After launching the Poco F3 as a rebranded Redmi K40 in global markets earlier this year, evidence hinting at the next Poco F-series device started showing up online a couple-odd months ago. Now, the Chinese giant has confirmed that its next device to launch in India will be the Poco F3 GT, and it arrives sometime in the third quarter of 2021.
On the other hand, the video confirms that the upcoming device will be powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 1200 SoC and launch sometime in Q3 2021. So, we can expect the company to launch the device sometime in July or August this year.
With two strong hints and the barrage of rumors online, it is safe to assume that the Poco F3 GT will be rebranded version of the Redmi K40 Gaming Edition. It was the first gaming phone under the Redmi brand. And well, the Poco F3 GT will be the first F-series phone to launch in India since the Poco F1 back in 2018.
If the Poco F3 GT will be a rebranded version of the Redmi K40 Gaming Edition, then we already know most of its specifications. It will feature a 6.67-inch Full-HD+ AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate and 480Hz touch sampling rate. We are currently not sure if the device will boast a gamer-esque design or not. But, the Redmi K40 Gaming Edition does come in a yellow color variant, so let’s wait and watch.
