IMPORTANT NOTE: I decided to separate the camera comparison to another video (for the reason of duration) and please stay tuned for the gaming tests!
Also I apologize for the audio that's clipping a bit (despite my efforts to fix it), but THANKS for still watching and let me know if there's anything I can improve! 😄
Can't wait to see the results!
Can you also compare f4gt with s21 fe in gaming .🙃
@@abhijeetkhatri832 would love to do that but unfortunately I don't have any S21 FE for testing 😔 nor of my friends has it as well
But please know that I'll keep on trying to review as much phones as I can!
Bro, what software did you use for the fps overlay
I see on poco f4 GT, screen flickering
Really good video. The different memory speeds are because of the cpu difference. The 8 gen 1 supports up to 3200mhz ram vs 2750mhz on the 870. For memory the 870 is capped at 44gbps vs the 51.2 on the 8gen 1. You can find the info if you search for the cpu specs. Just mentioning it since you go into a lot of detail in the comparison which is great and most reviewers don't, so i hope this helps for future videos.
Awesome job explaining the details of the phone! got yourself a sub!
Hey Ken! I wanna pick a good quality TWS with earhooks. My sister needs one when she jogs, and I can't recommend most of the good ones without hooks because they always fall off. I hope you could recommend one at the 30-50$ range.
Really helpful & informative video with details 👍🏻.
Man I just love your detailed reviews! They're super informative and changes the way you look at a certain smartphone.
Thanks for the kind comment! Will try to do more of these in the future 😁
Very good review....every single corner and aspect you explain...
This channel is very underrated. This is the best comparison I've seen so far.
I'm glad you found the information useful really! This means a lot to me 🙏🏻
Your content is really good and helpful 👍🏻 I subscribed your channel 😀
Amazing video Kenneth!
Thank you so much Christopher! Really means a lot to me 😄
Good review. I love it. Keep it up Kenneth!
Thank you so much! Will try to do more of these 💪🏻
Definitely thank you for deep diving the comparison between the two phones. Definitely again, deserves my subscription. Thank you for the informative content bro.
Thanks for the sub, the watch, and the comment! I'm really glad you found the video useful despite me being afraid for rambling too long, so yeah thanks again 🤣
Well my man, this is one amazing video thanks.
Nice and clean comparison, but I prefer actual gaming comparison rather than benchmark because based on the critics the sd 8 gen is too high on benchmarks but really sucks on the actual performance which is really disappointing, sd 865+ or 870 and dimensity chips are just way better on sd 8 gen 1 according to the other reviewers I watched, Is it true for you?
I watched a video about power efficiency and I learned that the snapdragon 865 would score nearly the same as snapdragon 888 if they both get the same amount of power consume and snapdragon 8 gen 1 is just consuming wayyy too much power to justify its speeds and also the scores you see in benchmarks use the chipset on the max speed which you would normally use only 1% of the time
Hey dear, I'm stuck between choosing haylou w1 or buds 3 lite or soundpeats free2classic or air3pro.. i like natural and balance sound with deep bass.. which will you recommend plz help I'm confused!!
Really informative video, also, thanks for adding "SOUND-CODECS compatibility".
I just want to know if the F4 is still having the proximity sensor problems that the F3 had?
Thanks!
Gotta share some of my expertise in the wireless audio part! 😁 Thanks for watching I really appreciate it!
So far I don't see any issue with the sensor, what did you encounter with the F3?
@@namedkenn Yeah, other reviews lack showing it’s audio capabilities, thanks! The big problem with the F3 is that the sensor sometimes works and other don’t, so when you are calling or listening a WhatsApp voice message, the screen goes on and off.
@@zavieir I believe this is a bug on WhatsApp app itself. When using a call I don't have this problem
@@ClaraFlater_than_surface_board no, its an old Bug without any fix.
@@zavieir it's bug on almost every xiaomi phone. They use virtual proximity since there is no additional hardware required like optical or ultrasonic proximity. They basically cheapen out.
Hi, did you tested 120w charger on F4? Charging time the same like GT?
