT is merely a rebranded Redmi Note 10 Pro 5G. It should have the exact same set of specifications.

Therefore, we can expect features like a 6.6-inch FHD+ 120Hz LCD screen with a 240Hz touch sampling rate and Corning Gorilla Glass Victus protection, MediaTek Dimensity 1100 SoC, LPDDR4x RAM, UFS 3.1 storage, 64MP (wide) + 8MP (ultra-wide) + 2MP (macro) triple camera setup, 16MP selfie camera, side-mounted fingerprint sensor, dual stereo speakers, IP53 rating for splash resistance, MIUI 12.5 based on Android 11, 5,000mAh battery, and 67W fast charging.

Earlier this month, we had reported on the POCO X3 GT bagging the FCC certification. Now, the upcoming smartphone has also been spotted on the Malaysian SIRIM certification, while POCO F3 GT has also received the TUV Rheinland certification as well.

Talking about the X3 GT first, the device is expected to be the rebranded version of the Redmi Note 10 Pro 5G that has just been spotted clearing the SIRIM certification. This certification revealed the device’s model number and also confirmed its name as the POCO X3 GT. As per this listing (Via MySmartPrice), the smartphone carried the model number 21061110AG, which is in line with the FCC certification we had covered before.

On the other hand, the F3 GT, which is believed to be a rebranded version of the Redmi K40 Game Enhanced Edition, was also spotted receiving TUV Rheinland certification. The certification reveals that the model number for the M2012K10C/ M2012K10I. Notably, the “I” in the model number could be a reference to the Indian variant. The listing was spotted by known tipster Mukul Sharma who shared the information along with a screenshot on Twitter.

So yes, Redmi K40 Gaming Indian variant (POCO F3 GT) has now received the TUV Rheinland certification. Will feature the same BM56 battery which I spotted months ago on the Indian BIS.

The FCC listing has no information on the other specs of the phone.

The Redmi Note 10 Pro sold in China is very different from that sold in other countries. Not only is the design different but so are the specs. Now, those who want to get their hands on this version of the Redmi Note 10 Pro will be able to do so but under a different name – the POCO X3 GT.

Last week, Kacper Skryzpek, a Twitter user and unofficial MIUI translator posted a tweet that said a new POCO phone called the POCO X3 GT will be coming soon. Today, he shared another tweet that reveals the POCO X3 GT is actually a rebadge of the Chinese version of the Redmi Note 10 Pro.

Confirmed.

The new tweet includes an image that shows that the POCO X3 GT is code-named “chopin_global” while the Redmi Note 10 Pro for China is code-named” “chopin”, thus confirming that the former is a global version of the latter.

There is no news yet as to when the POCO X3 GT will be announced. There is also a possibility that POCO may decide to slightly alter the design as it has done with the POCO M3 Pro 5G when it eventually announces it.

Now that we know the two devices are the same, then the POCO X3 GT should have a 6.6-inch FHD+ 120Hz LCD display with a punch hole in the middle. It will be powered by the Dimensity 1100 chipset and have a 64MP triple rear camera, a 16MP front-facing camera, and a 5000mAh battery with support for 67W fast charging.

Most POCO phones that are available in the market are rebadged editions of the existing Redmi handsets. For instance, the recently announced POCO M3 Pro 5G is a rebranded version of the Redmi Note 10 5G, whereas the POCO F3 available in the global markets is a rebranded edition of China’s Redmi K40.

Moreover, the upcoming POCO F3 GT that is slated to debut in Q3 in India is likely to arrive as a rebranded version of the Redmi K40 Gaming edition. Hence, there is a possibility that the POCO X3 GT could be a rebadged Redmi phone. Could it be a rebranded edition of the Redmi Note 10 Pro 5G, which was announced recently in China? Hopefully, newer reports will spill more information about the POCO X3 GT handset.
