The Redmi K40 Gaming edition is expected to launch as the POCO F3 GT in India. Probably, it will launch alongside the POCO M3 Pro 5G, which is also rumored to be in the works for India. While POCO is yet to confirm the existence of these devices, an online retailer has listed the POCO F3 GT with entire specifications and pricing.
The POCO F3 GT’s listing at WelEletronics
shows that it is priced at US$ 1,299. The smartphone is expected to
arrive in India with a pricing of around Rs 25,000 (US$ 341). Hence, it appears
that the handset is listed with incorrect pricing. Past reports have revealed
that it could be rebranded version of the Redmi K40 Gaming, which was announced
recently in China.
As far as specs are concerned, the POCO F3
GT is listed with the same specs as the Redmi K40 Gaming model. It has a
6.67-inch OLED screen that offers a Full HD+ resolution, a 120Hz refresh rate,
and Gorilla Glass 5 protection. The Dimensity 1200 chipset is present under the
hood of the device with 6 GB of RAM.
The listing further states that the POCO
F3 GT has a 128 GB UFS 3.1 storage and a microSD card slot for additional
storage. The 5,065mAh battery of the F3 GT supports 67W fast charging. The POCO
F3 GT has a side-mounted fingerprint scanner. It is unclear whether the device
will feature gaming trigger buttons like the Redmi K40 Gaming. It may come with
a front-facing camera of 16-megapixel and its rear camera setup may include a
64-megapixel main camera, an 8-megapixel ultrawide lens, and a 2-megapixel
macro camera.
In China, the Redmi K40 Gaming is selling
with a starting price of 1,999 Yuan (US$ 312). Readers are advised to
digest the e-commerce listing of the POCO F3 GT with a pinch of salt as its
authenticity could not be approved.