Hi, would like to know if either of the F4 or F4 GT running on latest MiUI can convert 5G network and hotspot out WIFI 6? If it can only hotspot out WIFI AC, is there any option to toggle the WIFI hotspot as PMF or WPA3 encryption? Thx
Your doing great man ✌️
Thank you so much for this! 🙌🏻
Very informative
Where do you live Ken ?
So amazing your english feel so crisp even though we are from the same country 😅
What a perfect review 💯
14:54 The adopted cooling technology, just what i was looking for. 👍
Good job to highlight on the 67w charger for Poco F4 which can charge a USB c labtop.
Great video, for the gaming test can you do Pubg mobile and check if it supports 90fps on the graphics settings. I would appreciate it so much. Thanks
Hi, just wanted to point out that there is a 12gb ram variant for the F4 as well. It is much faster and better at everything than my previous poco f3 even though they have the same chip! i do not recommend 6gb ram variants with these models they hold back the performance of the SD 870.
The f4 punch out hole is amazing tho barely noticable
Really love this video, don't know how to explain it but your reviews like give something that no other video gives..
Keep up the good job
Why only Poco phones on the reviews?
Hey Dor thank you very much for the feedback! I'm really glad the video has been useful to you, truly 🙏🏻
For now that's because they're the only ones I got in contact with, and I'm not in a capacity where I can buy the phones that I want to review (many are also not available in my country). But of course I'm aiming to review and cover more brands in the future!
@@namedkenn can't wait to see that.
Till then thanks for the good job your doing with this phone, really thinking of buying it (gt) after my Asus rug phone 5 mother board bricked due to Android 12 update :(
hi i'm a new subscriber here, what app do use to check the performance of each phones?
Thanks for the sub! The performance monitor you see here is a built in tool from developer settings
Let me know what type of protection given in back side of Poco F4 5g
How is the battery backup on basic usage for the Poco f4 gt
Will you be doing a review on the moondrop aria snow edition?
I will! Though it hasn't arrived yet so please stay tuned 😁
Kenneth, will the F4 charge at full 120W speed if we use the 120W charger on the F4? Please reply to this question, as nobody has mention this on the whole internet.
No the F4 will only charge at 67W even with the 120W adapter
@@namedkenn Thank you for the info. I'd refrain on buying a 120W charger for my F4 then. You just saved me loads of money, my man.
Really nice video bro
Thank you so much!
Nice content!!!
So glad to hear that! 😁
Will Poco F4 GT launch in India or only a global variant...
Where can i see that Refresh rate indicator on screen?
Are they both water resistant? Or just the Poco f4 only?
Hello,will this phone work well for
for example 4 years?
I mean,is it possible that after 2 or 3 years it won't work like the first day
Please please please answer my question :-
Dose Poco F4 GT support Dolby vision like Poco F4 ?
@Kenneth Tanaka what app you use to see the real time refresh rate?
You can find that feature in the developer settings without any app
I request next time you do camera compassion do check battery health impact from the 120w charger in f4gt since you have been using over a month
I've been charging at 120W for a month straight with the F4 GT and I think I've gone through this in the video (or maybe I cut it out), the battery life is pretty much the same at 91% from the first time I got the phone
Keep in mind that I don't see this as a problem (why not 100%) for a couple reasons: first is the dual-battery setup and second is I focus more on the difference and how much it dropped over time
Looking forward for the battery wear result. I would also want to request for a content regarding battery wear within 6 months since this has been a controversial issue. One is charged 5% to 100% regularly while the other is charged 30% to 80%. Thank you!
Yep! Still charging with boosted 120W every day now haha although for your question that will be another different beast to test (because consistency is really hard to do in real life 😂) but we'll see
@@namedkenn Yay! Definitely hard to test. Although AccuBattery app can guide you with it. Use the total percentage charged as basis (%). They will differ in total number of charge (times of charge or cycle) and total capacity charged (in mAh). And to test for battery wear, reset AccuBattery and charge from 1% to full (not 100% since it is not yet full).
