The front of the POCO X3 GT has a 6.6-inch IPS LCD FHD+ resolution display with a 120Hz refresh rate and a touch sampling rate of 240Hz. The punch hole cutout houses a 16MP selfie shooter and the screen is covered by Corning’s Gorilla Glass Victus, which should prevent accidental scratches and smaller scuffs.

On the back, there is a triple camera setup consisting of a 64MP f/1.79 main sensor, an 8MP ultrawide f/2.2 120-degree, and a 2MP macro camera. The camera has AI features to enhance the image and video quality. There are also Dolby Atmos stereo speakers, an IR sensor, and a side-mounted fingerprint scanner.

The POCO X3 GT is powered by the MediaTek Dimensitiy 1100 5G chipset that’s a very capable SoC. The chipset also supports 5G by default, so that’s also great to see at this price point.

The battery capacity is rated at 5,000 mAh and it even supports 67W fast wired charging, which you can find bundled in the box alongside the Sim tool and the free case that’s provided.
