POCO India is ready to hit the tech market with the launch of their upcoming smartphone in India. The company posted a teased video of the latest F-Series smartphone on its Twitter account with the caption “locked & loaded, finger on the triggers, The next F series is closer than ever.” The teaser video confirms the POCO F3 GT smartphone will be released soon in India.

Few reports suggest that POCO F3 is just renamed version of Redmi K40 Gaming Edition smartphone. But, of course we don’t know that for sure.

Since this phone is dedicated to gaming, it comes with a vapour cooling technology that will enable better thermal management, & the device won’t heat much. And, for easy gaming, the device features buttons on the right-side edge that functions as game triggers.
The device will run on a custom MIUI 12.5 operating system based on Android 11 and 5065mAh battery with 67W fast-charging support. Moreover, the device will be IP53 water splash-resistance certified.