So can you tell me if there is a reason to buy the 12ram 256gb edition vs 8ram 128gb in terms of performance is there a diference ; i dont think any game uses more than 6 ram ; i cant decide wich version to buy on poco f4 GT it costs extra 100$
128gb is nothing. Games take more storage than you think they do even on a phone, more storage future proof phone. And since it has the capabilities to record in 4k I don't understand why 256 isn't the minimum...
Salut à vous et merci pour ce comparatif, je possède le F4 GT et j'ai remarqué que les deux enceintes audios ne sont pas exactement les mêmes, celle du bas est plus grave que celle du haut, alors je ne sais pas si il y a un aigue et un grave des deux cotés mais je crois que c'est faux, quand on bouche chacun des deux avec le pouce on sent bien que celui du bas est plus puissant dans les bass, j'ai fait plusieurs test à ce sujet et je suis certain que ce ne sont pas les mêmes hauts parleurs en haut et en bas.
Je crois que c'est important à savoir ! Bonne continuation et merci pour votre travail sérieux 👍
Thanks A lot dear
Glad it helped!
Underrated RUclipsr
Is it still worth it to buy this phone this 2023? Or am I losing on software updates?
Is overheating a big problem for the GT?
This moment which one do think is Poco F5 or Poco f4 gt?
Bad thing is Xiaomi didn't release Redmi K50 Pro & Redmi K50 Gaming (Poco F4 GT) in India 😕 I'm still waiting
I like your video, explain it very well. i want to see when you test poco f4 like you test pocof4gt .i want to see the difference in phones when playing gensin impact
So glad you found it useful! And for sure I'll be testing the F4 as I did with all the other phones I review 😁 and perhaps even a more focused video on genshin impact too so stay tuned!
@@namedkenn I really enjoy your video review. after seeing the results of your video review and boom!, finally i ordered poco f4gt hahaha
can someone tell me , Poco f4 gt always have throttle heat or its fixed after some trick or update? what about game turbo ?
Does f4 gt have charge separation when gaming ???
the vapor chamber is just a buzzword because a copper heat pipe is also a vapor chamber... its more of the new f4 has bigger surface area to dissipate heat and it cost slightly more expensive than the f3... but again this surface area dissipation also has a limit since it is sealed inside the phone with almost no airflow at all to dissipate heat from the thermal heatsinks....
at least the redmagic 7 pro seems to have thermal transfer from the "vapor chamber" to the outside with the metal strip in the center portion at the back of the phone.... but it cost easily over double the price
Can you compare those phones with Black Shark 5 in the future?
I'd love to! But first I will need to get in touch with them first haha
wanted poco F4 GT, but my budget limited on F4 🥺
great review as always!
same here. I wish he compared the cameras
With this kind of phones, it's kind of a coin toss for me since I don't do too much with my phone. I'm still using the Poco F1, I'm only buying a new one because I need a spare phone.
lazada sir. u can buy it for 18k php
@@fordzcabz1555 may link ka pre?
Hey i have Huwaie freebuds 3i i cannot connect to Bluetooth on my new poco f4 gt 5g pls help
Lovin the techy setup🖤
It's not much but thank you! 😆🙏🏻
Hey how many led lights turned on when you turn flashlight at the camera?
There are only two LEDs under that ‘flash’ cutout and well both turns on
this so in depth. actually deciding to get the F4 GT. thanks for this
Super happy to hear that! It took a lot of time and effort to make this one, and I was afraid that people would find it too long but looks like I was wrong 😆
Wait till u feel the drain and heating 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
How high it's temperature if you play call of duty mobile in 2hrs (low graphics, max frame rate) the F4 Gt
Want camera compare between the two
I'm using a Poco x3 and thinking to buy a new Poco phone and what do you prefer between this two and I love your videos
I'll make a video about it in the near future so stay tuned! Though I don't wanna make you wait, honestly it depends on your priority and budget, both are great phones to be honest
@@namedkenn I understand
No earphone port?
