DynamicSwitch DotDisplay is a 6.6-inch IPS-LCD screen with Full-HD+ resolution with a refresh rate of up to 144Hz and can be adjusted automatically. Has a response speed of up to 270Hz, which in terms of display is considered to be quite good that I do not think that it is an IPS screen, the glass used to cover is Gorilla Glass 5, which is strong and durable in level one Can prevent scratches and shocks to some extent.
At the back of the machine comes a sharp flat edge design that looks clean with a back cover that curves at four corners. Along with metallic colors that look and feel durable. The camera module is quite large. There is a slight convex from the back of the machine. which if used without a case The module itself can be scratched easily. Inside the module, there is a camera lens ring that is so big that it is not less noticeable.
For around the machine, all buttons are combined on the right side. There will be a volume button and an on-off button. which the on-off button will work as a fingerprint scanner inside At the top there is a 3.5mm headphone jack, IR blaster, a noise-canceling microphone hole and a speaker, while the bottom has a Type-C port, a microphone hole, a dual-SIM slot, And the speaker is, which is a pair of stereo speakers.

various applications
General use and charging
in various applications That with the Dimensity 8100 processor chip, which is strong at the flagship level, if talking regarding the use of various applications, it can be overlooked. Since the chip itself is stronger than the apps need to use, now let’s talk regarding one of the capabilities of the POCO X4 GT, such as a screen with a refresh rate of up to 144Hz. Only using a 60Hz screen may be able to see the difference clearly. Because the image displayed on the screen will be more fluid than before. It also responds faster. Plus, this 144Hz refresh rate is also an auto-adjusting one. It helps to save battery quite a bit. Another interesting point is that the screen is an IPS-LCD panel, but it has a widevine level L1, and also supports the display of Dolby Vision, or is a screen to use for social media. it’s slippery Will be satisfied with watching movies (if you get an OLED screen, it will be more satisfying but it is enough to understand that the budget is not too high)
As for the battery, the POCO X4 GT packs a total of 5,080 mAh with 67W Turbo Charging, which is designed by POCO to be able to play games while charging without affecting the battery life. Which for gamers is really something that helps a lot. As for the charging time, the experiment started to charge the battery to 1%. In the first 10 minutes, the battery rose to 27%. After 30 minutes, the battery rose to 64% and to 100% in 61 minutes, which was hot. It only happens when it’s warm. It can be called a charge that is quite interesting, no less. Due to the fast charging of the battery That usually generates enough heat. This heat will affect the life of the battery itself. But being able to control the heat from getting too high also helps the battery last longer. Allows to use for a longer time with it.
game play
In terms of gaming, the POCO X4 GT with Dimensity 8100 processor chip, which is a flagship model, can really be used to play all games. Plus, the device is also designed for gaming, making the game play very smooth and uninterrupted. In addition to the specifications that are put for playing games, there is also a software called Game Turbo to help manage the device during the game to be able to optimize the device’s performance. and also manages various notifications Not to interfere with the game time. The games that have been tried are PUBG Mobile, PUBG New State, RoV, Genshin Impact and APEX Legends. It must be said that it is smooth, fun, and even if you play for a long time. The machine is also not hot. It helps to play continuously well. In addition, PUBG New State can also turn on 90fps mode.
One feature that voice calls during games will love is the voice changer feature. This allows the voices we speak to change into other sounds, which can be used to cover up or mislead others.
photography
In terms of photography, the POCO X4 GT comes with a triple rear camera comprising a 64MP main camera, an 8MP ultra wide-angle camera and a 2MP macro camera, while the selfie camera is 16MP. which in addition to having a high resolution of the side hammer, it also provides quite a number of features And from trying to take pictures, it’s not bad at all for a mobile phone that focuses on playing games. Whether it’s collecting light, details, colors, including a rather smooth melting back. But what’s quite pleasing is the added features, whether it’s a mud mode that adds color to the video, or a long exposure mode that makes shooting streetlights easier, for example. But what may be seen as a pity is that when taking a selfie in low light, the image that can be taken will come out with a rather dark face. which here may have to rely on the app Retouch the image in order to use it. The image from the rear camera will be used in spite of Just like that because the details are already good But you can add more to make it more beautiful.