GSM Arena said both phones do have front and back Gorilla glass build.
Detailed difference..thanks
Glad you think so, thanks for watching!
wait ......f4 does have 12/256 variant just like GT
Poco F4 GT 8/128 nebo Motorola Edge 30 fusion 8/128 ??? buy ???
camera 📷 ???
I like this kind of video from you
I'm so happy to hear that and please know that I'll do more in the future! 😁
Hi! Just got my f4 gt and i switched off the game booster now i couldn't find it to switch on again haha.... I can't find the swipe button anymore.... Can anyone help me? Thank you! Hahaha
Will you review poco x4 gt, by the way great video❤
I will! And I'm so excited for that so stay tuned and subscribed 😁
@@namedkenn 🙂🙂can't wait😀
Look We are not big fan of that poco or coco but there was a feture it recorded a distance i supoose 50 meter so 8k we can affordable
Hi. Can anyone honestly say the F4 is better than the F3 front & selfie cameras system in terms of having brighter photos, white balance, dynamic range, sharpness, video stabilization, mic pickup and skin tones?
I'd say non of POCOs are good for photo. It doesn't matter which one you pick - they both are bad!
@@ildafons And the annoying part is they don't listen to customers. I could get lucky if I get 2 software updates in 12 months. Security updates appears to be slightly better than last year but MIUI still is bloated and not fully optimised.
@@TechNomadUK1 well F4 GT is for gaming - I wouldn't buy it for making calls either as there is still some problems with proximity sensor and I sold my Poco F3 solely because of proximity sensor. But I think F4 GT is much better in gaming comparing to both F3 and F4...
If you need both gaming performance and good camera and screen and overall good using experience buy Iphone.
This is super good
Short and sweet, thank you so much!! 😆
I Have a poco F3 and F4 GT I don't see any difference between these 2 in terms of performance.the only difference is F4 GT has 2 extra button and 120w charger and F4 GT battery drain a little bit faster than F3 and it heats up more than the F3 and with boost charging speed turned on when the device is hot It doesn't charge at 120W instead you get only speed like 33W.however the display on F4 gt looks shaper when gaming. Overall 870 is stable,8 gen 1 with future updates and optimization it will be getting better.F4 or F4 GT I would recommend X4GT Dimensity 8100 performs better than 870 and is on par with 8 gen 1.regret not getting the X4 GT.
Hi would you say the speakers are alot better on the poco f4 ft as ain't they quad?
What i would really want You Tell me ... And really i am very interested in the 10x(Times) super touch resolution , they Say that f4 GT has it , the touchscreen movementscaee extremely smooth and continous and it has nothing de to with the touch sampling rate !!
Poco f3 back feels like plastic but its glass as i broken my phone on both sides and it did shatter.
How's their camera compared to the a53 or a73...?
Well that's something I can't say for sure since I've only barely tried the A series
Plz tell us about the issue of mother board dying of poco devices
I thought that only happens to me it's so fucking annoying. Is this a general issue ?
its both glass back panel man
Does the motherboard freeze there too at my poco f2 i bought 2 yeats ago it freezes a lot tbats why i want a new phone but i wont go for Poco if that happens for all pocos
So far so good for me
@@namedkenn okay thanks
How about the screen brightness? they say that the poco f4 is brighter than the gt.. is it true?
So far I actually felt that way, but I only used the F4 for a couple days that's why I didn't want to put any conclusive remarks on that in this video
@@namedkenn But in your opinion, does the F4 gt still has the better screen when it comes to watching and scrolling?
@@j.a.santos9859 Honestly both are excellent screens, yes both has their own advantages but really it takes more than the display to pick which one you buy
nice
Doubt does Poco f4 5g also has dual cell battery?
Yep, the POCO F4 uses only a single 4500mAh cell
Hi. Please help. Between f4 and 12t and 11t pro which one has stronger selfie camera?
🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴
Price Matters a lot. Here in the Philippines. Poco F4 GT cost 30,000Php, however, Poco F4 cost only 17,000 php (as of May 2023).
Lol second sa marketplace may 15-18k na Poco F4 GT ung base variant
Well.. More powerfull procesor.. more heating.. U also must considering.. that plastic body back and frame are less noticable on touch than glass and steal frame.. simple as that.. but steal frame.. ofc steal dissipates heat better thats why its hot..er... U also can consider that u will probably u using case.. so most of us.. and thats problem which au au thing disappear.. (:
That's my short factual thought about these "smart"phones (:
Stay haúúy and healty.. peace✌
They both have glass back, but F4 has plastic frame.
damn your english pronunciation is pretty good for an indonesian!
Haha thanks man 🤜🏻
Next level detailing bro♥️
Im using poco f1 (4yrs) i wants to change my phone can u suggest me a best performance phone under 40k-55k
Still love the F3 though. For that matter, the Redmi Note 10 Pro for the price is unbeatable for a all arounder.
the GT is actually looks decent for a gaming phone, it doesn't scream "GAMER" in your face especially the black one
Compare 8plus gen 1 vs 870 which is very interesting.
My goodness it is! Hopefully I can test one out soon 😁
@@namedkenn thank you very much, subscribed so i m waiting bro....
Untuk bermain Genshin Impact F4 lebih baik
14:26 No 8100 might be better than 870 and 1200 might be just as good
Camera?
Will be compared in a separate video! For now I’m going to focus on the gaming tests tho
deadboot issue
F4 is enough tho, but if you extra cash why not F4GT?
For those who already have F3 & wanna buy F4, i don't really think it's worth it
I've seen someone compared the performance between F3 vs F4 GT
F3 have stable and better FPS but produce more heat
While F4GT is not good as F3 but lower heat about 43-45°C also lower power conspumtion compared to F3
Exactly, in my opinion the F4 GT is a much nicer phone for not that much extra (relative to the flagships with the same chip)
And I'll have to test the performance difference myself to make a conclusive decision (I know the report you're talking about hehe) though testing F3 would be a bit challenging since I have to borrow a friend's (or sell my X3 Pro haha)
@@namedkenn would like to see Throtling Comparison
Both with & without game turbo feature some people said Game Turbo improve the performance, but i didn't find someone make video about it
Also i've checked about the camera F4 have OIS while F4GT doesn't have OIS
Would like to see your upcoming Video about camera too
@@rizki4883 oh yes you bet I already recorded the videos testing OIS! Problem is the video turned out to be 20 plus minutes, and if I put in the camera it'll be a half an hour video for sure 🤣
So I decided not to put it in, and maybe shoot some more comparisons as well so it's a win win!
Anyways throttling test sound good to me, but I can only imagine doing it by running a benchmark a couple times (say AnTuTu) as in real games I always try to push these phones as hard as I can anyway
And for Game Turbo (or other android game boosting feature) I see why no one really does a comparison since it's practically harmless to turn on, and if it makes for a better experience then why not right 🤣
I think it usually clears up ram, enable DND, maybe turn up touch sampling rate and enable more aggressive clock speeds, but let's say there's no performance difference, they offer useful features like customizing shoulder buttons/screen recording shortcut/floating app shortcuts which we need anyway
And finally testing with and without game Turbo, then there's the balanced and performance mode will be a ton of work which is why we don't see such comparisons being made, like there are more important settings to be optimized that will result in a more significant performance difference
Phew that was long! But I hope that answers why haha I'm curious myself and probably will do some small testings to share, but probably I won't make a full video talking about it, but hey who knows I might make one if the result is surprising haha
@@namedkenn if you won't do throttling test, i think it's ok
Just gaming comparison is fine , it's more to the point you show the performance on game rather than show the performance on just a paper/sintetic perfomance
Maybe with or without cooler too?
Did u have the f4 gt in ur own hand before commenting this??? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Go buy 1 and have a taste of battery drain and heating🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
In India poco f4 have gg5
the back of the f4 is actually gorilla glass not plastic
Thanks for the info! I'll note that and actually it's the same for F4 GT as well
